We used to lick chalice, cook ital stew together
Play football and cricket as one brother

Let us all unite
Everyone is living in fear
Just through this ballistic affair

And you might rest a West
You a come say you are di best?
Ballistic affair, tell you my brother
Ballistic affair
Ballistic affair, tell you my sister

Everyone is living in fear
Just through this ballistic affair

Now true, you black outta di East
And you might rest a West
You a come say, you are di best?
Ballistic affair, tell you my brother

Ballistic affair, tell you my sister
