Survival

Bob Marley & The Wailers

How can you be sitting there

Telling me that you care

That you care

When everytime I look around

The people suffer in suffering

In everywhere, In everywhere



Na-Na-Na-Na-NA

We're the survivors

Yes, the black survival



I tell you what

Some people got everything

Some people got nothing

Some people got hopes & dreams

Some people got no aim it seems



Na-Na-Na-Na-Na

We're the survivors;

Yes the black survival

Yes we're the survivors like

Daniel out of the Lion's den suvivors



So my brethren, my sisthren

Which way will we choose

We better hurry, oh hurry woe now

'Cause we got no time to lose

Some people got plots & schemes

Some people got Ways & means

Some people got the facts & claims

Some people got the pride & shame



Na-Na-Na-Na-Na

We're the suvivors;

Yes, the black survival (repeat)

We're the survivors like Shedrach,

Meshach and Abednego

Thrown in the fire but never get burn



So my brethren, my sisthren

The preaching and talking is done

We gotta live up woe now, woe now

'Cause the father's time has come

Some people put the best outside

Some people keep the best inside

Some people can't stand up strong

Some people won't wait for long



Na-Na-Na-Na-Na

We're the suvivors; a black survival

In this age of technological inhumanity

We're the survivors black survival

Scientific atrocity, we're the survivors

Atomic mis-philosophy, we're the survivors

It's a world that forces life long insecurity

All together now we're the survivors

Yes, the black suvival

A good man is never honoured

In his own country.

Black survival

Nothing change.

Nothing strange

Nothing change.

Nothing strange

We got to survive, we got to survive

But to live as one equal in the eyes

Of the almighty.
