Tribal war
We nuh want no more a that
Every man deserve to earn
And every child deserve to learn, now

Tribal war
nuh that we a defend
Every man deserve a turn
Like a flame deserve to burn

Tribal war
We nuh want no more a that
Each and every one deserve to earn
And every child deserve to learn

Tribal war
nuh that we a defend
'Cause every man deserve a turn
Like Babylon deserve to burn

Man, what happened to us?
Geographically they moved us from Africa
We was once happiness pursuers
Now we back [bad word] and abusive

The African and Arab go at it they most Muslim
Used to be moving in unison, disputes would end
Bounty hunters and Grape Street get cool again

Some standard housing, got the [bad word] rampant
Wilding for a Phantom, he can style in
Mask on his face, grabbing his Luger
Saying, "Nobody move or I'll shoot ya" Man, you're expiring

Catch 25 and he does it like a man
He sides with black, white pride and Mexican
Survive the best he can, strap a shank to his thigh

Why do we all collide? Why do the young die?
Extortion, murder and burglary, tattoos his chest
Says his enemies don't deserve to breathe

Tribal war
We nuh want no more a that
Everyone deserve to earn
And every child deserve to learn, Lord

Tribal war
nuh that we a defend
'Cause every man deserve a turn
Like Babylon deserve to burn

I drink poison then I vomit diamonds
I gave you Mandela, Black Dalai Lamas
I gave you music, you enthused in my kindness
So how dare you reduce me to Donny Imus

Timeless in case we never been acquainted
Flyness who made it, it gets duplicated
Mindless violence, well, let me try to paint it
Here's the 5 steps in hopes to explain it

One, it's me and my nation against the world
Two, then me and my clan against the nation
Three, then me and my fam' against the clan
Four, then me and my brother we no hesitation

Uh, go against the fam' until they cave in
Five, now who's left in this deadly equation?
That's right, it's me against my brother
Then we point a Kalashnikov and kill one another

Tribal war
We nuh want no more a that
Everyone deserve to earn
And every child deserve to learn

Tribal war
nuh that we a defend
'Cause every man deserve a turn
Like Babylon deserve to burn

Man a war tribal over colors
Over money, over land and over oil and over God
And over idols and even lovers
Over breakfast, over dinner, over suppers

Over jungle, over Rema, over buckers
Over Brooklyn, over queens and [bad word] Over red and over blue and over Chuckers
Over red and over blue and undercovers

Tribal trouble, the drive by's double
'Cause the youth dem nah go war
And go fight with knuckle, the two sides scuffle
Vietnam nah go a war with no more kung fu

Nunchuckle, missile and shuttle
And the Queen of England and Uncle Sam
Dem a flex dem muscle, the Tribal Hustle
Blood diamond poodle, survival [bad word] 
Tribal war
We nuh want no more a that
Everyone deserve to earn
Every child deserve to learn

Tribal war
nuh that we a defend
Each and every man deserve a turn
Like a flame deserve to burn

Tribal war
We nuh want no more a that
Every man deserve to earn
And every child deserve to learn

Tribal war
nuh that we a defend
'Cause every man deserve a turn
Like Babylon deserve to burn
