Who Gave The Order Lyrics


I'm Buju Banton with the Preacher's SonWho gave the orders
For them to go? Alright
Who gave the orders?
Martin was shut down, alright
Who gave the orders
To drop the bomb? We wanna know
Who gave the orders?
No refugees across the borders, heyQuestions asked with no response
(Who's gonna answer?)
Where did all these guns come from?
(Who's gonna answer?)
Feeding lies to our daughters and sons
(But they will have to have to answer)
Then what you gonna do when the Rastaman comes?
(Where you gonna run for cover?)Lookin' through the window of my irie eyes
On the city filled with lies
Observin' the people workin' so hard
Doin' whatever it takes to get by

Then I look at myself and realize
That I was put here for a reason
Lord knows I've done my best and I've triedWe gon' keep tryin'
Who gave the orders
For them to go? Lord, no
Who gave the orders?
Martin was gunned down, oh
Who gave the orders
To drop the bomb? My God
Who gave the orders?
No refugees across the borders, oooQuestions asked with no response
(Who's gonna answer?)
Where did all these guns come from? Tell all
(Who's gonna answer?)
Feeding lies to our daughters and sons
(They will have to have to answer)
Well, what you gonna do when the Rastaman comes?
(Where you gonna run for cover?)Well, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do? What are you gonna do?
Incarcerate a million and only free few
What was done to others it shall be done to you
Open up your eyes and you will see the full view
Work all day and you can't get a raise in pay
Civil liberties been taken away
I wonder what the voice of the people have to say
Stand up and defend your rights todayWho gave the orders
For them to go? Oh
Who gave the orders?
Martin was gunned down, oh
Who gave the orders
To drop the bomb? Alright
Who gave the orders?
No refugees across the borders, wellQuestions asked with no response
(Who's gonna answer?)
Where did all these guns come from?
(Who's gonna answer?)
Telling lies to our daughters and sons
(They will have to have to answer)
Then what they gonna do when the righteous man comes?
(Where you gonna run for cover?)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Wyclef Jean (born October 17, 1972 in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haïti) is an American rapper, producer, and member of the superstar hip hop trio The Fugees, known now for a series of high-profile hit singles.

Jean moved to Brooklyn, New York when he was nine, then to Northern New Jersey, where he began playing the guitar and studying jazz in his high school. In 1987, Jean, his friend (so close they told people they were cousins growing up) Prakazrel Michel (Pras) and his classmate, Lauryn Hill, formed a group called the Tranzlator Crew before becoming The Fugees. Wyclef worked as a cabdriver.

Recently he has been finding success as a collaborator - with his turn on Shakira's 2006 track 'Hips Don't Lie' hitting number one in many countries around the world.

In August of 2010, Jean announced his intent to seek the presidency of Haiti. This move came after his increasingly-high profile humanitarian work in the wake of the earthquake that devastated that nation.
