[Verse 1 - Nas]
13
Man what happened to us?
14
Geographically they moved us
15
From africa
16
We was once happiness pursuers
17
Now we back stabbing, combative and abusive
18
The african and arab go at it they most muslim
19
Used to be moving in unison
20
Disputes would end
21
Bounty hunters and grape street get cool again
22
Some standard housing
23
Got the young running rampant
24
Wilding, for a phantom
25
He can style in
26
Mask on his face
27
Grabbing his luger
28
Saying, 'gnobody move or I'll shoot ya'
29
Man you're expiring
30
Catch 25 and he does it like a man
31
He sides with black,
32
White pride and mexican
33
Survive the best he can
34
Strap a shank to his thigh
35
Why do we all collide?
36
Why do the young die?
37
Extortion, murder and burglary
38
Tattoos his chest
39
Says his enemies don't deserve to breathe
40
[Chorus 2 - Jr. Gong x2]
41
Tribal war
42
We nuh want no more a dat
43
Everyone deserve to earn
44
And every child deserve to learn, lord
45
Tribal war
46
A nuh dat we a defend
47
Each and every man deserve a turn
48
Like a flame deserve to burn
49
[Verse 2 - K'Naan]
50
I drink poison
51
Then I vomit diamonds
52
I gave you mandela, black dalai lamas
53
I gave you music
54
You enthused in my kindness
55
So how dare you reduce me to donny imus
56
Timeless in case we never been acquainted
57
Flyness who made it
58
It gets duplicated
59
Mindless violence
60
Well let me try to paint it
61
Here's the 5 steps
62
In hopes to explain it
63
One!
64
Its me and my nation against the world
65
Two!
66
Then me and my clan against the nation
67
Three!
68
Then me and my fam' against the clan
69
Four!
70
Then me and my brother we no hesitation
71
Uh!
72
Go against the fam' until they cave in
73
Five!
74
Now who's left in this deadly equation?
75
That's right, it's me against my brother
76
Then we point a kalashnikov
77
And kill one another
78
[Chorus 3 - Jr. Gong x2]
79
Tribal war
80
We nuh want no more a dat
81
Everyone deserve to earn

And every child deserve to learn

85
Every man deserve a turn
86
Like a flame deserve to burn
87
[Verse 3 - Jr. Gong]
88
Man a war tribal
89
Over colors
90
Over money, over land, and over oil, and over god
91
And over idols, and even lovers
92
Over breakfast, over dinner, over suppers
93
Over jungle, over rema, over buckers
94
Over brooklyn, over queens, and over rutgers
95
Over red, and over blue, and over chuckers
96
Over red and over blue and under covers
97
Tribal trouble
98
The drive by s double
99
Cause the youth dem nah go war
100
And go fight with knuckle
101
The two sides scuffle
102
Vietnam nah go a war
103
With no more kung fu nun chuckle
104
Missile and shuttle
105
Huh
106
And the queen of england and uncle sam
107
Dem a flex dem muscle
108
The tribal hustle
109
Blood diamond poodle
110
Survival struggle
111
[Chorus 4 - Jr. Gong x2]
