Chorus:
Give us our own security in our neighborhood
Give us our own security in our neighborhood
We will understand them
And they will understand us
We will work together so
Things will be better
Chorus
Ministers and mayors
What you going to do for the people
In this present two thousand
Yes young people
If you don't know what you want to be
In life
Join up
Hold on to a skill or trade
And get some kind of recognition
Chorus
If something sould go wrong
I will take no side regardless
Who is right from who is wrong
Rules and regulation
Became a part of this plan
We want discipline and respect
Chorus
African Americans
African West Indians
Remember what the red black
And green stand for
The red black and green
To remember our pain
If it's minor problem
Never see our security
If it's minor problem
Never see our security
Ministers and mayors
Ministers and mayors
Chorus
We can do it
We can do it
In our neighborhood
In our neighborhood
Chorus
We will understand them
And they will understand us
We will work together so
Things will be better
Chorus
