Break Us Apart Songtext
von Stephen Marley

Would you let them break us apart? (Nuh)
Would you let them? (Ey!)
Would you let them break our hearts?
Would you let them? (Stil-apa-pa)

Would you let them break us apart?
Would you let them? Ey
Would you let them break our hearts?
Would you let them? (No, wi nuh guh leh dem, no)

Together they can′t break us, we are strong
Divide us and the road leads to destruction
Don't you fall a prey to Babylon (no, neva)
They want to pull us all in different directions

So they take you from the root and teach you their own truth
Open up your mind, please don′t you be so blind
Not in it for the fame, I'm in it for the love
When it's all said and done, we′re more than blood


Would you let them break us apart? (Nuh)
Would you let them? (Ey!)
Would you let them break our hearts?
Would you let them? (Stil-apa-pa)

Would you let them break us apart?
Would you let them?
Would you let them break our hearts?
Would you let them?

But wi nuh guh tek dem lesson, nuh guh sidung inna dem class
Pon di road of corruption, ghetto yutes wi nuh guh waak
Jah bless I every step pon di rocky road wi march
Always hav love inna wi heart

But see it Jah now, dis mi positive an sure of
Evri daii di rich a geh rich an di poor a geh poorer
Unite di people in an fram di diaspora
No corruption cyaan cum tru da door ya, an say again

Don′t loose your way
Material couldn't make I dread
We have love and happiness
So we′ll be alright


Would you let them break us apart? (Nuh)
Would you let them? (No, wi wud nuh neva, yeh)
Would you let them break our hearts?
Would you let them? (Stil-apa-pa)

Would you let them break us apart? (Nuh, nuh)
Would you let them? (No, wi wud nuh neva, yeh)
Would you let them break our hearts?
Would you let them?

Together they can't break us, we are strong
Divide us and the road leads to destruction
Don′t you fall a prey to Babylon (no, neva)
They want to pull us all in different directions

So they take you from the root and teach you their own truth
Open up your mind, please don't you be so blind
Not in it for the fame, I′m in it for the love
When it's all said and done, we're more than blood
