Try and remember now just what has been done
C                           Dm
Enslavement, displacement of every nation
           Bb                   Dm
And now to one nation, everyone hold their grudge
        C                           Dm
Kind of makes me wonder 'bout which side I'm on

I don't defend white, and I don't defend black

Never trade my sanity for living in Babylon crew

Vanity will never drive this man insane
C                            Dm
This man will walk alongside Jah again

Bb                                Dm
We see all of the pressure to conform today
    C                              Dm
And I may sometimes bend, but only as not to break
Bb                             Dm
'Cause a life of iniquity for laziness' sake
      C                        Dm
Is a deal with the devil Rasta just can't make

Bb                        Dm
Looking back now upon all of the evidence

400 years and what those years have really done
Bb                          Dm
We talk of peace but at the first sign of war
C                                   Dm
Brethren ain't brethren and sistren ain't sistren no more

Bb                           Dm
Without forgiveness how will any war cease
          C                     Dm
While the heathen rage rastaman sitting at ease
   Bb                              Dm
No one will move a muscle for some moral justice
         C                            Dm
And whit no justice, well, there will be no peace
