I Know You Don't Care About Me Lyrics - Ziggy Marley

Bunny Wailer: 

From the slaveship to the chain 

From the task master's whip to my brain 

Kidnapped, enslaved, raped 

and killed by the lynch clan 

Again and again 

Is it the origin of the skin 

or the face of a race 

Why you don't care about me? 

Ziggy Marley: 

Now, I know you don't care about me 

I'm just a nigger walking down the street 

The brother did nothing wrong

but now his life is gone 

So, I know you don't care about me 

Code of silence you say 

Yet your actions speak so loud and clear 

Diallo's killers going free paid by society 

Now I know you don't care about me 

Damian "Junior Gong" Marley: 

Hey-we should be burning and looting, 

believe me, start exchanging 41 for 90 

Our ancestors've built this country 

and all sticks and whips and kicks and punches 

meanwhile you're living 

like some bird in bunches 

Tell me where is the justice 

much less the dances? 

My world must know that man is still in darkness

Yami Bolo: 

Rapings, torture, kill and maim. 

Their injustice remains the same 

killing the people in the Queen's name 

No one will get the blame, 

and my people keep going down the drain 

All these crimes we've come to read, 

they'll be written in black history 

Crimes of injustice and inhumanity, 

perpretated by society, and my people 

are living in poverty 

Bunny Wailer: 

My struggle for survival is to be accepted 

and treated as a member of the human family, 

whose practices should reveal the 

fundamental right and duty to be humane 

in all judgement and action to all humanity 

So, why don't you care about me? 

so i know you don't care about me 

I'm just a nigger walking down the street 

The brother did nothing wrong, 

but now his life is gone 

and I know you don't care about me 

Code of silence you say 

but your actions is so loud and clear 

Are Diallo's killers going free? 

Paid by society 

And I know you don't care about me 

Buju Banton: 

Amadou Diallo, they killed him for nuttin' 

No crime he did not do! 

And just like him there were others 

who suffered for what they didn't do 

We're living in a system, 

we are the victims and that is so true 

Amadou Diallo - Reggae music knows your name 

Amadou Diallo - Reggae music knows your name 

Code of silence you say 

yes your actions speak so loud and clear 

Diallo's killers going free? 

Paid by society 

And I know you don't care about me 

Morgan Heritage: 

Yo, Ziggy, check this out! 

It's kinda strange how the same things're happening 

over and over again, over and over again 

And they say their constitution's 

for the benefit of all 

It's all a lie again, it's all a lie again 

Tell me when will this injustice change 

Tell me when will we stop feeling pain 

Just the way we survive 

in their eyes it's a crime 

You're to blame for all that's bleeding this way 

Yes, we know you don't care about we 

Yes, we know you dont't care about we 

Yes, we know you dont't care about we 

Yes, we know, yes we know 

Now, I know you don't care about me 

I'm just a nigger walking down the street 

The brother did nothing wrong 

but now his life is gone 

So, I know you don't care about me 

Malcolm X: 

We want to talk right down the earth 

in a language that everybody here 

can easily understand. 

We all agree tonight - 

all of the speakers have agreed 

that America has a very serious problem! 

Not only does America have a very serious problem 

But our people have a very serious problem
