Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Life is for us to live
Live it and be clean, oh
And love is for us to give
Never you go acting mean, hey
Life is for us to live
Live it and be clean, oh
Love is for us to give
Live and forgive
This I come to know
And I will say again
When I love I just can't pretend
So even though
Hey, I sight the whole a dem
Aggalang like dem don't got no sense
This I come to know
Grow and experience
Never, ever trust lie then
For even though you sight the whole a dem
Dem devise a plot for you around the bend
Well then, you never gonna get us down
Burn you whether you no love mi sound
Couldn't take the power so you run go clown
More than lighting, more than thunder anytime mi come around
Yield fi ounce, you run gone with a pound
Diss King Selassie then mi know you deh go drown
Remember, Jerusalem bound
Where thou stand, that is holy ground
Many a times you face the drought inna the zone
Give thanks for the blessings Jah preciously count
Rasta forgive us more than the amount
In the abundance I shout, oi, hey
Life is for us to live
Live it and be clean, oi
And love is for us to give
Live and forgive
Remember that your life is for us to live, yo
I and I a live it and be clean, just be clean
'Cause love is for us to live
Your time to live, just live
Everything Babylon see dem delight
Babylon tan calm, mi say a just true I be come from inna the ghetto
Deh so you no like
And mi nah go make you come change mi vibes
Someone will have to give Babylon a fight
And Sizzla a go dust dem out before tonight
A dem alone bawling, come take mi life
And chat 'bout say dem heavy, who
Dem a entice in this 21st century
Have you insight and you will see say dem fiesty
Nuff of dem bright, everyone born free
Then wha' make you no rejoice it, but it burn we
True you can't clamp down like vice, we are all equal as the earth
Oh, what a might I come to burn the wickedest man down
Place a fight, do no get angry
Dem a know mi type as long as dem nah hail Selassie
The whole a dem a scribes, yo
Life is for us to live
Live it and be clean, oh
Love is for us to give
Live and learn to forgive
Remember that your life is for us to live
Live it and be clean, no galang mean
Love is for us to give
We go burn down Babylon regime
This I come to know
I'll say again
When you love mi say you can't pretend
So even though, oh, you sight the whole a dem
Aggalang like dem don't got no sense
This I come to know
Ghetto youth grow and experience
Yo, sand port dem a the heathen
So even though dem gwan like a good vibes a flow
Dem devise a trap fi you 'round the bend
But remember that your life is for us to live
