Peace Cry

Uh! Hey, yo! Hello!
Why kill each other when you still have no food, huh?
Praying for peace
Oh, yes it's been happening (Oh yeah)
And we don't want no more, woii (No more, woii)
We don't want no more, woii

Tribal war, tribal war

Tell me why the east side
Nuh flex up with the west side
And why the ghetto people
Never happy with the ones dem uptown
Why is it the country man
Nuh trust no man from Kingston Town
And it's the same bad diseases
Spreading round and round
Everyone is so cold, I
Ya, ya, ya, yeah
Wha' him say, Wailman?

You know something?
Big up the peace and not the war
'Cause we're coming from afar
Remember when we used to par?
Used to put it pon the tar
Now you driving in your car, bussing up your SLR
Rob the shop and rob the bar
But hold it down, nuh star
Little shotta, you fi cool enuh
Stop the trigger happy, you fi put down all the tool, enuh
Blood, it just a run you like a river and a pool, enuh
Killing off your brothers and your sister like a fool, enuh
Fool, enuh

Pon the back and all the frontline, frontline
And if a war we burn the slay time, slay time
Ghetto shout, we no waan no borderline
Yo, Mr. Man, deh we with the TEC-9, TEC-9
No come yaso come blow no carbine, carbine
Look, we a deal with inna this time, this time
Well, Richie Stevens come sing the next line

Tell the shotta dem hold it down
We no want no gunshot no more, no more, no more, no more
Hold it down
We no want no gunshot no more
Tell the police dem cool it off
We no want no bloodshed no more, no more, no more, no more
Hold it down
We no want no bloodshed no more

Maganary to Jah say
Life forevermore and Rasta bring down death, yes, yes
Life, it is of Jah and Rasta far I bless, yes, yes
Blood in the streets, we don't need that
We are one blood, we got to know that, yeah

Everyone come together in unity
Turn the rebel 'way

So whether the police or the badman kill the man
Say that a murder, no make no difference
Even if you a soldier
The senseless killing, them deh ting must be over
Cyan turn yaso inna fi a don or you go slaughter
Look like the man dem love to work with the war
A kill off black people like say dem a dog
No waan no excuse 'bout say time hard
Tell dem, Nitty Kutchie, dem peace sign, a pass on

Why are we so blind to see?
The ones we hurt are you and me
Me for you and you for me
That's the way it should be

Tribal war, tribal war

We no want, no want, no want, no want no more
Tribal war, tribal war, yeah

I know that, I know that, I know that, I know that, see
