[Instrumental] [Intro] [Batterie agressive, basses lourdes, voix toastée] Yo, big up di crew, we a build it strong, Unite every nation, where we all belong. No more fightin', no more war we see, Just peace in the world, for you and for me! [Bruit de canettes qu’on écrase, basses qui résonnent] [Couplet 1] [Flow rapide et rythmé] Mi deh ya, mi no want no more strife, No war pon di street, respect fi every life. Broken borders? Mi want dem open wide, Mi no want no more hatred, nowhere to hide! Mi take mi hand, reach out to every friend, No need fi violence, let di hatred end. Gun inna mi hand? Mi rather hold a mic, Di world no a battlefield, we a share di light! [Effets de sound system, basses qui grondent] [Refrain] [Voix collective et puissante] No fi di war, no, no, not inna mi city! Mi build it up, mi sing it loud, do it nice and easy! Less hatred, more useful action, Every day a lil’ move, change up di fashion! [Basses qui pulsent, voix en écho] [Couplet 2] [Rythme saccadé, images vives] Mi see di pavement, it a breathe free, When we clear up di hate, it a pure energy. Mi no lef’ mi heart inna rage, Di world no a prison, respect it, mi word! Mi neighbor dem know, we a keep it tight, No anger inna di gutter, keep di place bright. Mi yute dem learn fi do it right, Build up di peace, from day to night! [Sons de verres recyclés, basses qui résonnent comme un appel à l'action] [Refrain] [Répété avec intensité] No fi di war, no, no, not inna mi city! Mi build it up, mi sing it loud, do it nice and easy! Less hatred, more useful action, Every day a lil’ move, change up di fashion! [Pont] [Toasting rageur, voix grave et rythmée] Can’t believe mi eyes, di world look a mess, But we a go heal it up, no time fi rest. Mi see di future, and it peace and bright, Raggamuffin style, we a do it right! Sound system blast, like a wake-up call, Rud-a-dub justice, we a heal up all! Hear di rhythm callin’, from di yard to di sky, Build up di peace, let di good vibes fly! [Basses qui résonnent comme un cri de révolte, sons de sound system saturés] [Refrain] [Répété avec des effets de delay et de distorsion] No fi di war, no, no, [whoa!] Not inna mi city! Mi build it up, mi sing it loud, do it nice and easy! Less hatred, more useful action, Every day a lil’ move, change up di fashion! [Outro] [Voix qui s’éteint, effets de réverbération et de fade-out] Fade to di bass, but di message still remain… Wash away di hate, wash away di pain… Raggamuffin dreams, inna di island’s embrace… Build up di peace, we a win di race! [Basses qui s’estompent, échos de voix et de canettes recyclées]
