Race

Is a long, long time dem a try tell we seh

mankind is divided into races

but if a race cause all this racism

then there can't be no winner

it's a damn disgrace

Chorus:

Race, race - long time they used to tell us about

Race, race - they were trying to separate us into

Race, race - but we don't need no more

Disgrace, disgrace for the human race

Long time ago they told us about black and white

Instead of them teaching the people to love and unite

Only yesterday you told us about yellow and red

Remember the judgement in this time will be dreader than dread

Chorus

Long time Rasta tell them the children of JAH have only one father

Who told them to go and change up the human genetical order

Working so hard to build up more walls, wire fence and borders

I come to this conclusion today to divide and rule can't be the right order

Chorus

ooh - I want to know

Who gave the instruction to paint a false image of I & I saviour

Destroying true faith through their deeds and their devilish behaviour

while they were the same ones led him like a lamb to the slaughter

that's why fathers are fighting their own sons and mothers are fighting their own daughters

Double Chorus

For too long they've been trying to divide humankind into races and races and races

Now is the time to put a stop to that malicious policy

we want more racial harmony

what we need is - One Love
