Peter Tosh - Fight Apartheid

You in a me land - quite illegal.
You're in a me land - a dig out me gold.
In a me land - digging out my diamonds.
In a me land - digging out me uranium.

Now we gonna fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
My brothers gonna fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.

You're in a me land - you no build no school for my children.
You're in a me land - no hospital for my people.
You're in a me land - all you build is prison, prison, prison.
You're in a me land - set up your army, camp, camp, camp.


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 - financing your ballistic missiles.

Now we gonna fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
My brothers gonna fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.

(..)
Come outta mi land.
Come outta mi land.
Come outta mi land.

Now we gonna fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
My brothers gonna fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.

Come outta mi land - you're illegal.
Come outta mi land - you're victimization.
Come outta mi land - robbing all of my resources.
Come outta mi land - I say you're in there too long now, now.

We gonna fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
My brothers gonna fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.

Come outta mi land - you know that you wrong, boy.
Come outta mi land - everything you do upside down.
Come outta mi land - you buried down yourself, too deep.
Come outta mi land - I say, you're inna my momma's land, too long.
