Postcode War Lyrics & Tabs by Macka B
Postcode War
guitar chords lyrics
Da da day, da da day da
Cry fi di youths
When I was a youth growing up in England
We had more unity by far
Black youths from different areas
Coulda hang around and a spar
Yes, we might have some differences
But it never really came to war
We knew who and we knew what we were fighting for
Can't overstand dis ya postcode war
Can't get mi head around di postcode war
We did our share of fighting
But we fight against di system
We fight against injustices
And we fight against racism
We fighting for our freedom
And we knew dat we would win
Nowadays dis youth he thinks his enemy looks like him
Thinks his enemies identical to him
When I say identical I don't just mean skin tone alone
Same clothes, same car, same type a girl
Same gold, same mobile phone
If you do not look like him then he might leave you alone
If you look like him den you can come into his zone
Even though you are from the same town, cha
Can't overstand dis ya postcode war
Can't get mi head around di postcode war
The youth dem nowadays have been brainwashed to hate themself
Programmed to think that life is just material and wealth
Think they're in control but are being controlled by someone else
Programmed to only care about themselves
Desensitised the feelings that are felt
Instead of things getting better
It seems like things are getting worse
The youths are getting younger who are afflicted by this curse
Me seh, too much little innocent youth
Dem just a end up being carried inna hearse
The youth dem they should not be passing first
Seems to me like things gone in reverse
Can't overstand dis ya postcode war
Can't get mi head around di postcode war
I say love to every youth inna every area
Me nuh care if you're living in a mansion
Or if you're living in a housing scheme
No areas not inferior nor superior
When I say that I'm talking about the human beings
Not the buildings nor the landscapes nor machines
Well I gotta be optimistic so I do hope and I pray
These words can be of assistance to the youths dem of today
If they only knew how great they are they'd go a different way Unite and stop the fighting's what I say
No matter where you come from it's okay
Can't overstand dis ya postcode war
Can't get mi head around di postcode war
The one you thinks your enemy, is just the same as you
He's not the one who's stopping you from getting through
If you want to know your enemy I'll tell you what to do
Look in the mirror now that enemy is you
Look inna the mirror now that enemy is you
