Bob Marley Zimbabwe Lyrics

Every man got a right to decide his own destiny
And in this judgment there is no partiality
So arm in arms, with arms, we'll fight this little struggle
'Cause that's the only way we can, overcome our little trouble

Brother, you're right, you're right
You're right, you're right, you're so right!
We gon' fight (we gon' fight), we'll have to fight (we gon' fight)
We gonna fight (we gon' fight), fight for our rights!

Natty Dread it in-a (Zimbabwe)!
Set it up in (Zimbabwe)!
Mash it up-a in-a Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)!
Africans a-liberate (Zimbabwe), yeah

No more internal power struggle
We come together to overcome the little trouble
Soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionary
'Cause I don't want my people to be contrary

And, brother, you're right, you're right
You're right, you're right, you're so right
We'll have to fight (we gon' fight), we gonna fight (we gon' fight)
We'll have to fight (we gon' fight), fighting for our rights

Mash it up in-a (Zimbabwe)
Natty trash it in-a (Zimbabwe)
Africans a-liberate Zimbabwe! (Zimbabwe)
I and I a-liberate Zimbabwe

(Brother, you're right,) you're right
You're right, you're right, you're so right
We gon' fight (we gon' fight), we'll have to fight (we gon' fight)
We gonna fight (we gon' fight), fighting for our rights

To divide and rule could only tear us apart
In every man chest, there beats a heart
So soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionaries
And I don't want my people to be tricked by mercenaries

Brother, you're right, you're right
You're right, you're right, you're so right
We'll have to fight (we gon' fight), we gonna fight (we gon' fight)
We'll have to fight (we gon' fight), fighting for our rights!

Natty trash it in-a Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
Mash it up in-a Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
Set it up in-a Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
Africans a-liberate Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
Africans a-liberate Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
Natty dub it in-a Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
Set it up in-a Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
Africans a-liberate Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
Every man got a right to decide his own destiny
