[00:10.34] Tribal war
[00:13.12]
[00:14.38] We nuh want no more a dat
[00:17.30] Every man deserve to earn
[00:18.11] And every child deserve to learn now
[00:20.01]
[00:21.07] Tribal war
[00:21.53]
[00:24.06] A nuh dat we a defend
[00:25.60] Every man deserve a turn
[00:26.85]
[00:27.49] Like a flame deserve to burn
[00:30.03]
[00:35.00] Man what happened to us
[00:37.32] Geographically they moved us
[00:39.31]
[00:44.94] From africa
[00:45.38] We was once happiness pursuers
[00:47.76] Now we back stabbing combative and abusive
[00:51.15] The african and arab go at it they most muslim
[00:53.60] Used to be moving in unison
[00:56.43] Disputes would end
[00:57.22] Bounty hunters and grape street get cool again
[01:04.39] Some standard housing
[01:06.77] Got the young running rampant
[01:08.20] Wilding for a phantom
[01:09.62] He can style in
[01:11.94] Mask on his face
[01:12.93] Grabbing his luger
[01:13.47] Saying 'gnobody move or I'll shoot ya'
[01:14.88] Man you're expiring
[01:15.49] Catch 25 and he does it like a man
[01:17.33] He sides with black
[01:18.08] White pride and mexican
[01:18.86] Survive the best he can
[01:19.83] Strap a shank to his thigh
[01:20.87] Why do we all collide
[01:21.84] Why do the young die
[01:23.12] Extortion murder and burglary
[01:23.87] Tattoos his chest
[01:24.77] Says his enemies don't deserve to breathe
[01:30.01] Tribal war
[01:30.71]
[01:33.30] We nuh want no more a dat
[01:35.92] Everyone deserve to earn
[01:36.98] And every child deserve to learn lord
[01:38.93]
[01:39.46] Tribal war
[01:40.09]
[01:43.62] A nuh dat we a defend
[01:45.41] Each and every man deserve a turn
[01:46.85] Like a flame deserve to burn
[01:48.52]
[01:49.16] I drink poison
[01:49.83]
[01:50.45] Then I vomit diamonds
[01:51.50] I gave you mandela black dalai lamas
[01:53.38] I gave you music
[01:54.61] You enthused in my kindness
[01:56.61] So how dare you reduce me to donny imus
[01:59.14] Timeless in case we never been acquainted
[02:01.40] Flyness who made it
[02:02.77] It gets duplicated
[02:03.47] Mindless violence
[02:04.23] Well let me try to paint it
[02:06.53] Here's the 5 steps
[02:07.67] In hopes to explain it
[02:08.95] One
[02:09.54] Its me and my nation against the world
[02:11.28] Two
[02:11.84] Then me and my clan against the nation
[02:13.67] Three

[02:21.27] Five
[02:21.72] Now who's left in this deadly equation
[02:23.66] That's right it's me against my brother
[02:26.22] Then we point a kalashnikov
[02:27.84] And kill one another
