[Intro]
We don't need no tribal
Inna this ya time, yeah

[Chorus]
Tribal war can't solve the problem
Tribal war can't solve it at all
Tribal war can't solve the problem
Tribal war can't solve it at all

[Verse 1]
Just the other day I forward down a river side
Nuh fi go check Granny a scrub some clothes
As she smoke up her herb in her little chalk pipe
She said: "Chah, not even the soap nah sudd again"

[Chorus]
Tribal war can't solve the problem
Tribal war can't solve it at all
Tribal war can't solve the problem
Tribal war can't solve it at all

[Verse 2]
The other day I saw a ladies war
They were planning to march up to such house, why?
They said they're not getting any justice within the kitchen
So they plan to make a big war with their big spoon, me God!
I said ladies tell me where are you going
They said: "I'm going to stand up and fight for my rights"
[Chorus]
Tribal war can't solve the problem
Tribal war can't solve it at all
Tribal war can't solve the problem
Tribal war can't solve it at all

[Verse 3]
Another time I saw a youth man
With an M-16 just lying on his back
I said youth man tell me where are you going
He said: "I'm going to stand up and fight for my rights"
You alone?

[Chorus]
Tribal war can't solve the problem
Tribal war can't solve it at all
Tribal war can't solve the problem
Tribal war can't solve it at all

[Verse 4]
We should live in love
War can't do a thing
The arms of gun is helpless
Fathers against son
Countries against countries
What do we need, all we need is love
We don't need no war
Can't you hear me when I say?
