War & Friction Songtext
von I‐Roy

War will feature upon the land
And pestilence will walk the earth
Man, it′s time to open your eyes
And try to live for this what life is worth
'Cause if you die you shall eat dirt
Time to open up your eyes, it′s time to realize
Wonder will if the cats of the roof
Have got you hypnotized, I don't know
Open your eyes, Jah Jah children, or you gonna get a blow
Everybody's gonna know
Stop fighting against each other
Stop fighting against your sister or your brother

And each and every day I think of the
Got to put on my glasses and keep my face from too much war
Too much war
If it ain′t your idren, then it′s just your spar
What if man gonna live down in Jamdown or go to Venus a more


I say live up, black man
Say live up, black man
Live up
Say black man, black man live up
To live up, to live up
Dilly dally, say black man got to live up


Gotta stop firing up your gun
Stop bawling out for fire burn
I say black man live up
And a death trap going around
Everyday war, killing, looting
And each and every day the same thing
But what is this?
Black man know yourself, no more war
Throw down your Walmart and Steve Farmer
We tell you no more war
No more war, take care of your brother
Your idren and your spar (Yeah)
No dollar runs in the neighborhood
Nobody's drinking whiskey at the bar
′Fraid even to go to the health camp
Not even your kids can go out and ramp
I tell you, oh no, that's too bad
Brothers and sisters live up
And lick up your cup, I tell you
Say you got to live up
Stand firm and lick your cup
And never-never be no dup-dup (Bad)

Too much war on the land and I man can′t understand
Got to stop us, I got to warn
I plead you, wanna see it calm down
Stand down, black man
Know thyself
