So long we a burn them fire
Some a them waan bring down themselves inna slavery

Chorus:
What does it worth, without love ?
Put away your distrust and your grudge
Words without work is not enough
And everyday you make a pull, the journey get rough
What is this world without love ?
Put away your distrust and your grudge
Words without work is not enough
And everyday you make a try the journey get tough
Verse 1:
You remember when you trodding through the valleys of the region ?
Jumping the follies, all the doubts and confusions
Giving obstacles, so many trouble you buck up on
Things a go the other way
When a never so you set your plan
Words of the wicked is pollution
Caan bring no stress nor no strain inna Zion
Emperor Selassie is the only foundation
Only Emmanuel relieve the frustration
You want to be free from the corruption
Me tell you such is life from the creation
Only Marcus Garvey show the situation
I only chant fi repatriation
Chorus
Verse 2:
From the things in life you can't walk away
Whatsoever it brings, it will have to stay
According to your words, a double death you pay
Keep the smile on your face, make it an easy day
Me know them weak, so them gone astray
Wolf amongst the sheep, them deh deh same way
See me and a creep fi make a better way
One man fly the seal, a King Selassie I me sey
Some a them a sleep, even before them pray
Getting it right a come a lion bay
Through un-devine only if you stay
In a the right line, you see the right way
Selassie will be blazing I praise him
Remember that is blackness me still a say
Chorus
Verse 3:
There is no sense in turning back
Get right by your friend, whether you are a idiot

No distrust nor envy must be in here

Found it interest you that it going on forever yes
What's the marketing look at who they're targeting
I've been out there in the streets performing
We're obsess about the music and them warning
One day one day Babylon they will be falling
We've been enduring for a night but joy come in the morning
I buss the window find my curtains sun shining on
Birds in the garden children playin in the lawn
Love that's what we need stop all the war
Listen to the music as you go you gonna reach far
I know that you're a star

Brutish fool no they don't stand a chance
Don't forget where yuh comin from I only tell you once
Ignorance of the earth might cause your anxiety
Not for silver nor gold don't turn on humanity
All things shall fade as long as its vanity
No, I'm not telling you no profanity
Store up your riches in Zion
That way they just can't be rust or gather dust like no iron
Hail up the Conquering Lion, most high Jah
You're the only one we can rely on

(As for those) in the basement
(Marijuanas) the medicine
(And those) on the pavement
(Burning down the false) government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says hes got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
Its something you did
(Jah) knows when
But youre doin it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phones tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D.A.
Look out kid
Dont matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Dont try No Doz
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch (those) plain clothes
You dont need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows
(You) get sick, (then) get well
Hang around an ink well
(Things fell), hard to tell
If anything is goin to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write Braille
Get jailed, jump bail
(Dont stop, you dont) fail
Look out kid
Youre gonna get hit
By users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin for a new fool
Dont follow leaders
Watch the parkin meters
Ah get born, keep warm
(Girls come) learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her (to please me)
Dont steal, dont (shop) lift
Twenty years of schoolin
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
(You come out from the dark zone)
Light yourself a (fire torch)
Wear (your) sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Dont wanna be a bum
(Get yourself a gun)
The pump dont work

Love you more, giving you some more
You're who I'm living for, what all those killing for?
I'm just used to you so near
People when you're not there
A part of me goes in despair
My whole heart and soul declare
Crime and violence everywhere
I heard you loud and clear
People trying to reach, ain't gettin no where
Children dying, parents shedding tears
Bloodshed in the street
Oh gosh, I don't wanna see it
Babies got nothing to eat
People got no place to sleep
No clothes splinters in their feet
Those with the power still got shot coming
Raising taxes 'stroying our economy
Working hard still we got no money
Love you more, giving you some more
You're who I'm living for, what all those killing for?
Love you more, giving you some more
You're who I'm living for, what all those killing for?
Learn to respect yourself
You're a shining star, stop your fighting
With all our hate, could we get this far?
Love and unity, that's what it's all about
Don't y'all know the system
Is polluted inside out
Hate and grudge, all of these things
Makes you honorable for the system
When you're disobedient
You become the victim
Humble and give praise
While you're still living, yeah
Love you more, giving you some more
You're who I'm living for, what all those killing for?
Love you more, giving you some more

