Teach the World Songtext
von Lucky Dube

It takes a million people
To build up a good reputation
But it takes one stupid fool
To destroy everything they done

The world knows your people as
The most violent in the world
The world knows your nation as
The most oppresive in the world
Take it upon yourself
To restore your nation′s dignity

It takes you to teach the world
That is why I got to say


Wherever you go (teach the world)
(Teach them right)
Teach the world (teach the world)
About your people (teach them right)
About your nation (teach the world)
Teach the world (teach them right)
About your religion (teach the world)
Teach them right (teach them right)

It takes a million lives
To get the respect you deserve
When people see your kind
Some of them would run a mile

The world knows your people
As a nation of crooks
Everyone around you should
Always keep their eyes opened

The world knows your nation
As a nation of drug lords
Everyone blames your people
For the destruction of the world
Take it upon yourself
To restore your nation's dignity


Everywhere you go
Teach the world (about your people)
Teach them right (teach them right)
Teach the world (about your culture)
Teach them right (teach them right)
Teach the world (religion)
Teach them right

Teach them about Rastafara
Teach the world (about your nation)
Teach them right (teach them about)
Teach the world (about your people)
Teach them right (teach)
Teach the world (about your culture)
Teach them right...
