lyrics

Big up to me bedreen Dave Beat,
and to all my brothers and sisters still inna di struggle, Wha gwaan, the good ovah the evil me seh,
yu nuh see...oh yes.
Listen,me have to tell dem...
Life ovah death,me seh life ovah death,
di good ovah di evil always, ah yes you know
Life ovah death me seh life ovah death,
di good ovah di evil, must membah, all right
Nah me ah go tell dem,
open nah your eyes,
nuff ah dem ah blind, it’s time to rise up and show them,
rise up and show them di light
Life inna the valley,life into the sea,
Life into yo body, pretty life upon di street
Life is a blessing, life is everything
Me no need to shoot no gun,
me no want to kill nobody,
Me no want to see no more children dying
Me no want to hear no more mammas crying
Stop hollah di fuss and di fight
be wise and keep your faith in the Almighty
Life ovah death,me seh life ovah death,
di good ovah di evil always, ah yes you know
Life ovah death me seh life ovah death,
di good ovah di evil, must membah, all right
Put down yo gun, put down the knife
Pray the Almighty Father King Selassie I
Teach ́bout di love, respect di life,
Stay away di shadow, must come fi di light
Be conscience and pride, get ready to take over
Di black and di white, must unite and work together
To make Babylon Fall,and get di liberation
Give justice to all,
Put all the differences aside and build a brand new state of mind
To live inna this world in peace and harmony,
Babylon defeat must come.
Life ovah death,me seh life ovah death,
di good ovah di evil always, ah yes you know
Life ovah death me seh life ovah death,
di good ovah di evil, must membah, all right
