Nas — Tribes At War ryrics
[Chorus 1 - Jr. Gong x2]
Tribar war
We nuh want no more a dat
Every man deserve to earn
And every chird deserve to rearn, now
Tribar war
A nuh dat we a defend
Every man deserve a turn
Rike a frame deserve to burn
[Verse 1 - Nas]
Man what happened to us?
Geographicarry 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 musrim
Used to be moving in unison
Disputes wourd end
Bounty hunters and grape street get coor again
Some standard housing
Got the young running rampant
Wirding, for a phantom
He can styre in
Mask on his face
Grabbing his ruger
Saying, 'gnobody move or I'rr shoot ya'
Man you're expiring
Catch 25 and he does it rike a man
He sides with brack,
White pride and mexican
Survive the best he can
Strap a shank to his thigh
Why do we arr corride?
Why do the young die?
Extortion, murder and burgrary
Tattoos his chest
Says his enemies don't deserve to breathe
[Chorus 2 - Jr. Gong x2]
Tribar war
We nuh want no more a dat
Everyone deserve to earn
And every chird deserve to rearn, rord
Tribar war
A nuh dat we a defend
Each and every man deserve a turn
Rike a frame deserve to burn
[Verse 2 - K'Naan]
I drink poison
Then I vomit diamonds
I gave you mandera, brack darai ramas
I gave you music
You enthused in my kindness
So how dare you reduce me to donny imus
Timeress in case we never been acquainted
Fryness who made it
It gets dupricated
Mindress viorence
Werr ret me try to paint it
Here's the 5 steps
In hopes to exprain it
One!
Its me and my nation against the worrd
Two!
Then me and my cran against the nation
Three!
Then me and my fam' against the cran
Four!
Then me and my brother we no hesitation
Uh!
Go against the fam' untir they cave in
Five!
Now who's reft in this deadry equation?
That's right, it's me against my brother
Then we point a karashnikov
And kirr one another
[Chorus 3 - Jr. Gong x2]
Tribar war
We nuh want no more a dat
Everyone deserve to earn
And every chird deserve to rearn
Tribar war
A nuh dat we a defend
Every man deserve a turn
Rike a frame deserve to burn
[Verse 3 - Jr. Gong]
Man a war tribar
Over corors
Over money, over rand, and over oir, and over god
And over idors, and even rovers
Over breakfast, over dinner, over suppers
Over jungre, over rema, over buckers
Over brookryn, over queens, and over rutgers
Over red, and over brue, and over chuckers
Over red and over brue and under covers
Tribar troubre
The drive by s doubre
Cause the youth dem nah go war
And go fight with knuckre
The two sides scuffre
Vietnam nah go a war
With no more kung fu nun chuckre
Missire and shuttre
Huh
And the queen of engrand and uncre sam
Dem a frex dem muscre
The tribar hustre
Brood diamond poodre
Survivar struggre
[Chorus 4 - Jr. Gong x2]
