War

What life has taught me

I would like to share with

Those who want to learn...



Until the philosophy which hold one race 

Superior and another inferior

Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned

Everywhere is war, me say war



That until there are no longer first class 

And second class citizens of any nation

Until the colour of a man's skin

Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes

Me say war



That until the basic human rights are equally

Guaranteed to all, without regard to race

Dis a war



That until that day

The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship

Rule of international morality

Will remain in but a fleeting illusion

To be persued, but never attained

Now everywhere is war, war



And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes

that hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique,

South Africa sub-human bondage

Have been toppled, utterly destroyed

Well, everywhere is war, me say war



War in the east, war in the west

War up north, war down south

War, war, rumours of war



And until that day, the African continent

Will not know peace, we Africans will fight

We find it necessary and we know we shall win

As we are confident in the victory



Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil

Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil

History:



Last May, in Addis Ababa there was convened a meeting of Heads of

African States and Governments. In three days, the thirty-two nations

represented at that Conference demonstrated to the world that when the

will and the determination exist, nations and peoples of diverse

backgrounds can and will work together in unity for the achievement of

common goals and the assurance of that equality and brotherhood which we

desire.



Although our position vis-a-vis the power-blocs is identified with the

policy of non-alignment, our past history testifies to the fact that we

have always endeavored to cooperate with all nations, without exception.

Thus, one of the fundamental principles we have agreed upon at the Addis

Ababa Summit Conference gives expression to our fundamental desire to

live in harmony and cooperation with all States.



On the question of racial discrimination, the Addis Ababa Conference

taught, to those who will learn, this further lesson :



that until the philosophy which holds one race superior and

another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and

abandoned; that until there are no longer any first-class and

second-class citizens of any nation; that until the color of a

man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his

eyes; that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed

to all, without regard to race -- until that day, the dreams of

lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of

international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to

be pursued but never attained. And also, that until the ignoble

and unhappy regimes that hold our brothers in Angola, in

Mozambique and in South Africa in subhuman bondage have been

toppled and destroyed; until bigotry and prejudice and

malicious and inhuman self-interest have been replaced by

understanding, tolerance and good-will; until all Africans

stand and speak as free beings, equal in the eyes of all men as

they are in Heaven -- until that day the African continent will

not know peace. We Africans will fight, if necessary and we

know that we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of

good over evil.



The United Nations has done much, both directly and indirectly, to speed

the disappearance of discrimination and oppression from the earth.

Without the opportunity to focus world opinion on Africa and Asia which

this Organization provides, the goal might, for many, still lie ahead,

and the struggle would have taken far longer. For this we are truly

grateful.

One Drop

Feel it in the one drop

And we'll still find time to rap

We're making the one stop

The generation gap

So feel this drum beat

As it beats within

Playing a rhythm resisting against the system

Ooh-we I know JAH'd never let us down

Pull your rights from wrong

I know JAH'd never let us down

Oh no! oh no! oh no!



They made the world so hard

Everyday we got to keep on fighting

Everyday the people are dying

From hunger and starvation, lamentation

But read it in Revelation

You'll find your redemption

And then you give us the the teaching of His Majesty

For we no want no devil philosophy



Feel it on the one drop

And we still find time to rap

We're making the one stop

And we fill in the gap

So fell this drum beat

As it beats within, playing a rhythm

Fighting against ism and skism

Survival

How can you be sitting there

telling me that you care

That you care

When everytime I look around

The people suffer in suffering

In everywhere, In everywhere



Na-Na-Na-Na-NA

We're the survivors

Yes, the black survival

Some people got hopes & dreams

Some people got no aim it seems

out of the Lion's den suvivors



So my brethren, my sisthren

Which way will we choose

Some people got Ways & means

Some people got the facts & claims

Some people got the pride & shame



Na-Na-Na-Na-Na

Some people put the best outside

Some people keep the best inside

Some people can't stand up strong

Some people won't wait for long



Na-Na-Na-Na-Na

We're the suvivors; a black survival

In this age of technological inhumanity

We're the survivors black survival

Scientific atrocity, we're the survivors

Atomic mis-philosophy, we're the survivors

It's a world that forces life long insecurity

All together now we're the survivors

A good man is never honoured in his own

country. Black survival

Nothing change. Nothing strange

Nothing change. Nothing strange

We got to survive, we got to survive

But to live as one equal in the eyes

of the almighty.

Concrete Jungle

...

No sun will shine in my day today

The high yellow moon won't come out to play,

I said darkness has covered my light,

and the stage my day into night,

Where is the love to be found, oh someone tell me

'cause life must be somewhere to be found

Instead of concrete jungle where the living is harder

Concrete jungle, man you've got to do your best.

Of melodies pure and true
