"No Justice No Peace" lyrics
The law is back to front, yeah!
Up side down, yeah ah!
What do we want justice
What do we need justice
What do we want justice
What do we need justice stiddly bop
No justice no peace
Retaliation won't cease
No justice no peace
Retaliation won't cease
For the whole world was a witness
We saw it on TV
Four officers they got acquitted
For beating of Rodney King
As my friend Macka B would say
It wasn't right in any kind of way
That Mike Tyson got six long years
For a rape that was not proven
Take the case of Kennedy
Pardoned and got away Scott free
O black people why don't you see
Their democraty has spoken
No justice no peace
Retaliation won't cease
No justice no peace
Retaliation won't cease
No not today
No no way
No not today
No no way
Give me a riot me can't keep quiet
Mek we loot set the place pon fire
Too much abuse sey me sick and me tired
Hang the jury dem a blasted liar
A blackman's incarcerarion
Cause of white supremacy
Let's break down the walls of oppression
Their lies and hypocrisy woe
Don't forget old Howard Beach
Hatred pracised what it preached
Michael Griffiths lay dead on the streets
By a mob of white extremists
Yusef Hawkins was gunned down
In a little red nack part of town
We won't take that sitting down
Cause that's a sign of weakness
No justice no peace
Retaliation won't cease
No justice no peace
Retaliation won't cease
No not today
No no way
No not today
No no way
Give me a riot me can't keep quiet
Mek we loot set the place pon fire
Too much abuse sey me sick and me tired
Hang the jury dem a blasted liar
Woe na an woe na na woe na na
Not funny
I'm in a fury
Kangaroo court and the judge a monkey
I smell a rat and it skunky funky
If you a sly fox then it's your party
No justice no peace
Retaliation won't cease
No justice no peace
Retaliation won't cease
The law is back to the front, yeah
Upside down
Inside out in Babylon
Chant dem down chant dem down, yeah, chant dem down
It no funny I'm in a fury
It's my duty string to up the jury
Not satisfied with your tricks and lies
Not satisfied with the system
No justice no justice
No justice no peace
No justice no justice
No justice no peace
Up side down, yeah ah!
What do we want justice
What do we need justice
What do we want justice
What do we need justice stiddly bop
No justice no peace
Retaliation won't cease
No justice no peace
Retaliation won't cease
For the whole world was a witness
We saw it on TV
Four officers they got acquitted
For beating of Rodney King
As my friend Macka B would say
It wasn't right in any kind of way
That Mike Tyson got six long years
For a rape that was not proven
Take the case of Kennedy
Pardoned and got away Scott free
O black people why don't you see
Their democraty has spoken
No justice no peace
Retaliation won't cease
No justice no peace
Retaliation won't cease
