Chorus: So much trouble in the world So much trouble in the world Bless my eyes this morning Jah sun is on the rise once again The way earthly thing's are going Anything can happen You see men sailing on their ego trip Blast off on their spaceship Million miles from reality No care for you, no care for me Repeat Chorus All you got to do: give a little Give a little, give a little So you think you've found the solution But it's just another illusion! (So before you check out this tide) Don't leave another cornerstone Standing there behind, eh-eh-eh-eh! We've got to face the day, come what may We the street people talking Yeah, we the people struggling Now they sitting on a time bomb Now I know the time has come What goes on up is coming on down Goes around and comes around. Repeat Chorus and fade

Dready got a job to do And he's got to fulfill that mission To see his hurt is their greatest ambition But we will survive in this world of competition Because no matter what they do Natty keep on coming through And no matter what they say Natty do them every day Natty Dread rides again Through the mystics of tomorrow Natty Dread rides again Have no fear, have no sorrow All and all you see a-gwan Is to fight against Rastaman So they build their world on great confusion To force on us the devil's illusion But the stone that the builder refuse Shall be the head cornerstone And no matter what game they play We got something they could never take away We got something they could never take away And it's the fire, it's the fire That's burning down everything Feel the fire, fire Only the birds have their wings No time to be deceived Oh, brothers, you should know and not believe Jah say this judgement - it could never be with water No water can put out this fire This fire, this fire, this fire A yaga y'all! Ride, Natty, ride Go there, Dready, go there Because now the fire is out of control Panic in the city, wicked weeping for their gold Everywhere this fire is burning Destroying and melting their gold Destroying and wasting their souls Ride, Natty, ride Go there, Dready, go there Tell you what: now the people gather on the beach And the leader try to make a speech But the Dreadies understanding that it's too late Fire is burning Man, pull your own weight Fire is burning Man, pull your own weight Natty Dread rides again And me saying Go there, Dready, go there Oh ride, Natty, ride And go there, Dready, go there Riding through the storm Riding through the calm...

See them fighting for power But they know not the hour So they bribing with their guns, spare-parts and money Trying to belittle our integrity now They say what we know is just what they teach us And we're so ignorant Because every time they can reach us Through political strategy They keep us hungry And when you gonna get some food Your brother got to be your enemy Ambush in the night All guns aiming at me Ambush in the night They opened fire on me now Ambush in the night Protected by His Majesty Well, what we know is not what they tell us We're not ignorant, I mean it And they just cannot touch us Through the powers of the Most-High We keep on surfacing Through the powers of the Most-High We keep on surviving This ambush in the night planned by society Ambush in the night They trying to conquer me Ambush in the night Anything money can bring Ambush in the night planned by society

about

Survival is a reggae album by Bob Marley & The Wailers released in 1979.

Survival is an album with an outwardly militant theme. Some critics speculate that this was due in part to criticism Marley received for the laid-back, ganja-soaked atmosphere of his previous release, "Kaya", which seemed to sidetrack the urgency of his message.[3] In the song "Africa Unite", Marley proclaims Pan-African solidarity. The song "Zimbabwe" is a hymn dedicated to later-independent Rhodesia. The song was performed at Zimbabwe's Independence Celebration in 1980, just after the official declaration of Zimbabwe's independence.

Survival was originally to be called Black Survival to underscore the urgency of African unity, but the name was shortened to prevent misinterpretations of the album's theme.[3]
