Artist/Band: Jimmy Cliff
Lyrics for Song: No Justice
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Jimmy Cliff



I work all day


To find my daily bread


Work so hard to get a roof over my head





But the one's I work with acts like their my masters


When what I refuse I'm more then equal partner





I can't get no justice


Under this system


I can't get no justice in this society


I work day and night to find my daily needs


But freedom is suppressed by another one's greed


Why should serve the one's who control another one's needs?


It's rebellion these kind of actions breeds





I can't get no justice


Under this system


I can't get no justice


In this society





I can't get no justice


Under this system


I can't get no justice


In this society





Why should one be judged by the color of their skin?


Instead of look what it is they show from deep within


If they keep wanting to control what we earn


Run a press around because we're going to burn (going to burn)





I can't get no justice under this system


I can't get me no justice


In this society


I can't get me no justice


Under this system


I can't no justice in this society





I can't get me no justice


Under this system


I can't get no justice


In this society


Yeah, yeah





I can't get no justice under this system


I can't get no justice in this society


I can't get me no justice


Under this system


I Can't get no justice in this society


About No Justice

Jimmy Cliff's "No Justice" stands as a defining anthem of the 1960s reggae movement, capturing the raw frustration of social inequality and political oppression in Jamaica. Released during a pivotal era when the genre was gaining global traction, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of rhythmic complexity and socially conscious lyricism. As a cornerstone of Cliff's discography, the song resonated deeply with audiences worldwide, helping to establish reggae not merely as a musical style but as a powerful vehicle for expressing collective struggle and hope. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to articulate universal themes of injustice through a distinct cultural lens, cementing its place in the history of both Jamaican music and international protest songs.
