Burning Spear - Own Security lyrics

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 sk** 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
