Ziggy Marley And The Melody Makers – We Propose lyrics

Callin', callin', callin', callin', callin'
Warnin', warnin', warnin', warnin', warnin'

Ay, we propose to live up our life
We propose to do what is right
We propose to free our people
We propose to live in Africa

Sing it

This mess, yes, we detest
Controlled by another hand
And they're [Incomprehensible], they're just puppets
Them thing's just a puppet show

We propose all people be free
We propose equality for you and me
We propose politicians know this
Yeah, we propose you-u-united

So you better, you confess to your wickedness
I said the people already know
And protest is not enough
For the blood that flows

That's why we propose, we freedom fighters
Yeah, we propose 'cause we are all nighters
We propose to lick them down
We propose to free Africa, yeah

Yes, it's very serious, not delirious
The things that we say
Now let me hear the music sound
For sure we're got to stick around

We propose to fight us [Incomprehensible]
We propose we got to stick to what we believe, yeah, yeah
We propose, let music be free
We propose we're gonna do what is right, whoa

This is not a request
We propose ghetto youth live right
We propose uptown you stop fight, stop, stop fight
We propose politicians know this, know this
We propose to free Africa, yeah

We're tired of talkin', we're tired of balkin'
We're tired of gamin', we're tired of playin'
We're tired of talkin', we're tired of balkin'
We're tired of gamin' and we're tired of playin'

We propose, that's right
We propose all night
Open your ear
Listen to the people

We propose warmongers learn, learn, learn
We propose politicians learn, learn, learn
We propose racist learn, learn, learn
We propose governmentalist learn, learn, learn

We propose, listen to the people
Listen to the people, listen to the people

We propose politicians learn, learn, learn
We propose warmongers learn, learn, learn
We propose racist learn, learn, learn
We propose communist, no one is perfect in this un-perfect world
