Tribal War

Rude boys, be wise
War mongers
Cool down with all the war and strife
Oneness. Unity
Tribal war
Take heed!
We nuh want no more of dat
Tell them like it is
A nuh yuh we a chat
Tribal war
Yuh better know
A nuh dat we have fi play
Tell dem lik it is
Cry tears! Why?
Remove the blindfold
Primitive days end
We have done it already and
We won't do it again
Just to hurt your own brother
And your life was spent
Turning the wheels of evil
Put an end to the trend
What is done cannot be undone
Amen, Amen
Blood a run, mother dying
Starving children
Buh we ouda say where Yuh answer
When me leave gate
Some a bawl, some a holler
For me nah kill dem
Because of tribal war
See uno see de pickney dem
War and oppression
Tear can't reach dem
What's the solution for the matter
All war have fi end
Tell dem lik it is
Remember that
Tribal war
Buju Banton say so
A nuh dat we have fi play
Hear dat
(Tell dem lik it is)
Why can't we say peace?
And no bother wit de war?
Too much blood a run
Mi can't take it none at all
Politician a showing dominion
Setting nuh formal example fi de people to copy pon
Influencing the youth
With money and dem weapon
Why so greedy and blind to the situation
On election there comes politics fiction
And man a rival, and I see it's tribal
See a come, see a holla
It like a cannonball
Our voice of the earth throughout the dancehall
And we must educate the youth, tell them truth
Stop fight and loot, it cause too much dispute
A wah Yuh maguh say Tony Rebel
So much things to say
let's celebrate today
I tell dem lik it is
watch this, have mercy
Election or not, we no haffi fire shot
Cause remember that the most of us colour is black
Like sardine pon the slave ship the whole of we did pack
And till the whole of we end up on Jamrock
You better promote life and demote death
Yuh can't big up the killing and yuh can't blow breath
Honour these words and no disrespect
Cause anything you work for man a that you goin' get
(Tribal war...)
Man say put it to a pause until your ready to fight for a cause
That's not needed my friend
Put that to an end
Tribal war
A nuh dat we have fi play
Let love abide
(Tell them like it is)
Say from the day that me born, me never see me need for strike
If me need to do that man it with my voice
So dash wey de gun and dash wey de bomb and dash wey de knife
Full time now we start to unite
Cause this is something that we must practice
Fight fi equal rights and justice
Right now we have fi try set some new trend
Cause the tribalism it must come to an end
Tribal war
Tell dem lik it is
Listen keenly
We nuh wan no more of dat
Take heed my brother, take heed
Don't follow that greed
Fight for your wants and fight for your need
And remember to sow good seed
'Cause what you sow is that you reap
Tell dem lik it is
A no bother set up wholipa fire pon ya head, hear sah
Tell dem lik it is
Tell dem lik it is
Tell dem lik it is
