Damian Marley - Confrontation (ft. Bunny Wailer) EXPLICIT
[H.I.M. Haile Selassie I speaking in Amharic, English translation]
"The security of the world
Those who disturb the peace at this time
We are going to describe them now"
[Intro: Bunny Wailer]
Since the beginning of modern civilization
Generations have witnessed and inherited
The only conflicts of world wars
But behold the marriage supper of the lamb
And the bridegroom onto his bride
Then shall the earth's children know
The true expression of one love
Then mother earth shall honeymoon in peace
Forever eliminating the aspirations
Lust and anguish of wars and rumours of wars
Selah...
[Verse 1: Damian Marley]
See it deh know the innocent going up in vapours
And propaganda spreading inna the Sunday papers
Not even Superman could a save you with him cape, 'cause
Red-a Judgement a blaze, blaze yah
And Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorse
And gi' dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razors
And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed, 'cause
Dem inna dem churches trying to save... saviours
[Dialogue 1: Marcus Garvey]
Can we do it? We can do it. We shall do I.!
[Verse 2: Damian Marley]
Boom! Tell dem fi no draw me out
When the world government inna falling out
Only few men survive crawling out
Run lef' him colleagues dem sprawling out
Nearly dead! Medic haffi haul him out
And gi' him two tranquillizer fi stall him out
Deh 'pon base! Can't get no calling out
When him hear from the shout last week
Him mistress find a new shoes
Wife can't get no news and lately she starting to doubt
She still searching and the youth dem bawling out
Working hard not to never let it all come out
Well, it's not safe to go walk about
A slaughterhouse from Baghdad to Waterhouse
She start to arouse, sometime she want a spouse
She start go out, start beat a darker stout
Guns come out! Working people funds run out
Keep a show last week and no one come out
Bombs come out! Me gas tank just run out
Bomboclaat, the scotch tape just run out
Weed run out! Your senses must dumb out
Me have a pound round a back deh a gwaan sun out
Nah come out! Till the chalice bun out
Nah come out! Till the malice bun out, a war!
[Bridge: Damian Marley]
Zimbabwe to Berlin Wall
Blazing like a burning ball
Loose ball, that no work, in war
Sleeping, that no work, in war
Can't wear jheri curl, in war
No diamond and pearl, in war
Can't drink weh a serve in bar, cah
Gas will fuck up your nerves, in war
Shot we blood up your shirt, in war
Can't go lift up no skirt, in war
Now disease and germs, in war
Can't go release your sperms, in war
Stamina must preserve, in war
Fire constantly burn, in war
Red, it red, it red, it red, it red
[Dialogue 2: Marcus Garvey]
If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it
Then you will die
You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles
You race of good for nothings
If you cannot do what other men have done
What other nations have done, what other races have done
Then you yourself shall die!
[Verse 1: Damian Marley]
See it deh know the innocent going up in vapours
And propaganda spreading inna the Sunday papers
Not even Superman could a save you with him cape, 'cause
Red-a Judgement a blaze, blaze yah
And Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorse
And gi' dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razors
And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed, 'cause
Dem inna dem churches trying to save... saviours
[Verse 3: Damian Marley]
Hey!
Now we foreparents sacrifice enough
Dem blood sweat and tears run like syrup
Any day a revolution might erupt
And the skies over Kingston lighting up
For the new generation rising up
Of youths now a days weh dem sighting up
And through reasoning dem biding up
Searching for the sign and the sign is us
Searching for the truth all you find is us
Searching for the troops still behind is us
The almighty we recruit and we come from the root
We build like roach building boot
Weh just can't done, Rastafari we design tuff
If a the fight for freedom sign me up
'Cause you Tell-Lie-Vision can't blind me up
Soldiers and police dem wising up
Realizing they're no more right than us
Realizing there's no use fighting us
Realizing their opening their eyes
To see the same demoralizing life as us
So we nah tek talk nor smiling up
Cah the word temper tantrum boiling up, and who...
Calling the shots and nah bust none
Controlling the mind of the young, bring down...
[Bridge: Damian Marley]
Bear famine, no rain nah fall
From London to Dadeland mall
All the son of the virgin bawl
Institute of the church, in war
Preaching and researching, war
Practice and rehearsing, war
Teaching and dem learning, war
Instigating and urging, war
Always keep alert in, war
Cah man will jump out a swerving car
Now bees and birds, in war
And the freaks and nerds, in war
And the straight and curves, in war
Forward and reverse, in war
Red, it red, it red, it red, it red
[Dialogue 2: Marcus Garvey]
If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it
Then you will die
You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles
Tou race of good for nothings
If you cannot do what other men have done
What other nations have done, what other races have done
Then you yourself shall die
