No Justice, No Peace chords by Intelligent Hoodlum
Verse 1
Bb
Everybody in the history of our people
From Garvey through Martin Luther
King through Malcolm
All the way to Queensbridge Houses
Have hit the streets and spoke
Verse 2
Bb
No justice, no peace
No peace, no justice
No justice, no peace
No peace, no justice
Verse 3
Bb
There was a brother in the Bridge,
Richie Lou
Beaten to death by the red,
white and blue
I can still hear the siren, and I hate it
Headlines read: Death
was drug- related
What does crack have to do with
the life that's bein taken
Drugs that one is usin,
or money that one is makin
No one can bare the pain of his mother,
I know it hurted
The thought of her son bein beaten,
then murdered
Too late to turn the other cheek
now, cause I'm bothered
This little girl's gonna grow
without a father
And all we can do for brother
Rich is say peace
And make sure the killin cease
Verse 4
Bb
Cause if we don't have justice,
there is no peace
No peace,
this is the message you're sendin me
Killin my brothers makes
you my enemy
Another man's heaven is a blackman's hell
If you think he's not your enemy,
then time will tell
Cause America's a prison,
America's a prison
America's a prison and we
wanna be released
No justice, no justice, no peace
Verse 5
Bb
No justice, no peace No
peace, no justice
No justice, no peace
No peace, no justice
No justice, no peace
No peace, no justice
No justice, no peace
No peace, no justice
Verse 6
Bb
It's the '90s, and I speak
for my descendants
Africa deserves its independence
Unity is strength, separation is illusion
There's no such thing
as a peaceful revolution
Let's all fight for the motherland
Man, woman and child, child,
woman and man
Abortion or birth,
you tell me what's sweeter
Who knows, you could've just
killed a young black leader
Givin birth is a beautiful ability
Sex should be safe if you
Verse 7
lack responsibility
Bb
Strenght is the son,
support is the daugther
Some say it's murder and some
say that it's slaughter
A woman should be trialed, prosecuted
When a innocent life is executed
So before you lay down with a man,
think of results
Abortion is a sacrifice as an adult
Uncle Sam pays for college,
waring skill
Your man is programmed
with the desire to kill
Uncle Sam declares war on the Japanese
For black you never bled,
but for white you bleed
Black children grow in
a world like this
Where they kill black leaders
Verse 8
and activists
Bb
Public housing is prison,
get out of the place
Welfare is a system hold back
the black race
Power for people, progress converter
Welfare is economical murder
Physical and mental murder
must cease
(Come on, baby) No justice,
no peace
Verse 9
Bb
No justice, no peace No
peace, no justice
No justice, no peace
No peace, no justice
No justice, no peace
No peace, no justice
No justice, no peace
No peace, no justice
Verse 10
Bb
There was a brother in the Bridge
named Richie Lou
Beaten to death by the

I can still hear the siren sound,
and I hate it

the life that's bein taken
Drugs that one is usin,
Verse 11
money that one is makin
Bb
No one can bare the pain of his mother,
I know it hurted
The thought of her son bein beaten,

without a father
And all we can do for brother
Rich is say peace
And make sure the killin cease
Verse 12
Bb
Cause if we don't have justice,
then there is no peace
No peace, this is the message
you're sendin me?
Killin my brothers makes

Another man's heaven is a blackman's hell
If you think he's not your enemy,
then time will tell
Cause America's a prison,
America's a prison
America's a prison and we
wanna be released
(Now what time is it?) No justice,
no justice, no peace
