Confrontation Lyrics - Welcome To Jamrock - Damian "junior Gong" Marley

Mr. president, distinguished delegates, 

Since the beginning of modern civilization 

Generations have witnessed and inherited the only conflicts of world wars 

But behold the marriage supper of the lamb and the bridegroom onto his bride 

Then shall the earth's children know the true expression of one love 

Then mother earth shall honeymoon in peace. 

Forever eliminating the aspirations, lust and anguish of wars and rumors of wars, Selah! 

See it deh know the innocent going up in vapors 

And propaganda spreading inna the Sunday papers 

not even superman coulda save you with him cape cause 

Red-a judgement a blaze, blaze ya 

And Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorse 

And gi dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razors 

And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed 'cause 

Inna dem churches tryin' to save, saviors 

Can we do it? we can do it, we shall do it! 

Boom! Tell dem fe uh draw mi out when the world government inna falling out 

Only few men survive crawling out 

Run left him colleagues dem sprawling out, nearly dead! 

Medic haffi haul him out 

And give him two tranquilizer fi stall him out, deh pon base! 

Can't get no calling out when him hear from the shout last week 

Him mistress find a new shoes 

Wife can't get no news and lately she starting to doubt, she still searching! 

And the youth dem bawling out 

Working hard not to let it all come out 

Well it's not safe to go walk about 

A slaughterhouse from Baghdad to water house 

She start to arouse sometime she want a spouse 

She start go out, start beat a darker stout, guns come out! 

Working people funds run out 

Keep a show last week and no one come out, bombs come out! 

Mi gas tank just run out, bombo clatt! 

The scotch tape just run out, weed run out! 

Yuh senses must dumb out, mi have a pound round a back deh a gwan sun out 

Nah come out! 'Til the chalice bun out, 

Nah come out! 'Til the malice bun out, a war! 

Zimbabwe to berlin wall 

Blazin' like a burnin' ball, loose ball, dat no work, in war 

Sleeping, dat no work..in war 

Can't wear jheri curl, in war 

No diamond and pearl, in war 

Can't drink weh a serve, in bar 

Gas wi fuck up yuh nerves, in war 

Shot wi blood up yuh shirt, in war 

Can't go lift up no skirt, in war 

Now disease and germs, in war 

Can't go release your sperms, in war 

Stamina must preserve, in war 

Fire constantly burn, in war 

Red, it red, it red, it red, it red! 

If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it, then you will die. 

You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles, you race of good for nothings 

If you cannot do what other men have done 

What other nations have done, what other races have done 

Then you yourself shall die. 

See it deh know the innocent going up in vapors 

And propaganda spreading inna the Sunday papers 

not even superman coulda save you with him cape cause 

Red-a judgement a blaze, blaze ya 

And Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorse 

And gi dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razors 

And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed 'cause 

Inna dem churches tryin' to save, saviors 

Hey, now wi fore parents sacrifice enough 

Dem blood sweat and tears run like syrup 

Any day a revolution might erupt, and the sky's over Kingston lighting up 

For the new generation rising up, of youths now a days weh dem sighting up 

And through reasoning dem biding up, 

Searching for the sign and the sign is us, 

Searching for the truth all you find is us, 

Searching for the troops still behind is us, 

The almighty we recruit and we come from the root 

We build like roach building boot 

Weh just can't done, Rastafari' design me tuff 

If a the fight for freedom sign me up 

Cause you tell-lie-vision can't blind me up 

Soldiers and police dem wising up, realizing they're no more right than us 

Realizing there's no use fighting us 

Realizing their opening their eyes to see the same demoralizing life as us 

So we nah tek talk nor smiling up 

Cause the word temper tantrum boiling up, 

And who alling the shots and nah bust none 

Controlling the mind of the young, bring down 

Bear famine, no rain nah fall from London to Dadeland mall 

All the son of the virgin bawl, institute of the church in war 

Preaching and researching war 

Practice and rehearsing war 

Teaching and dem learning war 

Instigating and urging war 

Always keep alert in war 

Cause man will jump out a swerving car 

Now bees and birds in war 

And the freaks and nerds in war 

And the straight and curves in war 

Forward and reverse in war 

Red, it red, it red, it red, it red 

If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it, then you will die. 

You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles, you race of good for nothings 

If you cannot do what other men have done 

What other nations have done, what other races have done 

Then you yourself shall die.
