(Tribal war--we not want no more) Everyone deserve to earn and every child deserve to learn (Tribal war--none of that) Every man deserve a turn like a flame deserve to burn (Tribal war--we not want no more) Each and everyone deserve to earn and every child deserve to learn (Tribal war--none of that) 'Cause every man deserve a turn like Babylon deserved to burn Man, what happened to us? Geographically they moved us From Africa--we was once happiness pursuers Now we back stabbing, combative, and abusive The African and Arab go at it--they most Muslim We should be moving in unison; disputes should end Bounty hunters in Grape Street get cool again Substandard housing got the young running rampant Wilding for a phantom he can style in Mask on his face, grabbing his Ruger Said, "nobody move, I'll shoot ya"; man, you're expiring Catch twenty-five and he doesn't like the man inside 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; it says his enemies don't deserve to breathe (Tribal war--we not want no more) Everyone deserve to earn and every child deserve to learn (Tribal war--none of that) 'Cause every man deserve a turn like Babylon deserved 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 ain't never been acquainted Flyness--we made it; it gets duplicated Mindless violence--well, let me try to paint it Here's the five steps in hopes to explain it One: it's me and my nation against the world Two: and me and my clan against the nation Three: and me and my fam' against the clan Four: then me and my brother with no hesitation 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 not want no more) Everyone deserve to earn and every child deserve to learn (Tribal war--none of that) Every man deserve a turn like Babylon deserve to burn Honor 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 socas Over jungle, over rema, over okas Over Brooklyn, over Queens, and over Rutgers Over red and over blue and over chuckers Over red and over blue and undercovers Tribal trouble, the drive-bys double 'Cause the youth them not go war and go fight with knuckle The two sides scuffle Vietnam not go a war with no more kung-fu nunchacku Missile and shuttle And the queen of England and Uncle Sam them flex them muscle The tribal hustle, blood diamond puddle, survival struggle (Tribal war--we not want no more) Everyone deserve to earn, every child deserve to learn (Tribal war--none of that) Each and everyone deserve a turn like a flame deserve to burn (Tribal war--we not want no more) Everyone deserve to earn and every child deserve to learn (Tribal war--none of that) 'Cause every man deserve a turn like Babylon deserved to burn
