Lyrics Peter Tosh – Fight Apartheid

Text:

You in a me land
Quite illegal
You’re in a me land
Dig out me gold

In a me land
Digging out me pearls
In a me land
Dig out me diamonds

We a go fight 3x
against apartheid
We got to fight 3x
against apartheid

You’re in a me land
And you build up your ‘partment
You’re in a me land
You build up you’re regimes
You’re in a me land
Only talk ’bout justice
You’re in a me land
Handing down injustice

Chorus

You’re in a me land (Precedes each line below)
You no build no school for black children
No hospital for black people
You build your prison
You build their camp

Chorus

Africa’s for black man
Remember
There certain place in Africa

Black man get no recognition

Chorus

You cross the border
You shoot off the children
Cross the border
Shoot down women
Cross the border
You take your might
Cross the border
To beat for right

Chorus

As for majority
Majority rule, yea
Who need minority
But that couldn’t rule, yea

Chorus

You break off
Break off from Britain
You’re quite illegal
Right where you are
You get your forces
From colonial powers
Taking my diamonds
Filling ballistic missiles

Chorus
