Cease the Violence

Step away from destruction
(Step away)
Step away from your failures
(step away)
Listen this
Sizzla tell dem

Cease the violence
Cause we nah need no violence
Teach me something
And open up me eye dem
Cease the violence
Cause we nah need no violence
Teach me something
And open up me eye dem

Weakness no gone weh at all
Buju inna prison
Only make bad a ball
Love from when RasTafari yah call
You nevah listen could no you see back against the wall
A di system it a use you
The same system it a confuse you
The same system it a refuse you
The same system abuse you
So hear me now

Cease the violence
Cause we nah need no violence
Teach me something
And open up me eye dem
Cease the violence
Cause we nah need no violence
Teach me something
And open up me eye dem

So stress more love Kalonji
(spread more love)
And teach the people in dem country
(teach dem)
From you corrupt you can
Sing how soffouring and hungry
Welcome to mi country
This is jamaica
Life is more valuable
Than a piece of paper
Stop to want
To you living inna skyscraper
Emperor Selassie I is on save yah
Hear me Nya

Cease the violence
Cause we nah need no violence
Teach me something
And open up me eye dem
Cease the violence
Cause we nah need no violence
Teach me something
And open up me eye dem
