Jamaica Statement: Peter Tosh 75

Everyone is crying out for peace, yes

None is crying out for justice

Everyone is crying out for peace, yes

None is crying out for justice

I don't want no peace

I need equal rights... and justice

I need equal rights... and justice

I need equal rights... and justice

Got to get it

Equal rights... and justice

Everybody want to go to heaven

But nobody want to die (father us, Jesus!)

Everybody want to go up to heaven

But none of them, none of them want to die

I don't want no peace

I-man need equal rights... and justice

I've got to get it, equal rights... and justice

I really need it, equal rights... and justice

Just give me my share

Equal rights... and justice

What is due to Caesar

You better give it on to Caesar

And what belong to I and I

You better, you better give it up to I

'Cause I don't want no peace

I need equal rights... and justice

I need equal rights... and justice

I've got to get it

Equal rights... and justice

I'm a-fighting for it

Equal rights... and justice

Everyone heading for the top

But tell me, how far is it from the bottom?

Nobody know, but everybody fighting to reach the top

How far is it from the bottom?

I don't want no peace

I want equal rights... and justice

I need equal rights... and justice

I've got to get it

Equal rights... and justice

I really need it

Equal rights... and justice

Everyone is talking about crime

Tell me, who are the criminals?

I said, everybody is talking about crime, crime

Tell me who, who are the criminals?

I really don't see them

I don't want no peace

I need equal rights... and justice

We've got to get equal rights... and justice

And there'll be no crime

Equal rights... and justice

There'll be no criminals

Equal rights... and justice

Everyone is fighting for equal rights... and justice

Palestine is fighting for equal rights... and justice

Down in Angola

Equal rights... and justice

Down in Botswana

Equal rights... and justice

Down in Zimbabwe

Equal rights... and justice

Down in Rhodesia

Equal rights... and justice

Right here in Jamaica

Yeah, I just covered him in March, but I promised I'd do it again so here I am with it.

Part of this, remixed and with new music added to it, was issued back a ways, but this is the raw -- and, save for the drum fill between Rastafari Is and I'm the Toughest lost in the tape flip, complete -- sunrise performance of the man and his homecoming after a protracted absence from Jamaica.

I'll be back tomorrow with more, but you know what kinda Irie is waiting behind that link above, so get clicking and avoid all bumbaclaats.--J.
