[Intro]
Everywhere I go in this world
I have neighbor, I have idren
I have bredren, I even have sistren
[Chorus]
English man are mi idren, Canadian man are mi brethren
American man, dem are mi idren (An' di daughter are mi sistren)
Jamaican man are mi neighbor (An' di daughter are mi sistren)
African man are mi idren (An' di daughter are mi sistren)
[Refrain]
So, you cyaan come rush me no badness
For, mi no deal with it
You cyaan come rush me no big gun
For, mi no deal with it
[Verse 1]
Look into yourself
We are one bredren (Yes)
And I know, I know you know, what is goin' on
[Chorus]
English man are mi idren, Canadian man, mi brethren
American man, dem are mi idren (An' di daughter are mi sistren)
Jamaican men; dem are mi neighbor-man
[Verse 2]
The youth man climb on a happy tree
The little youth climb on a wobble tree
But the big man climb on his sistren
Just to put on his wedding ring
So, you cyaan, you can't come rush me no badness, man
[Refrain]
Cyaan come rush me no big gun
For, mi no deal with it
Cyaan come rush me no big gun
For, mi no deal with it
[Verse 3]
Jah is my light and my salvation
Then why you must come rush me?
Cyaan come rush me with no big gun
For, mi no deal with it
English men, English men, dem are mi brethren
[Chorus]
American man dem are mi brethren (An' di daughter are mi sistren)
Jamaican man, dem are mi neighbor (Greetings to Africa)
[Verse 4]
The youth man climb on the happy tree
The little youth climb on the wobble tree
But the big man climb on his sistren
Because he livin' in this neighborhood
[Outro]
