A know one a we, a know two a we

Touch one a we, then you haffi✦ touch the whole a we (Mr. Levy!)✦
Inna✦ dis ya family✦ AYY! (Bussa-Bus!)
[Busta Rhymes]
Lemme talk to the people...
See I promise if you violate✦ we coming✦ just to lock off
The barricades of the borough,✦ get your hand chopped off
And probably peel your top off
And pop off the ratchet right in the middle of silence✦
We don't advocate✦ no violence✦
But if you're tryna✦ to cross that unforgiving territory once son
And touch my family✦ I will be abducting your loved✦ ones✦
Like we in the club come, we love to hear the people shout (AHH-WOO!)✦
It's nothing to tear it down but I'd rather✦ take the peaceful✦ route
Now done with the war, we woulda✦ love it if people screamin it out
You ain't talking about✦ living✦ right, then tell me what are you speaking about✦
Rhyming and refocused watch the look up on your face-na-na-NA!✦
And spread a little love, whole heap-a✦ people inna✦ di place-na-na-NA!✦
See everytime we step in the function✦ we do it proper✦
It's Busta✦ Rhymes✦ and Barrington✦ Levy,✦ you better✦ call the doctor✦
We keep it cool but don't forget,✦ you don't wanna✦ spar with us
We're very✦ peaceful✦ but relentless, you don't really✦ want no war with us!
{Obama}✦
"It's been a long time coming,✦ but tonight
Because of what we did on this day, in this election✦
At this defining moment,✦ change has come to America..."✦
[Levy]
A know one a we, a know two a we
A know three a we, inna✦ dis ya family✦ AYY!
Touch one a we, then you haffi✦ touch the whole a we
Inna✦ dis ya family✦ AYY!
[Kardinal Offishall]
Some man dem come fi buss dem gun, shoot dem Glock
But Kardinal come fi bun bad mind, erase✦ that talk
The time is now to recognize what's in the street, what's on the turf
My whole family,✦ told me that I'm king of the Earth
But you earn your royalty, you can't steal or lie for it
If it ain't about✦ my fam I ain't ready✦ to die for it
Money's✦ just a likkle ting, buss for your rights
Police✦ BUSS into✦ my mom's house in the middle of the night
Told me put my hands to the sky, beg for your life
I told em shoot if you want but leave the kids and the wife
As I looked✦ to the floor I saw the nine within reach
But if I do what I'm thinking then who's left to teach?
My people, my community,✦ there's✦ no immunity✦
War's spreading like the plague, discouraging unity✦
So I pray through the skylight for Jah Jah to bless
We under✦ stress, but intelligence✦ and "One Love" is how we progress
Yesssss!
{Obama}✦
"Americans have sent a message to the world
That we have never✦ been just a collection✦ of individuals
Or a collection✦ of red states✦ and blue states;✦
We are, and always✦ will be, the United✦ States✦ of America..."✦
[Levy]
A know one a we, a know two a we
A know three a we, inna✦ dis ya family✦ AYY!
Touch one a we, then you haffi✦ touch the whole a we
Inna✦ dis ya family✦ AYY!
Cause We don't make, we don't make war
If you deal with war, backwards stay far
If you deal with truth and rights come some more into✦ my sight
Whether✦ you're black or whether✦ you're white
See all I'm tryna✦ do is get on with my life
The children are the future,✦ so give them a try...
Whoooooaaaa-aaa!!
