Ben Harper Zimbabwe Lyrics

Zimbabwe Lyrics



( Bob Marley / Live performance with Michael Franti '94 )



Every man gotta right

To decide his own destiny

And in this judgment

There is no partiality

So arm in arms, with arms

We will fight this little struggle

'Cause that's the only way

We can overcome our little trouble



Brother you're right, you're right

You're right, you're right, you're so right

We gonna fight, we'll have to fight

We gonna fight, fight for our rights



Natty dread it ina Zimbabwe

Set it up ina Zimbabwe

Mash it up ina Zimbabwe

Africans a liberate Zimbabwe



No more internal power struggle

We come together, to overcome

The little trouble

Soon we will find out 

Who is the real revolutionary

'Cause I don't want my people 

To be contrary



Brothers you're right, you're right

You're right, you're right, you're so right



We'll have to fight, we gonna fight

We'll have to fight, fighting for our rights



Mash it up ina Zimbabwe

Natty trash it ina Zimbabwe

I and I a liberate Zimbabwe



Brother you're right, you're right

You're right, you're right, you're so right



We gonna fight, we'll have to fight

We gonna fight, fighting for our rights



To divide and rule

Could only tear us apart

In everyman chest

There beats a heart

So soon we'll find out 

Who is the real revolutionaries

And I don't want my people

To be tricked by mercenaries



Brother you're right, you're right

You're right, you're right, you're so right

We gonna fight, we'll have to fight

We gonna fight, fighting for our rights



Natty trash it ina Zimbabwe

Mash it up ina Zimbabwe

Set it up ina Zimbabwe

Africans a liberate Zimbabwe

Africans a liberate Zimbabwe

Natty dub it ina Zimbabwe

Set it up ina Zimbabwe

Africans a liberate Zimbabwe

Every man got a right

To decide his own destiny
