lyrics

Open the world, shut the borders down
and tell every boy and girl,
wake up the people all over town!
tell dem seh we moving, moving, moving, moving!
Open the world, shut the borders down
and tell every boy and girl,
wake up the people all over town
tell dem seh we moving, moving, moving, moving!

Tóke:
I man a world citizen,
no bother come with your division
mi nah believe in nations nor religions
same way mi nah believe in race
cause a these are di tings whe facilitate killings
and eliminate di bridge instead of building it
isolate we apart in di images
separating di parts never bridging dem
see never hate in di hearts of mi bredren dem
I believe in socialization
of course it matters where you live or you came from
di environment where you grow up
a di striking point whe shape yuh behaviour
so mek me get rid a di papers
we nah go let dem break us today
all together and courageous - cho!
See the world is connected,
what goes around comes around
you throw up a stone mi seh it must come down
so every step that you take, a reaction awaits
so don‘t forget we troddin‘ pon di same way!

Open the world, shut the borders down
and tell every boy and girl,
wake up the people all over town!
tell dem seh we moving, moving, moving, moving!
Open the world, shut the borders down
and tell every boy and girl,
wake up the people all over town
tell dem seh we moving, moving, moving, moving!

Ras Muhamad:
Open the world and come
uplift the people dem with music
life coulda never be mastered, you and I forever students
searching for meaning of what’s really to be human?
while some run di world and turn it into ruins.
dem ride ina egoptrip
ina di name of Allah or Elohim
want the world to see thru dem evil lense
black and white, limited sight. dem see no thing
never see the spectrum, heap of mess run
teach deception, we keep a distance
gideon come, tell me who could withstand?
show more love and the world would live long
no run to dem, we ah go stay far, stay far
any time dem wan fi wage war, wage war
they are so greedy, dem ah take all, take all
so fly di gate and open the world!
we nah agree to dem murder business
or end up in a dem long hitlist
waan run the world like your name Gengis
no waan the people dem co-exist
we work for world-citizenship
fight until the wicked elements quit
hatred n prejudice get dismissed
His Majesty ah di wise Kingship.

Eyah, Eyah, Eyah, Eyah!
Eyah, Eyah, Eyah, Eyah!
Eyah, Eyah, Eyah, Eyah!
Eyah, Eyah, Eyah, Eyah!

Open the world, shut the borders down
and tell every boy and girl,
wake up the people all over town!
tell dem seh we moving, moving, moving, moving!
Open the world, shut the borders down
and tell every boy and girl,
wake up the people all over town
tell dem seh we moving, moving, moving, moving!

Tóke:
Well this sound travel from Jamrock,
to Italy, to Germany to Indonesia
Music is a border-free zone
so wi seh open the world - yeah!
Ras Muhamad salam damai
Indonesia salam damai
Jakarta salam damai - yeah!
