Confrontation

Mr. President, Distinguished delegates...

[H.I.M. Haile Selassie I dialect]

Translation of dialect:

''The security of the worldThose who disturb (terrorise) the peace at this timeWe are going to describe them now''

[Bunny Wailer dialogue]Since the beginning of modern civilizationGenerations have witnessed and inherited the only conflicts of world warsBut behold the marriage supper of the lamb and the bridegroom onto his brideThen shall the earth's children know the true expression of ONE LOVEThen mother earth shall honeymoon in peaceForever eliminating the aspirations, lust and anguish of wars and rumors of wars...SELAH![Verse 1]See it deh know the innocent going up in vaporsAnd propoganda spreading inna the sunday papersNot even superman coulda save you with him cape causeRed-a Judgement a blaze, blaze yaAnd Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorseAnd gi dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razorsAnd now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed causeInna dem churches tryin to save...saviours

[Marcus Garvey dialogue 1]Can we do it? We can do it, we shall do it!

[Verse 2]Boom!Tell dem fe uh draw mi out when the world government inna falling outOnly few men survive crawling outRun left him collegues dem sprawling outNEARLY DEAD!Medic haffi haul him outAnd give him two tranquilizer fi stall him outDEH PON BASE!Can't get no calling out when him hear from the shout last weekHim mistress find a new shoesWife can't get no news and lately she starting to doubtSHE STILL SEARCHING!And the youth dem bawling outWorking hard not to let it all come outWell it's not safe to go walk aboutA slaughterhouse from Bagdad to WaterhouseShe start to arouse sometime she want a spouseShe start go out, start beat a darker stoutGUNS COME OUT!Working people funds run outKeep a show last week and no one come outBOMBS COME OUT!Mi gas tank just run outBOMBO CLATT!The scotch tape just run outWEED RUN OUT!Yuh senses must dumb out, Mi have a pound round a back deh a gwan sun outNAH COME OUT!Till the chalice bun outNAH COME OUT!Till the malice bun out, A WAR!

[Marcus Garvey dialogue 2]If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it...then you will dieYou race of cowards, you race of imbosiles, you race of good for nothingsIf you cannot do what other men have doneWhat other nations have done, what other races have doneThen you yourself shall die

[Repeat Verse 1]

[Verse 3]SEE IT DEH NOW...Hey!Now wi fore parents sacrifice enoughDem blood sweat and tears run like syrupAny day a revolution might erupt, and the skys over Kingston lighting upFor the new generation rising up, of youths now a days weh dem sighting upAnd through reasoning dem biding upSearching for the sign and the sign is usSearching for the truth all you find is usSearching for the troops still behind is usThe almighty we recruit and we come from the rootWe build like roach building bootWeh just can't done, Rastafari design me tuffIf a the fight for freedom sign me upCause you Tell-Lie-Vision can't blind me upSoldiers and police dem wising up, realizing they're no more right than usRealizing there's no use fighting usRealizing their opening their eyes to see the same demoralizing life as usSo we nah tek talk nor smiling upCause the word temper tantrum boiling up,and who...Calling the shots and nah bust noneControlling the mind of the young, bring down...

Bear famine, no rain nah fall from London to Dadeland mallAll the son of the virgin bawl, institute of the church IN WARPreaching and researching WARPractice and rehearsing WARTeaching and dem learning WARInstigating and urging WARAlways keep alert in WARCause man will jump out a swerving carNow bees and birds IN WARAnd the freaks and nerds IN WARAnd the straight and curves IN WARForward and reverse IN WARRED...IT RED...IT RED...IT RED...IT RED
