Barrington Levy, Kardinal Offishall, Busta Rhymes - No War (Obama) lyrics

"It's the answer spoken by young and old
Rich and poor black, white, Hispanic, Asian
Native American"

We don't make, we don't make war
If you deal with war, backwards stay far
We're dealing with truths and rights come
Some more into my sight
Whether you a pimpy or livin right
See all I'm tryna do is just
Get on with my life
The children are the future
So give them a try whoooooaaaa-aaa!
We have something for the people!
Busta Rhymes! (ayy) Barrington Levy!
Mi seh! We have something new ya know!

Stop the senseless killing, trample the war
Hey you people your backs against the walls
The way that we're living we're
Bound to get a fall


Why can't we get together and
Tear down the walls?

"who still wonders if the
Dream of our founders
Is alive in our time who
Still questions the power
Of our democracy, tonight is your answer"

A know one a we, a know two a we
A know three a we, inna dis ya family AYY!
Touch one a we
Then you haffi touch the whole a we
(Mr levy)
Inna dis ya family AYY! (Bussa-Bus)

Lemme talk to the people
See I promise if you violate we
Coming just to lock off
The barricades of the borough
Get your hand chopped off
And probably peel your top off
And pop off the ratchet right
In the middle of silence
We don't advocate no violence
But if you're tryna to cross
That unforgiving territory once son
And touch my family I will
Be abducting your loved ones
Like we in the club come
We love to hear the people shout (AHH WOO)
It's nothing to tear it down but
I'd rather take the peaceful route
Now done with the war
We woulda love it if people screamin it out
You ain't talking about living right
Then tell me what are you speaking about
Rhyming and refocused watch the look up
On your face na na-NA!
And spread a little love
Whole heap-a people inna di place na na-NA!
See everytime we step in the
Function we do it proper
It's Busta Rhymes and Barrington Levy
You better call the doctor
We keep it cool but don't forget
You don't wanna spar with us
We're very peaceful but relentless
You don't really want no war with us!

"It's been a long time coming, but tonight
Because of what we did on this day
In this election at this defining moment
Change has come to America"

A know one a we, a know two a we
A know three a we, inna dis ya family AYY!
Touch one a we
Then you haffi touch the whole a we
Inna dis ya family AYY!

Some man dem come fi buss dem gun
Shoot dem Glock
But Kardinal come fi bun bad mind
Erase that talk the time is now to recognize
What's in the street, what's on the turf
My whole family
Told me that I'm king of the Earth
But you earn your royalty
You can't steal or lie for it
If it ain't about my fam I
Ain't ready to die for it
Money's just a likkle ting
Buss for your rights
Police BUSS into my mom's house in
The middle of the night
Told me put my hands to the sky
Beg for your life
I told em shoot if you want but
Leave the kids and the wife
As I looked to the floor I
Saw the nine within reach
But if I do what I'm thinking
Then who's left to teach?
My people, my community, there's no immunity
War's spreading like the plague
Discouraging unity
So I pray through the skylight
For Jah Jah to bless we under stress
But intelligence and "One Love"
Is how we progress yesssss!

"Americans have sent a message to the world
That we have never been just
A collection of individuals
Or a collection of red states and blue states
We are, and always will be
The United States of America"

A know one a we, a know two a we
A know three a we, inna dis ya family AYY!
Touch one a we
Then you haffi touch the whole a we
Inna dis ya family AYY!
Cause We don't make, we don't make war
If you deal with war, backwards stay far
If you deal with truth and rights
Come some more into my sight
Whether you're black or whether you're white
See all I'm tryna do is get on with my life
The children are the future
So give them a try whoooooaaaa-aaa!
