Survival

Survival
Artist(Band):Bob Marley
(Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!
Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
How can you be sitting there
Telling me that you care -
That you care?
When every time I look around,
The people suffer in the suffering
In everyway, in everywhere .
Say: na-na-na-na-na (na-na, na-na!):
Were the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!
I tell you what: some people got everything;
Some people got nothing;
Some people got hopes and dreams;
Some people got ways and means.
Na-na-na-na-na (na-na, na-na !):
Were the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!
Yes, were the survivors, like Daniel out of the lions den
(Black survivors) Survivors, survivors!
So I Idren, I sistren,
A-which way will we choose?
We better hurry; oh, hurry; oh, hurry; wo, now!
Cause we got no time to lose.
Some people got facts and claims;
Some people got pride and shame;
Some people got the plots and schemes;
Some people got no aim it seems!
Na-na-na-na-na, na -na, na!
Were the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!
Tell you what: were the survivors, yeah! - the Black survivors, yeah!
Were the survivors, like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
(Black survivors),
Thrown in the fire, but-a never get burn.
So I Idren, I-sistren,
The preaching and talkin is done;
Weve gotta live up, wo now, wo now! -
Cause the Fathers time has come.
Some people put the best outside;
Some people keep the best inside;
Some people cant stand up strong;
Some people wont wait for long.
(Na-na-na-na-na!) Na-na-na, na-na-na na!
Were the survivors
In this age of technological inhumanity (Black survival),
Scientific atrocity (survivors),
Atomic misphilosophy (Black survival),
Nuclear misenergy (survivors):
Its a world that forces lifelong insecurity (Black survival).
Together now:
(Na-na-na-na-na!) Na na-na na na! (Na na-na na na!)
Were the survivors, yeah!
Were the survivors!
Yes, the Black survivors!
Were the survivors:
A good man is never honoured (survivors)
in his own yountry (Black survival).
Nothing change, nothing strange (survivors).
Nothing change, nothing strange (Black survivors).
We got to survive, yall! (survivors) - /fadeout/

But to live as one equal in the eyes