Oh, ooh, I'm missing you, girl
I'm missing you
Dry cry, even tears
Even my heart cries, but who cares
Whose fault? No one but myself
Things do happen words can't explain
Beyond the human reasoning, joy mixed with pain
People would spend time just for us to separate
They don't want to see us reach nowhere
Oh girl, and you know I care
Why does it have to be this way?
Can't tell you go, can't tell you to stay
Just one of those days, just one of those days
Am I too humble or ignorant?
Things begun to fade, nothing seems important
Oh, my girl has left me and gone
Just don't want to see her in another arm
The essence of her beauty and her charm
The perfume still linger, oh damn
Remember girl, where we coming from, oh
I'm the one to whom you belong, whoa yeah
Girl, you keep me strong
You and you alone, no other one
Why does it have to be this way?
Can't tell you to go, can't tell you to stay
Just one of those days, just one of those days
It's looking to see her at my gate
Listening to hear the phone rings by the fire place
Now, somewhere out there is my girl
Now, where can I find her in this world?
Still not gonna break down nor be sad
Even though I'm stressed out, fed up and feeling mad
I just can't do without her, oh Jah
Still a man got to try
Why does it have to be this way?
Can't tell her to go, can't tell her to stay
Just one of those days, just one of those days
Is this happening for real?
Only if you know the vibes what I feel
Still trying to do my best and I still won't lose my interest
My girl, I love you so, really hate to see you go
Why does it have to be this way?
Can't tell you go, can't tell you stay
Just one of those days, just one of those days
Dry cry, even tears
Even my heart cries but who cares
Whose fault? No one but myself
Things do happen words can't explain
Beyond the human reasoning, joy mixed with pain
People would spend time just for us to separate
Oh, they don't want for us to reach nowhere
Oh girl, you know I care
Oh, why does it have to be this way?
Can't tell her go, can't tell her to stay, oh

If you're not your sister's keep then you must be my enemy
There is a wide world with a whole lot of people
Some doing good and some doing evil
Still the most high give them food for all season
Still the sun, moon and stars shine for a reason
To see the world in love I'm so anxious
I love the Black roots and the Black consciousness
All those who have confidence in yourself put your hands up
Jah could destroy this earth in just one touch (what I ask)

If you're not your sister's keeper then you're my damn enemy
(you must be my enemy)
When I say live in love that's the truth
Remember Moses' law eye for eye tooth for tooth
How you fi have your own child yet destroy another youth
Bongo man me tell you righteousness is the root
Love another as you love thy self
No war no strife don't you hurt thy self
Just be conscious and search thy self
Burn the fire and purge thy self (what I ask)
CHORUS
Why can't people live in love and stop from fighting
(love love love) ahh ahhh oooh
Why can't people see themself as brothers and sisters
(why can't we just get along)
If you're not your brother keeper what can you say to me
If you're not your sister's keeper then you're my damn enemy
(you must be my enemy)
Wow so stay in touch and keep communicating
No hate no grudge no separating
When we can live and reason to resolve the problem
That's the greatest thing yah ah ah ah (what I ask)
CHORUS
When are people gonna live in love and stop from fighting

Verse 1 When I'm cruising through,moving through
I consider the little children need new clothes and shoes
I consider the little children need education and food
'Cause I've got the strength,and l've got the vibes
I've got my children and my beautiful wife
Life is for love,life is for living
The blessing from above is so much,l keep giving

They can't keep a gooda man down
Always keep a smile when they want me to frowns
Keep the vibes and they stood my grounds
They will never ever take my crown
Who Jah bless I say no man curse
Things gettin' better when they thought it would be worse
Here comes the officers askin' for a search
They found no weapon just only a draw of herbs
'Cause I'm so solid as a rock, they just can't stop me now
Even when they set their traps, they just can't stop me now
People will say this and that, they just can't stop me now
Even when they set up road blocks, they just can't stop me now
When they come with their evilest thoughts
I just listen whenever they talk
Jah is the light into my dark
He cut and tear my path
They fight without a cause
Tryin' to make my life so hard
The King of kings and the Lord of Lords
Give it all rewards
I'm so solid as a rock, they just can't stop me now
Even when they set there traps, they just can't stop me now
People will say this and that, they just can't stop me now
Even when they set up road blocks, they just can't stop me now
So don't you mix me up with your dirty games
You're only tryin' to tarnish my name
You're only lookin' for the innocent to blame
When your the ones who issue the guns down the lane
You only cause destruction and frame
But the righteous will lives and [Incomprehensible]
Love is all I got to give and I'm not ashamed
Lookin' towards the future, this lion can't tame
'Cause I'm so solid as a rock and they just can't stop me now
Even when they set there traps, they just can't stop me now
People will say this and that, they just can't stop me now
Even when they set up road blocks, they just can't stop me now
So they can't keep a gooda man down
Always keep a smile when they want me to frowns
Keep the vibes and they stood my grounds
They will never ever take my crown
Who Jah bless I say, "No man curse "
Things gettin' better when they thought it would be worse
Here comes the officers askin' for a search
They found no weapon just a only draw of herbs

Black people keep your heads up
