Equal Rights/Downpressor Man - Peter Tosh

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 of Jesus)

Everybody want to go to up to heaven

But none o them, none o them want to die

I don’t want no peace

I man need equal rights and justice

I 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

Everyone headed for the top

But tell me how far is it from the bottom

Nobody knows 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 got to get it

Equal rights and justice

Equal rights and justice

Everyone is talking about crime

Tell me who are the criminals?

I said everybody’s 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

Got to get equal rights and justice

And there’ll be no crime

Equal rights and justice
