They Tried To Stop The Nation But

I & I survive.

Why must all the people keep on shooting and robbing.

Why?

Why must must all the people keep on killing and fighting.

No, not I.

I and I will would never try.

No, not I.

I and I would never try.

And why must the rich man keep on hoarding all his money.

And why must the this poor man, my living ain’t very funny.

No, not I.

I and I would never try. No not I.

I and I would never try, try to live that way.

And what did Jah show them. I and I survive.

They tried to stop this nation. But I and I survive.

To chant down creation, I and I survive.

And once again a nation.
