Kardinal Offishall - No War (Obama) lyrics

{*Barack Obama victory speech*} "It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American..." [Barrington Levy] We don't make, we don't make war If you deal with war, backwards stay far We're dealing with truths and rights come some more into my sight Whether you a pimpy or livin right See all I'm tryna do is just get on with my life The children are the future, so give them a try... Whoooooaaaa-aaa!! We have something for the people! Busta Rhymes! (ayy!) Barrington Levy! Mi seh! We have something new ya know! Stop the senseless k**ing, trample the war Hey you people your backs against the walls The way that we're living we're bound to get a fall Why can't we get together and tear down the walls? {Obama} "...who still wonders if the dream of our founders Is alive in our time; who still questions the power Of our democracy, tonight is your answer..." [Levy] A know one a we, a know two a we A know three a we, inna dis ya family AYY! Touch one a we, then you haffi touch the whole a we (Mr. Levy!) Inna dis ya family AYY! (Bussa-Bus!) [Busta Rhymes] Lemme talk to the people... See I promise if you violate we coming just to lock off The barricades of the borough, get your hand chopped off And probably peel your top off And pop off the ratchet right in the middle of silence We don't advocate no violence But if you're tryna to cross that unforgiving territory once son And touch my family I will be abducting your loved ones Like we in the club come, we love to hear the people shout (AHH-WOO!) It's nothing to tear it down but I'd rather take the peaceful route Now done with the war, we woulda love it if people screamin it out You ain't talking about living right, then tell me what are you speaking about Rhyming and refocused watch the look up on your face-na-na-NA! And spread a little love, whole heap-a people inna di place-na-na-NA! See everytime we step in the function we do it proper It's Busta Rhymes and Barrington Levy, you better call the doctor We keep it cool but don't forget, you don't wanna spar with us We're very peaceful but relentless, you don't really want no war with us! {Obama} "It's been a long time coming, but tonight Because of what we did on this day, in this election At this defining moment, change has come to America..." [Levy] A know one a we, a know two a we A know three a we, inna dis ya family AYY! Touch one a we, then you haffi touch the whole a we Inna dis ya family AYY! [Kardinal Offishall] Some man dem come fi buss dem gun, shoot dem Glock But Kardinal come fi bun bad mind, erase that talk The time is now to recognize what's in the street, what's on the turf My whole family, told me that I'm king of the Earth But you earn your royalty, you can't steal or lie for it If it ain't about my fam I ain't ready to die for it Money's just a likkle ting, buss for your rights Police BUSS into my mom's house in the middle of the night Told me put my hands to the sky, beg for your life I told em shoot if you want but leave the kids and the wife As I looked to the floor I saw the nine within reach But if I do what I'm thinking then who's left to teach? My people, my community, there's no immunity War's spreading like the plague, discouraging unity So I pray through the skylight for Jah Jah to bless We under stress, but intelligence and "One Love" is how we progress Yesssss! {Obama} "Americans have sent a message to the world That we have never been just a collection of individuals Or a collection of red states and blue states; We are, and always will be, the United States of America..." [Levy] A know one a we, a know two a we A know three a we, inna dis ya family AYY! Touch one a we, then you haffi touch the whole a we Inna dis ya family AYY! Cause We don't make, we don't make war If you deal with war, backwards stay far If you deal with truth and rights come some more into my sight Whether you're black or whether you're white See all I'm tryna do is get on with my life The children are the future, so give them a try... Whoooooaaaa-aaa!! *Barrington chat to fade*
