I Know You Don't Care About Me

Bunny Wailer / From the slaveship to the chain / From the task masters whip to my
brain / Kidnapped, enslaved, raped and killed by the lynch clan / Again and again /
Is it the origin of the skin or the face of a race / Why you don't care about me?
Ziggy Marley / Now, I know you don't care about me / I`m just a nigger walking down
your street / The brother did nothing wrong / but now his life is gone / So, I know
you don't care about me / Code of silence you say / Yet your action speaks so loud
and clear / Diallo`s killers going free paid by society / Now I know you don't care
about me
Damian "Junior Gong" Marley / Hey - we should be burning and looting, believe me,
start exchange 41 fe 90 / Our ancestors wey build this country and all sticks and
whips and kicks and punches meanwhile your living like some bird in bunches / Tell
me where the justice much less the dances? / Mi world must know that man still in
darkness
Yami Bolo / Lord! Rapings, torture, kill and maim. Their injustice remains the same
/ killing the people in the Queens name / No one will gets the blame, and my people
keep going down the drain / All these crimes we've come to read, they'll be written
in black history / Crimes of injustice and inhumanity, perpetuated by society, and
my people / are living in poverty
Bunny Wailer / My struggle for survival is to be accepted and treated as a member of
the human family, who's practice should reveal the fundamental right and duty to be
humane in all judgement and action to all humanity / So, why don't you care about
me? / Say, I know you don't care about me / I`m just a nigger walking down your
street / The brother did nothing wrong, but now his life is gone / and I know you
don't care about me / Code of silence you say / but your action is so loud and clear
/ Are Diallo's killers going free? Paid by society / And I know you don't care about
me
Buju Banton / Amadou Diallo, they killed him for nuttin' / No crime him did not do!
/ And just like him there were others who suffered for what they didn't do / We're
living in a system, we are the victim and that is so true / Amadou Diallo –
Reggae music knows your name / Amadou Diallo – Reggae music knows your name
Ziggy / Refrain
Morgan Heritage / Yo, Ziggy, check this out! / It's kinda strange how the same
things been happening / over and over again, over and over again / And they say
their constitution's for the benefit of all / It's all a lie again, it's all a lie
again / Tell me when will this injustice change / Tell me when will we stop feeling
pain / Just the way we survive in their eyes it's a crime / You're to blame for all
that's bleeding this way / Yes, we know you don't care about we / Yes, we know you
don't care about we
Malcolm X: "We want to talk right down to earth in a language that everybody here
can easily understand. We all agree tonight – all of the speakers have agreed
– that America has a very serious problem! Not only does America have a very
serious problem / But our people have a very serious problem."
