Rasta Courage

[Primeira Parte]

Bb                        Dm
Try and remember now just what has been done
C                           Dm
Enslavement, displacement of every nation
           Bb                   Dm
And now to one nation, everyone hold their grudge
        C                           Dm
Kind of makes me wonder 'bout which side I'm on

  Bb                        Dm
I don't defend white, and I don't defend black
 C                            Dm
I defend truth and rights and all of that
  Bb                 Dm
I work on situations where I'm at

Hold my position and never fall of track

Never trade my sanity for living in Babylon crew

Vanity will never drive this man insane
C                            Dm
This man will walk alongside Jah again

Bb                                Dm
We see all of the pressure to conform today
    C                              Dm
And I may sometimes bend, but only as not to break
Bb                             Dm
'Cause a life of iniquity for laziness' sake
      C                        Dm
Is a deal with the devil Rasta just can't make

Bb                        Dm
Looking back now upon all of the evidence
C                        Dm
400 years and what those years have really done
Bb                          Dm
We talk of peace but at the first sign of war
C                                   Dm
Brethren ain't brethren and sistren ain't sistren no more

Bb                           Dm
Without forgiveness how will any war cease
          C                     Dm
While the heathen rage rastaman sitting at ease
   Bb                              Dm
No one will move a muscle for some moral justice
         C                            Dm
And whit no justice, well, there will be no peace
