My take on the lyrics: Well it wasn't too long ago I could walk the streets toe to toe But for political reasons my hands are tied down The worries go strong in my own town I watch you on TV talk the talk But when the war is on will you walk? How can you make that decision for the people? OH NO! You sit back on your chair, let us fight for your cause You're never gonna stand for the people of your fort I said Iiiiiiiii , I know Iiiiii The war is on cause the things you said Politician where is the roof for my head? The world wants some peace but you want us all dead Two notches on your belt and the glory for your head We fight for the reasons to be free Superior authority The scripts of the almighty are true Soon Rasta will take me from you You see this home is my castle, this tree is my land But to me its a hope grab a rope lend me hand For you yeeeah, I said you yeeeeahh The war is on cause the things you said Politician where is the roof for my head? The world wants some peace but you want us all dead Two notches on your belt and the glory to your head Rasta mon, we play de drum We dropping rhymes, King Selassie till da kingdom come We can't stop it, (trippin the micas????) are comin to stay I'm on my way with the forces of my brethren, I say You there mon, what when you gone? We gonna party through the night for the death of his day The greed of a mind makes a man have the say Decisions of your life turns the world into shape Baby Iiiiiiii yeah yeah yeah Got to be (be be be be be be) Baby Iiiiiiii yeah yeah yeah Yeaaahhh (x2) The war is on cause the things you said Politician where is the roof for my head? The world wants some peace but you want us all dead Two notches on your belt and the glory for your head

My take on the lyrics:
Well it wasn't too long ago
I could walk the streets toe to toe
But for political reasons my hands are tied down
The worries go strong in my own town
I watch you on TV talk the talk
But when the war is on will you walk?
How can you make that decision for the people? OH NO!
You sit back on your chair, let us fight for your cause
You're never gonna stand for the people of your fort
I said Iiiiiiiii , I know Iiiiii
The war is on cause the things you said
Politician where is the roof for my head?
The world wants some peace but you want us all dead
Two notches on your belt and the glory for your head
We fight for the reasons to be free
Superior authority
The scripts of the almighty are true
Soon Rasta will take me from you
You see this home is my castle, this tree is my land
But to me its a hope grab a rope lend me hand
For you yeeeah, I said you yeeeeahh
The war is on cause the things you said
Politician where is the roof for my head?
The world wants some peace but you want us all dead
Two notches on your belt and the glory to your head
Rasta mon, we play de drum
We dropping rhymes, King Selassie till da kingdom come
We can't stop it, (trippin the micas????) are comin to stay
I'm on my way with the forces of my brethren, I say
You there mon, what when you gone?
We gonna party through the night for the death of his day
The greed of a mind makes a man have the say
Decisions of your life turns the world into shape
Baby Iiiiiiii yeah yeah yeah
Got to be (be be be be be be)
Baby Iiiiiiii yeah yeah yeah
Yeaaahhh
(x2)
The war is on cause the things you said
Politician where is the roof for my head?
The world wants some peace but you want us all dead
Two notches on your belt and the glory for your head
