Damian Marley - Brothers Keeper

Bunny Wailer

From the slaveship to the chain

From the task masters whip to my brain

Kidnapped, enslaved, raped and killed by the lynch clan

Again and again

Is it the origin of the skin or the face of a race

Why you don't care about me?

Ziggy Marley

Now, I know you don't care about me

I`m just a nigger walking down your street

The brother did nothing wrong

but now his life is gone

So, I know you don't care about me

Code of silence you say

Yet your action speaks so loud and clear

Diallo`s killers going free paid by society

Now I know you don't care about me

Damian "Junior Gong" Marley

Hey - we should be burning and looting, believe me, start exchange 41 fe 90

Our ancestors wey build this country and all sticks and whips and kicks and punches meanwhile your living like some bird in bunches

Tell me where the justice much less the dances?

Mi world must know that man still in darkness

Yami Bolo

Lord! Rapings, torture, kill and maim. Their injustice remains the same

killing the people in the Queens name

No one will gets the blame, and my people keep going down the drain

All these crimes we've come to read, they'll be written in black history

Crimes of injustice and inhumanity, perpetuated by society, and my people

are living in poverty

Bunny Wailer

My struggle for survival is to be accepted and treated as a member of the human family, who's practice should reveal the fundamental right and duty to be humane in all judgement and action to all humanity

So, why don't you care about me?

Ziggy Marley

Say, I know you don't care about me

I`m just a nigger walking down your street

The brother did nothing wrong, but now his life is gone

and I know you don't care about me

Code of silence you say

but your action is so loud and clear

Are Diallo's killers going free? Paid by society

And I know you don't care about me

Buju Banton

Amadou Diallo, they killed him for nuttin'

No crime him did not do!

And just like him there were others who suffered for what they didn't do

We're living in a system, we are the victim and that is so true

Amadou Diallo - Reggae music knows your name

Amadou Diallo - Reggae music knows your name

Ziggy / Refrain/Morgan Heritage

Yo, Ziggy, check this out!

It's kinda strange how the same things been happening

over and over again, over and over again

And they say their constitution's for the benefit of all

It's all a lie again, it's all a lie again

Tell me when will this injustice change

Tell me when will we stop feeling pain

Just the way we survive in their eyes it's a crime

You're to blame for all that's bleeding this way

Yes, we know you don't care about we

Yes, we know you don't care about we

Malcolm X: "We want to talk right down to earth in a language that everybody here can easily understand. We all agree tonight - all of the speakers have agreed - that America has a very serious problem! Not only does America have a very serious problem / But our people have a very serious problem."

One Love,
