Sizzla
Take a Stand
[Chorus]
The war and sufferation
Injustice and mis-education
The crime and the violence
Are destroying this nation
No ooooh
I gotta make a stand
I gotta take a stand
And stop all this violence, this fuss going on

[Verse 1]
Those who the people have put up front
As governments, should see that things run
But they got no morality they just wanna ponce
They full the place with drugs and guns
Oh mothers oh please
In this time your strength is what we need
The vigour and the zeal
The wisdom and knowledge
To overcome all these downpressors' disease
Only if our children could see that there’s much better out there for real
They wouldn't act like what they doing now
They wouldn't kill nor steal

[Chorus]
But the war and sufferation
Injustice and mis-education
The crime and the violence
Are destroying this beautiful nation
No ooooh
I gotta make a stand
I gotta take a stand
And stop all this violence, this fuss going on, yeah
[Verse 2]
Great Foundation brings down mountains
Because I just can’t live among the wickedness
It's only theirself they're hurting
Jah provide (Most High Jah)
I know the Most High surely guide
Jah live and never die
I shall see Israel's redemption wit' my eyes
Jah provide
I know Jah surely guide
Jah live and never die
I shall see Israel's redemption wit' my eyes

[Chorus]
War and sufferation
Injustice and mis-education
The crime and the violence
Are destroying your nation
No ooooh
You gotta take a stand
You got to make a stand
And stop all this war what's going on, yeah
Gotta make a stand
You got to take a stand
Stop all this foolishness what’s going on
