A dedication to all the refugees worldwide

One time say, say, say

I remember when we used to sit

in the government yard in Brooklyn.

Obba, observing the crookedness

as it mingled with the good people we meet.

Good friends we had,

Good friends we've lost along the way.

In this great future you can't forget your past

So dry your tears I say And to my peeps who passed away,

No woman, no cry, no woman no cry, say say say.

Hey little sister don't shed no tears

No woman no cry say say say.

I remember when we used to rock in a project yard in Jersey,

And little Georgie would make the firelight,

As stolen cars passed through the night

And then we'd hit the corner store for Roots, paper, and brew.

My drink's my only remedy

For pain of losing family, but while I'm gone Shorty,

Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright,

Fugees come to the dance tonight, everything's gonna be alright,

Oh everything's gonna be alright,

The gun man's in the house tonight,

But everything's gonna be alright.

Oh ah oh ah

No woman no cry, no woman no cry.

Hey, little sister, don't shed no tears

No woman no cry say say say.

I remember when we used to sit in a government yard in Trenchtown.

Obba, observing the hypocrites

as they mingled with the good people we meet.

Good friends we had Oh good friends we've lost

Along the way, hey.

In this great future,

you can't forget your past so dry your tears I say

And no woman no cry. No woman no cry say say say.

Hey, little sistser, don't shed no tears

No woman no cry and to my peeps who passed away

Oh ah oh ah
