Well I got this concert well them say it a peace concert, I man never love coming up cos' a peace concert....I wonder if many people know what the word mean. Its the most intellectual people in society think the word peace mean 'coming together'. Peace is a diploma you get in the cemetary, on top of your grave, that is marked; 'Here lies the body of John Strokes, Rest in Peace' seen, and I know many of you little brothers wouldn't like to hear your daughters say: 'she's gonna give away a little piece....of Bungo Clippings', you no seen? So you can imagine how defective peace is, seen. This is an integration concert, when black people can come together and forget so well, some thing, the rather destructive element, between I and I, which segregate I and I, which was a force laid down by Lucifer, seen?. But now that I know that Lucifer's hand and foot will soon be bound, seen? And I shall cast him into outer darkness and bring love and justice to black people once more.
That we long to hear a gun fire, we long to see one die, cos' learn this man, white man teach I and I say;
'I and I ha fe dead go a heaven'
Why? That them can come a Jamaica come take away the whole of the Sun, you no seen? And inherit the bloobath earth. And we gone away, heaven, gone drink milk and honey...cos' we are what? Fool(s)! They tell we say 'cow jump over moon and dish run away with bungo clippin' spoon'...Me a tell you. You a check them thing, eh? That is to mek we gaze up there...Learn this man, ...you say we game this here? Its just some games with Colmbus and Henry Martin and Francis Drake and Bartholemew Dealascassis, who was the first man to come round here with cross round him neck, fe come trick black people and say, 'well bwai right now black people is Israel. If we want to hold them, the only thing we can hold them with is tell them say, "see the cross here, and fe follow Jesus him soon come back" '.....look how bloodbath long them wait upon Jesus, eh? all now 'til bloodbath. All the War in the earth Jesus can't do a thing about it that grass can't, you no seen? And who ha fe go an' do that? It's I and I have to come together with love...seen? Heartical love and respect for each other, you no seen? Because them little fuckers are done with...you no seen? Yes I!
And learn this man, we can mek (let) the little pirate come here. Me glad all the Prime minister here, and the minister of opposition, and ministers of Parliment are here. We can't let little pirate come here and rob up the resouces of the country, seen? Because that is what they been doing for long, long bloodbath time, and have poor people in a bloodclot back shit out them house, seen? Them the thing that 'fe done! Seen? 'Cos the earth shook now! And Jamaica..., learn this man! Jamaica is one of the richest west indies countries in the world, learn that. Jamaica can feed the world with food. I see thousands of acres of land about there me coulda plant herb, and make shipments of herb, a go and mek we cure Glaucoma! So we don't want none of this peace here! We want Equal Rights and what? Justice!

THE DAY THE DOLLAR DIE
(Peter Tosh)

I see Johnny with his head hanging down
Wondering how many schillings left in that pound
Cost of living it is rising so high
Dollar see that have heart attack and die

Bills and budgets are waiting
Finance ministers anticipating
Unemployment is rising
And I hear my people, they're crying

The day the dollar die
Things are gonna be better
The day the dollar die
No more corruption
The day the dollar die
People will respect eachother
The day the dollar die

Tell me brother
Is there something I can do
Don't you let frustrations make you blue

Time is hard
And I know that is true
But if you pick yourself up
That's all you've got to do

Things can be much better
If we can come together
Long time we been divided
And it's time we be inited

The day the dollar die
Gonna be better
The day the dollar die
I won't need no pockets
The day the dollar die
Don't have to be frettin'
The day the dollar die

Now I see you standing on your feet
And you can also make two ends meet
Never you let life problems get you down
There is always a solution to be found

Bills and budgets are mourning
Finance ministers groaning
Unemployment is rising
And I hear my people crying from the ghetto

The day the dollar die
It's gonna be nice
The day the dollar die
Just you wait and see
The day this here dollar die
There be no more inflation
The day the dollar die

I say the day Danny dollar die
The day Sammy dollar die
We will love eachother
I said the day this a dollar die
Fight some inflation

So there'll be
No more smokin and feelin tense
When I see them a come
I don't have to jump no fence

Legalize marijuana
Down here in Jamaica
Only cure for asthma
I'm another Minister(of the Herb)

So there'll be no more
Police brutality
No more disrespect
For humanity

Legalize marijuana
Down here in Jamaica
It can build up your failing economy
Eliminate the slavish mentality

There'll be no more
Illegal humiliation
And no more police
Interrogation

Legalize marijuana
Down here in sweet Jamaica
Only cure for glaucoma
I'm another Bush Doctor

So there be
No more need to smoke and hide
When you know you're takin
Illegal ride
