Own Security Lyrics by Burning Spear

Calling Rastafari

0

Chorus:
Give us our own security in our neighborhood
Give us our own security in our neighborhood
We will understand them
And they will understand us
We will work together so
Things will be better

Chorus

Ministers and mayors
What you going to do for the people
In this present two thousand

Yes young people
If you don't know what you want to be
In life
Join up
Hold on to a skill or trade
And get some kind of recognition

Chorus

If something sould go wrong
I will take no side regardless
Who is right from who is wrong
Rules and regulation
Became a part of this plan
We want discipline and respect

Chorus

African Americans
African West Indians
Remember what the red black
And green stand for
The red black and green
To remember our pain
If it's minor problem
Never see our security
If it's minor problem
Never see our security
Ministers and mayors
Ministers and mayors

Chorus

We can do it
We can do it
In our neighborhood
In our neighborhood

Chorus

We will understand them
And they will understand us
We will work together so
Things will be better

Chorus
