Peter Tosh - Equal Rights


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Everyone is crying out for peace, yes
None is crying out for justice
Everyone is crying out for peace, yes
None is crying out for justice

I don't want no peace
I need equal rights and justice
I need equal rights and justice
I need equal rights and justice
Got to get it, equal rights and justice

Everybody want to go to heaven
But nobody want to die (father us Jesus)
Everybody want to go up to heaven
But none of them, none of them want to die

I don't want no peace
I man need equal rights and justice
I've got to get it, equal rights and justice
I really need it, equal rights and justice
Just give me my share, equal rights and justice
 
What is due to Caesar
You better give it on to Caesar
Matthew 22:17-21 - Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
And what belong to I and I
You better, you better give it up to I

Cause I don't want no peace
I need equal rights and justice
I need equal rights and justice
I've got to get it, equal rights and justice
I'm a fighting for it, equal rights and justice

Everyone heading for the top
But tell me how far is it from the bottom
Nobody know, but everybody fighting to reach the top
How far is it from the bottom

I don't want no peace
I want equal rights and justice
I need equal rights and justice
I've got to get it, equal rights and justice
I really need it, equal rights and justice

Everyone is talking about crime
Tell me who are the criminals
I said everybody is talking about crime, crime
Tell me who, who are the criminals
I really don't see them

I don't want no peace
I need equal rights and justice
We've got to get equal rights and justice
And there'll be no crime, equal rights and justice
There'll be no criminals, equal rights and justice
Everyone is fighting for equal rights and justice
Palestine is fighting for equal rights and justice
Down in Angola, equal rights and justice
Down in Botswana, equal rights and justice
Down in Zimbabwe, equal rights and justice
Down in Rhodesia, equal rights and justice
Right here in Jamaica, equal rights and justice
