Tribes At War
Damian Marley

(Tribal war--we not want no more)

Everyone deserve to earn and every child deserve to learn

(Tribal war--none of that)

Every man deserve a turn like a flame deserve to burn

(Tribal war--we not want no more)

Each and everyone deserve to earn and every child deserve to learn

(Tribal war--none of that)

'Cause every man deserve a turn like Babylon deserved to burn

Man, what happened to us? Geographically they moved us

From Africa--we was once happiness pursuers

Now we back stabbing, combative, and abusive

The African and Arab go at it--they most Muslim

We should be moving in unison; disputes should end

Bounty hunters in Grape Street get cool again

Substandard housing got the young running rampant

Wilding for a phantom he can style in

Mask on his face, grabbing his Ruger

Said, nobody move, I'll shoot ya; man, you're expiring

Catch twenty-five and he doesn't like the man inside

With black, white pride, and Mexican, survive the best he can

Strap a shank to his thigh

Why do we all collide? Why do the young die?

Extortion, murder, and burglary

Tattoos his chest; it says his enemies don't deserve to breathe

(Tribal war--we not want no more)

Everyone deserve to earn and every child deserve to learn

(Tribal war--none of that)

'Cause every man deserve a turn like Babylon deserved to burn

I drink poison; then I vomit diamonds

I gave you Mandela, black Dalai Lamas

I gave you music; you enthused in my kindness

So how dare you reduce me to Donny Imus?

Timeless in case we ain't never been acquainted

Flyness--we made it; it gets duplicated

Mindless violence--well, let me try to paint it

Here's the five steps in hopes to explain it

One: it's me and my nation against the world

Two: and me and my clan against the nation

Three: and me and my fam' against the clan

Four: then me and my brother with no hesitation

Go against the fam' until they cave in

Five: now who's left in this deadly equation?

That's right: it's me against my brother

Then we point a Kalashnikov and kill one another

(Tribal war--we not want no more)

Everyone deserve to earn and every child deserve to learn

(Tribal war--none of that)

Every man deserve a turn like Babylon deserve to burn

Honor war tribal--over colors

Over money, over land, and over oil, and over God, and over idols

And even lovers, over breakfast, over dinner, over socas

Over jungle, over rema, over okas

Over Brooklyn, over Queens, and over Rutgers

Over red and over blue and over chuckers

Over red and over blue and undercovers

Tribal trouble, the drive-bys double

'Cause the youth them not go war and go fight with knuckle

The two sides scuffle

Vietnam not go a war with no more kung-fu nunchacku

Missile and shuttle

And the queen of England and Uncle Sam them flex them muscle

The tribal hustle, blood diamond puddle, survival struggle

(Tribal war--we not want no more)

Everyone deserve to earn, every child deserve to learn

(Tribal war--none of that)

Each and everyone deserve a turn like a flame deserve to burn

(Tribal war--we not want no more)

Everyone deserve to earn and every child deserve to learn

(Tribal war--none of that)

'Cause every man deserve a turn like Babylon deserved to burn
