Brothers Keeper (feat Ziggy Marley)
guitar chords lyrics
From the slave-ship to the chain, from the task masters whip to my brain.
Kidnapped and slaved, 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 said. 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 Marley)
We should be burnin' and looting, believe me.
Start exchange 41 fi 90, Our ancestors wey build this country.
Under sticks and whips and kicks and punches.
Meanwhile you're living like some Brady Bunches.
Tell me where the justice, much less the thanks is.
Mi word much more than????
Meanwhile you're living like some Brady Bunches.
Tell me where the justice, much less the thanks is.
Mi word much more than????
(Yami Bolo)
Lord, Rapings, Torture Kill and Maim. There injustice remains the same.
Killing the people in the Queens name. No one never gets the blame.
And my people keep going down the drain.
All these crime that done to we, will be written in black history.
Crimes of injustice and humanity, Perpetrated by society.
And my people are living in poverty.
(Bunny Wailer)
My struggle for survival, is to excepted and treated as a member of the human family.
Who's practice should reveal the fundamental right and duty to be humain in all judgement and action to all humanity.
So why don't you care about me.
(Ziggy Marley)
Say, I know you don't care about me. I'm just a nigger walking down your 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 said, but your action 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 where others, who suffered for what they didn't do.
We're living in a system, we are the victim and that is so true.
Amadou Diallo, Reggae music know your name.
Amadou Diallo, Amadou Diallo, Amadou Diallo. Reggae music knows your name.
(Ziggy Marley)
Code of silence you said, 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.
Yo Ziggy, check this out.
It's kinda strange how the same things been happening.
Over and over again. Over and over again.
And they said the constitutions for the benefit of all.
It's all a lie, yeah, It's all a lie, yeah.
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.
Your to blame for all that's being this way.
Yes, we know you don't care about we
Yes, we know you don't care about we
Yes, we know you don't care about we
Yes, we know, yeah. Yes we know.
(Ziggy Marley)
Now I now you don't care about me, I'm just a nigger walking down your street.
The brother did nothing wrong, but now his life is gone, and I know you don't care about me.
(Malcom X)
We wanted to talk right down to 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.
