Bob Marley - Survival Lyrics
(ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!)Yeah, yeah, yeah!How can you be sitting thereTelling me that you care -That you care?When every time I look around,The people suffer in the sufferingIn everyway, in everywhere.Say: na-na-na-na-na (na-na, na-na!):Were the survivors, yes: the black survivors!I tell you what: some people got everything;Some people got nothing;Some people got hopes and dreams;Some people got ways and means.Na-na-na-na-na (na-na, na-na!):Were the survivors, yes: the black survivors!Yes, were the survivors, like daniel out of the lions den(black survivors) survivors, survivors!So I idren, I sistren,A-which way will we choose?We better hurry; oh, hurry; oh, hurry; wo, now!cause we got no time to lose.Some people got facts and claims;Some people got pride and shame;Some people got the plots and schemes;Some people got no aim it seems!Na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na!Were the survivors, yes: the black survivors!Tell you what: were the survivors, yeah! - the black survivors, yeah!Were the survivors, like shadrach, meshach and abednego(black survivors),Thrown in the fire, but-a never get burn.So I idren, i-sistren,The preaching and talkin is done;Weve gotta live up, wo now, wo now! -cause the fathers time has come.Some people put the best outside;Some people keep the best inside;Some people cant stand up strong;Some people wont wait for long.(na-na-na-na-na!) na-na-na, na-na-na na!Were the survivorsIn this age of technological inhumanity (black survival),Scientific atrocity (survivors),Atomic misphilosophy (black survival),Nuclear misenergy (survivors):Its a world that forces lifelong insecurity (black survival).Together now:(na-na-na-na-na!) na na-na na na! (na na-na na na!)Were the survivors, yeah!Were the survivors!Yes, the black survivors!Were the survivors:A good man is never honoured (survivors)In his own yountry (black survival).Nothing change, nothing strange (survivors).Nothing change, nothing strange (black survivors).We got to survive, yall! (survivors) - /fadeout/[*sleeve notes:But to live as one equal in the eyesOf the almighty.]
