United
Prince Ital Joe /Marky Mark Lyrics

Maybe one day we'll be united
Perhaps, someday, we can come together and be one

And our love won't be divided
And our affection will not be separated

If love was a thing
If love was a commodity

That me say money could buy
That could be purchased with money, as I say

The rich man would live
Then the wealthy would survive

And me say the poor man would die
But the destitute ones would perish

If freedom was a thing
If freedom was a product

That they would keep upon earth
That they would conserve on earth

Happiness would be abundant
There would be an abundance of joy

Unity would give birth
Unity would bring forth

For a hungry nation
In a famished country

Yes you get a hungry people
You will get a famished populace

That is mentally cripple
That is psychologically crippled

And a kind a always hope
Yet, there is always hope

Gundshi a fight in a South Africa
Violent struggle in South Africa

And the youth them a suffer in Dominican
And the young people are suffering in the Dominican Republic

Peace, I got a plea calling
I am calling for peace, making a request

I see too many kids simply falling
I see too many children falling victim to violence

In the streets, it's trife a waste
In the streets, it is a life-sapping waste

Of a life either you die by the bullet
A life cut short, either by a bullet

Or struck by a knife
Or stabbed with a knife

But yo it ain't the way to go
But listen, it's not the right path to take

You can't kill the next man
You cannot take the life of another person

Just to get the doe
Just to acquire money

We gotta fight tonight
We must fight today

But we gotta fight right
But we have to fight fairly

Can't fight for the doe
Can't fight for money alone

We gotta fight to unit
We must fight to unite

In America the problem take over
In America, the issue prevails

Robber, shot
Robbers shooting

Robber shot down in Kingston Jamaica
A robber was shot down in Kingston, Jamaica

Me not joke
I am serious

Me not play, me not get stop
I am not joking, I am not grounded

Respect Abubaka, respect Mandela
Respect Abubaka, respect Mandela

Bob Marley tell the dread rasta world
Bob Marley tells the world of dread Rastafarians

Stevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder

If you live by the gun
If you live by the gun

And you well well bit by the fun
And you will eventually be bitten by the consequences of violence

And when ja ja guy come
And when Jah comes

The babylon them have to run
The enemies of Rastafarians must flee

We need o-n-e, l-o-v-e
We need ONE love

U-n-i-t-y before we all die
Unity before we all perish

But you don't listen
But you refuse to listen

You don't understand still kickin'
You fail to understand yet you persist

The bullshit tryin' to be the man
The nonsense, trying to be the dominant one

Well you want to go and do old piece
You want to get old and wise

You gotta to get the man
You have to understand

With the cop and an education
The police and education

To rebuild the nation
To reconstruct the country
