Hey Brother, hey, oh brother ...
Why are you lootin´ your sister?
All she wants is a little breadfruit from my yard
Why are you boasting I´ll never know
You´re spreading you sorrow wherever you go

I wanna know why
The road to wisdom is always marked by blood yea
Shedding your life from within
And so you think you are a warrior?
Go on and fight your illusion battle until the end
This is what I say to you my friend

Why are you running away from your heart I say?
Lord never feel no way
If you´re straight from yard
Why are you running away from your heart I say?
Lord never feel no way
Even if you´re straight from yard

Oh brother no, no brother
Why are you filled with such violence?
Don´t you know it´s pure disobediance?

And inside your soul is only hatred
You don´t care how much it takes
For your soul to be fed
And so you say we need more fire
The fire getting too one day you´ll get burned
And now you think you are a rastaman?
Well I guess you´ve never heard
Selassie´s speach to the nations
Oh God creation Yea
