Tribal War

[Intro: Brian & Tony Gold with Buju Banton] Rude boys, be wise War mongers Cool down deh pon all the war and strife Oneness No tek nobody's life Unity [Chorus ft. Buju Banton] Tribal war (take heed) We don't want no more of that Tell them like it is (a' nuh you we a' trod) Tribal war (you get that?) A' nuh that we a' defend Tell them like it is (cry tears, why?) [Verse 1: Buju Banton] Remove the blindfold Primitive days end We have done it already and we won't do it again Just to hurt your own brother All your life was spent turning the wheels of evil Put an end to di trend What is done cannot be undone Amen, Amen Blood a' run, mother dying, starving children Mom would a' say where di answer? When will it end? Some a' bawl, some a' holla For me nah kill dem Because of tribal war you nuh see di pickney dem War and oppression, aid can't reach them What's the solution for the matter? All war have fi end! Remember that [Chorus ft. Buju Banton] Tribal war (Buju Banton say so) A' nuh that we a' defend Tell them like it is [Verse 2: Ganzie] Why can't we say peace? And no bother wit' di war? Too much blood a' run Me can't take it not at all Politicians a' showing dominion Setting no form of example fi the [?] Influencing the youth With money and dem weapon Was so greedy and blind to the situation On election there comes politics fiction And man a' rival and I see it's tribal Say see a [?], see a [?] live like a cannibal Our voice of the earth throughout the dancehall Unu must educate the youth, tell dem di truth Stop fight di truth it a' cause too much dispute A what dem man a' say father Rebel? [Rebel] So much things to say, let's celebrate today I tell you this, watch this, have mercy [Verse 3: Rebel] A' election or not, we nuh 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 a' Jamrock, you better Promote life and demote death You can't big up the killing and yuh can't blow breath Honour these words and nuh disrespect 'cause anything you work for man a' that you goin' get [Chorus ft. Rebel] Tribal war (man say put it on pause until you ready fi fight for a cause) We don't want no more of that (that's not needed my friend, put that to an end!) Tribal war A' nuh that we a' defend (let love abide) Tell them like it is [Verse 4: Rebel] Say from the day that me born me never see the need for strife If them need to do that man a' with dem voice So dash weh the gun and dash weh the bomb and dash weh di knife A' full time now we start to unite 'cause this is something that we must practice Fight fi equal rights and justice Right now we haffi try set some new trend 'cause the tribalism it must come to an end [Chorus ft. Rebel] Tribal war (listen keenly) We don't want no more of that (take heed my brother take heed don't follow that greed) Tribal war (fight for your wants and fight for your need and remember to sow good seed) A' nuh that we a' defend ('cause what you sow is that you reap) Tell them like it is (an' nuh bother set up no whole leap a' fire heap 'pon ya head yuh hear sah?) [Outro] Tell them like it is Tell them like it is
