Chords for Damian Marley - Brothers Keeper Ft Ziggy Marley

_ [F#m] _ _ From the slave ship to the chain, from the [Bm] taskmaster's whip to my brain, kidnapped and
slaved, raped and killed by [A] the lynch [F#m] clan again and again.
Is it the origin of [Bm] the skin or the face of a race?
[F#m] Why you [E] don't care [F#m] about me.
_ _ Now I know you don't care about me.
_ I'm [Bm] just a nigga walking down the street.
_ The [F#m] brother did nothing wrong, [Bm] but now his life is gone.
[F#m] So I know you [E] don't care [F#m] about me.
_ _ _ _ Board of silence you say, _ yet [Bm] your actions speak so loud and clear.
_ The [F#m] hollow skin that's going free, [Bm] paid by society.
_ [F#m] Now I know you [E] don't care [F#m] about me.
_ We [F#] should be burning and looting, [B] believe me.
Start X-Files 41 to 90.
Our ancestors were the least conscious.
Hand-at-sticks and [E] whips and [F#] kicks and punches.
Meanwhile you're [F#m] living like some Brady [B] Bunces.
Tell me where the justice must rest their [F#m] chances.
We're worth much [E] more than a flicking [F#m] taffy.
_ _ _ We can still touch, steal and gain.
_ [Bm] Their injustice remains the same.
[F#m] Killing the people in the Queens way.
[Bm] No one else gets to blame.
[F#m] And my people [E] keep going down [F#m] the drain.
_ _ _ All these crimes are done to [A] me.
_ [Bm] They'll be written in black history.
_ _ [F#m] Crimes of injustice and humanity, [Bm]
perpetrated by society.
[F#m] My people [E] are living in [F#m] poverty.
_ _ _ My struggle for survival is to be accepted and treated as a member of [Bm] the human family.
This practice should reveal the fundamental [F#m] right and duty to be humane in all [Bm] judgment and action to all humanity.
[F#] So why don't [E] you care about [F#m] me?
_ _ Say I know you don't care about me.
_ [Bm] I'm just a neighbor walking down your street.
The brother [G#m] did nothing wrong.
But now his life is gone.
And I [C#m] know you don't care [F#m] about me.
_ _ _ Code of silence you say.
_ [B] _ But your action [F] is so loud and [B] clear.
_ [F#m] _ Idealist killers go free.
[Bm] Paid by society.
And [F#m] I know you [E] don't care [F#m] about me.
Am I due to be killed for nothing?
No crime he didn't do.
[Bm] And just like him, there were others who suffered for what they didn't do.
[F#m] Living in a city, we are the [Bm] victims.
And that is so true.
[F#m] Am I due to be [E] killed for nothing?
[F#m] Reggae _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ [E] music knows your [F#m]
name.
_ _ Code [F#] of silence you say.
[E] _ [N] Yes, your action speaks so loud and clear.
[B] _ [F#m] The idealist killer is going free.
[Bm] Paid by society.
And I [F#m] know [E] you don't care about [F#m] me.
_ Time seems like the same thing's been happening.
_ Over [Bm] and over again.
Over and over again.
When they [F#m] say the _ constitution's for the [Bm]
benefit of all.
It's all [F#m] a lie, [E] yeah.
It's all [F#m] a lie, yeah.
Tell me [G] when will [C#m] this injustice change?
Tell me when.
[N] Tell me when will we stop feeling pain?
Feeling pain.
[F#m] Injustice awaits a life [Bm] in their eyes.
_ _ [F#m] You're to [E] blame for [F#m] our lives being this way.
Yes, we know you don't care about me.
Yes, we know.
Yes, [Bm] we know. _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] Yes, _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [F#m] we [E] know.
_ [F#m] _ _
Now I know you don't care about me. _
I'm [Bm] just a nigga walking down your street.
[F#m] The pride that did nothing wrong, [Bm] but now his life is gone.
[F#m] So I [E] know you don't care about [F#m] me. _
_ We want to talk right down to earth in a language that everybody [Bm] here can easily understand.
We all agreed tonight, [F#m] all of the speakers have agreed, that America has a very [Bm] serious problem.
Not [F#m] only does America have a very [E] serious problem, but our [F#m] people have a very serious problem. _ _ _ _ _ _
