Lyrics

Live the life you love an' love the life you live
Why some have remind to steal and some have remind to give
But I and I show you, say, I are true born Rastaman
A Rastaman stand fi christian (Do it)
Mi say di air is polluted
Cho, let mi tell you, say di air is polluted
Cah let mi tell you, with the pure gun saluting
Cah let mi tell you, with the pure dirty wicked (Yeah, you know?)
Cah tell you, say di air is polluted (Got hear mi, man)
The youthman nowadays say dem belly hungry
So give dem some work if a even crashie
Dem no got no subject fi go work at JBC
Say, di air is polluted
Cho, let mi tell you, with the pure dirty wicked (Yeah, you know?)
But if a fish would keep his mouth shut
Him would-a never get caught (No way, could-a never)
Said, if a fish would keep his mouth shut
Him would-a never get caught (Bam-diddly-diddly)
Jah, weh mi say?
Di air is polluted
Cah let mi tell you, with the pure dirty wicked (Yeah, you know?)
Cah mi say, ceasing di war, know you don't want no more
Say, I am di deejay from San Salvador
Mi check fi di rich an' mi check fi di poor
But some time mi have fi sleep pon di floor
True, di air is polluted
Cho let mi tell you, say di air is polluted
Cah let mi tell you, with the pure dirty wicked (Yeah, you know?)
I an' I cyaan understand weh a gwan
Mi say the youthman mind class, dem a fire pure gun
The youthman mind class, dem a fire pure gun
Say, in a Babylon dem ya thing ya a gwan
Say, I-ya pupa Chaplin are go nice up di land
Cah di air is polluted
Cho let mi tell you, say di air is polluted (But hear mi, man)
If a fish would keep his mouth shut
Him would-a never get caught (Never get caught)
Said, if a fish would keep his mouth shut
Him would-a never get caught (Bam-diddly-diddly-diddly)
Mi say, di youth-dem nowadays, dem no got no help
Dem come in like a Heineken weh deh pon shelf
Dem birthday gone, you no give dem nothing
Dem turn on di radio an' not a great thing
Dem go at post office and not a shilling
Mi say di air is polluted
Cho let mi tell you, with the pure dirty wicked (Go 'way)
I an' I say, black people, look into yourself, mankind
Each one teach one in a Babylon, black people
Knowledge is what we got to have in this time
No, true, di air is polluted
Cho let mi tell you, say di air is polluted (Yeah, you know?)
Cah dis are warning (Bam-diddly-diddly-diddly-diddly)
Dis are warning (Bam-diddly-diddly-diddly-diddly)
You blackman, whether you are fighting or not
Cah mi say, all you got to do is stop comiting crime
Cah di air is polluted
I say, di air is polluted (Di lyrics yah a mind)
Cah mi say, di air is polluted (Yeah)
Now, with di pure dirty wicked (Yeah, you know?)
I said-a, love is lovely, an' a love is kinda pure
Love is something you shoulda never-ever-ever try to endure
But-a, air is polluted
Cho let mi tell you, say di air is polluted (Cah, weh mi say?)
With pure dirty wicked
Cho let mi tell you, with the pure dirty wicked
Cah, pupa Chaplin cyaan stand it no longer
Cah, fi mi ship, mi said it don't carry anchor
Cah let mi tell you, say di air is polluted
The youth nowadays, dem really start suffer (Yeah, you know?)
Cah tell you, say di air is polluted (Yeah)
