No War (Obama)

{*Barack Obama victory speech*}

"It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor

Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American..."

[Barrington Levy]

We don't make, we don't make war

If you deal with war, backwards stay far

We're dealing with truths and rights come some more into my sight

Whether you a pimpy or livin right

See all I'm tryna do is just get on with my life

The children are the future, so give them a try...

Whoooooaaaa-aaa!!

We have something for the people!

Busta Rhymes! (ayy!) Barrington Levy!

Mi seh! We have something new ya know!

Stop the senseless killing, trample the war

Hey you people your backs against the walls

The way that we're living we're bound to get a fall

Why can't we get together and tear down the walls?

{Obama}

"...who still wonders if the dream of our founders

Is alive in our time; who still questions the power

Of our democracy, tonight is your answer..."

[Levy]

A know one a we, a know two a we

A know three a we, inna dis ya family AYY!

Touch one a we, then you haffi touch the whole a we (Mr. Levy!)

Inna dis ya family AYY! (Bussa-Bus!)

[Busta Rhymes]

Lemme talk to the people...

See I promise if you violate we coming just to lock off

The barricades of the borough, get your hand chopped off

And probably peel your top off

And pop off the ratchet right in the middle of silence

We don't advocate no violence

But if you're tryna to cross that unforgiving territory once son

And touch my family I will be abducting your loved ones

Like we in the club come, we love to hear the people shout (AHH-WOO!)

It's nothing to tear it down but I'd rather take the peaceful route

Now done with the war, we woulda love it if people screamin it out

You ain't talking about living right, then tell me what are you speaking about

Rhyming and refocused watch the look up on your face-na-na-NA!

And spread a little love, whole heap-a people inna di place-na-na-NA!

See everytime we step in the function we do it proper

It's Busta Rhymes and Barrington Levy, you better call the doctor

We keep it cool but don't forget, you don't wanna spar with us

We're very peaceful but relentless, you don't really want no war with us!

{Obama}

"It's been a long time coming, but tonight

Because of what we did on this day, in this election

At this defining moment, change has come to America..."

[Levy]

A know one a we, a know two a we

A know three a we, inna dis ya family AYY!

Touch one a we, then you haffi touch the whole a we

Inna dis ya family AYY!

[Kardinal Offishall]

Some man dem come fi buss dem gun, shoot dem Glock

But Kardinal come fi bun bad mind, erase that talk

The time is now to recognize what's in the street, what's on the turf

My whole family, told me that I'm king of the Earth

But you earn your royalty, you can't steal or lie for it

If it ain't about my fam I ain't ready to die for it

Money's just a likkle ting, buss for your rights

Police BUSS into my mom's house in the middle of the night

Told me put my hands to the sky, beg for your life

I told em shoot if you want but leave the kids and the wife

As I looked to the floor I saw the nine within reach

But if I do what I'm thinking then who's left to teach?

My people, my community, there's no immunity

War's spreading like the plague, discouraging unity

So I pray through the skylight for Jah Jah to bless

We under stress, but intelligence and "One Love" is how we progress

Yesssss!

{Obama}

"Americans have sent a message to the world

That we have never been just a collection of individuals

Or a collection of red states and blue states;

We are, and always will be, the United States of America..."

[Levy]

A know one a we, a know two a we

A know three a we, inna dis ya family AYY!

Touch one a we, then you haffi touch the whole a we

Inna dis ya family AYY!

Cause We don't make, we don't make war

If you deal with war, backwards stay far

If you deal with truth and rights come some more into my sight

Whether you're black or whether you're white

See all I'm tryna do is get on with my life

The children are the future, so give them a try...

Whoooooaaaa-aaa!!
