Lyrics

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
