Bob Marley & Haile Selassie Speech

Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior

Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned

Until there is no longer first class and second class citizens of any nation

Until the colour of a man's skin is no more significance than the colour of his eyes

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior and another inferior

Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned

Everywhere is war, me say: War

And until there is no longer first class and second class citizens of any nation

Until the colour of a man skin

Is no more significance than the colour of his eyes

I'v got to say: War!

And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all, without regard to race

Dis a war

And until that day, the African continent
will not know peace,

We, Africans will fight. We find it necessary and we know we shall win

As we are confident in the victory

Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil

Everywhere is war, everywhere is war

We don't need no more troubles

What we need is Love

To guide and protect us on

If you hope good down from above

Help the weak if you are strong now.

We don't need no trouble

What we need is love. Oh, no!

We don't need
