Nas - Tribes At War songtekst

Je score:

(with Damian Marley

feat. K'naan)




[Chorus 1  - Jr. Gong x2]

Tribal war

We nuh want no more a dat 

Every man deserve to earn 

And every child deserve to learn, now 



Tribal war 

A nuh dat we a defend 

Every man deserve a turn 

Like a flame deserve to burn 



[Verse 1 - Nas]

Man what happened to us? 

Geographically they moved us 

From africa 

We was once happiness pursuers 

Now we back stabbing, combative and abusive 

The african and arab go at it they most muslim 

Used to be moving in unison 

Disputes would end 

Bounty hunters and grape street get cool again 

Some standard housing 

Got the young running rampant 

Wilding, for a phantom 

He can style in 

Mask on his face 

Grabbing his luger 

Saying, 'gnobody move or I'll shoot ya'

Man you're expiring 

Catch 25 and he does it like a man 

He sides with black, 

White pride and mexican 

Survive the best he can 

Strap a shank to his thigh 

Why do we all collide? 

Why do the young die? 

Extortion, murder and burglary 

Tattoos his chest 

Says his enemies don't deserve to breathe



[Chorus 2 - Jr. Gong x2]

Tribal war 

We nuh want no more a dat 

Everyone deserve to earn 

And every child deserve to learn, lord 



Tribal war 

A nuh dat we a defend 

Each and every man deserve a turn 

Like a flame deserve to burn 



[Verse 2 - K'Naan]

I drink poison 

Then I vomit diamonds 

I gave you mandela, black dalai lamas 

I gave you music 

You enthused in my kindness 

So how dare you reduce me to donny imus 

Timeless in case we never been acquainted 

Flyness who made it 

It gets duplicated 

Mindless violence 

Well let me try to paint it 

Here's the 5 steps 

In hopes to explain it 

One! 

Its me and my nation against the world 

Two! 

Then me and my clan against the nation 

Three! 

Then me and my fam' against the clan 

Four! 

Then me and my brother we no hesitation 

Uh! 

Go against the fam' until they cave in 

Five! 

Now who's left in this deadly equation? 

That's right, it's me against my brother 

Then we point a kalashnikov 

And kill one another 



[Chorus 3 - Jr. Gong x2]

Tribal war 

We nuh want no more a dat 

Everyone deserve to earn 

And every child deserve to learn 



Tribal war 

A nuh dat we a defend 

Every man deserve a turn 

Like a flame deserve to burn 



[Verse 3 - Jr. Gong]

Man a war tribal 

Over colors 

Over money, over land, and over oil, and over god 

And over idols, and even lovers 

Over breakfast, over dinner, over suppers 

Over jungle, over rema, over buckers 

Over brooklyn, over queens, and over rutgers 

Over red, and over blue, and over chuckers 

Over red and over blue and under covers 

Tribal trouble 

The drive by s double 

Cause the youth dem nah go war 

And go fight with knuckle 

The two sides scuffle 

Vietnam nah go a war 

With no more kung fu nun chuckle 

Missile and shuttle 

Huh 

And the queen of england and uncle sam 

Dem a flex dem muscle 

The tribal hustle 

Blood diamond poodle 

Survival struggle 



[Chorus 4 - Jr. Gong x2]

Tribal war 

We nuh want no more a dat 

Everyone deserve to earn 

Every child deserve to learn 



Tribal war 

A nuh dat we a defend 

Each and every man deserve a turn 

Like a flame deserve to burn
