Lyrics

Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny, children
And in this judgement there is no partiality
So arm in arms, with arms, we'll fight this little struggle, yes
'Cause that's the only way we can overcome our little trouble
And brother, you're right, you're right
You're right, you're right, you're so right
We gon' fight (we gon' fight) we'll have to fight (we gon' fight)
We gonna fight (we gon' fight) fight for our rights
Natty Mash it in-a (Zimbabwe)
Go de Dread go de in-a (Zimbabwe)
Africans a-liberate (Zimbabwe) yeah
I'n'I a-liberate Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
No, no, no more internal power struggle, children
Come together, sort out the little trouble you see there
Soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionaries, yes
I don't want my people to be contrary
And, brother, you're right, you're right
You're right, you're right, you're so right
We gon' fight (we gon' fight) we gon' fight (we gon' fight)
He's gonna fight (we gon' fight) fighting for our rights
Natty trash it in-a (Zimbabwe)
Go de Dread go de in-a (Zimbabwe)
Africans a-liberate Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
I'n'I a-liberate Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
To divide and rule could only tear us apart
In every man chest, children, there beats a heart
You see then, soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionaries, yes
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 gon' fight (we gon' fight) we've fight (we gon' fight)
We gonna fight (we gon' fight) fighting for our rights
Natty trash it in-a Zimbabwe
(Zimbabwe)
Africans a-liberate Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
I'n'I a-liberate Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe)
Africans a-liberate Zimbabwe
Ah-ah (Zimbabwe)
Zimbabwe
