Own Security - Burning Spear

Give us our own security in our neighborhood

Give us our own security in our neighborhood

We will understand them

And they will understand us

We will work together so

Things will be better

Ministers and mayors

What you going to do for the people

In this present two thousand

Yes young people

If you don’t know what you want to be

In life

Join up

Hold on to a skill or trade

And get some kind of recognition

If something sould go wrong

I will take no side regardless

Who is right from who is wrong

Rules and regulation

Became a part of this plan

We want discipline and respect

African Americans

African West Indians

Remember what the red black

And green stand for

The red black and green

To remember our pain

If it’s minor problem

Never see our security

If it’s minor problem

Never see our security

Ministers and mayors

Ministers and mayors

We can do it

We can do it

In our neighborhood

In our neighborhood

We will understand them

And they will understand us

We will work together so

Things will be better
