Sizzla’s defiantly upbeat and inspiring track “Life” appearing on the Red Alert album, and African Children album. It shares the same title as the more reflective and intimate “Life” track from the Life album.
[Intro]
Oh ohh, oh yeah, oh oh oh oh ayy
[Chorus]
Life is for us to live
Live it and be clean, whoah oh
And love is for us to give
Never you go acting mean, oy
And life is for us to live
Live it and be clean, bobo
Love is for us to give
Live and forgive
[Verse 1]
This I come to know
And I will say again
When I love I just can't pretend
So even though, ayy, you sight de whole a dem
A go long like dem don't got no sense
This I come to know, grow and experience
Never trust the heathen
For even though, you sight de whole o dem
Dem devise a plot fi you around de bend
Well den
You never gonna get us down
Burn yuh, whether you no love my sound
Couldn't take the power so you run go clown
More than lightning more than thunder
Any time me come around
Hail fi ounce you run gone with a pound
Diss King Selassie den me know you dey gon drown
Remember, Jerusalem bound
Where thou standeth is holy ground
Many a times you face de drought, i'na dis zone
Give thanks for the blessings so preciously count
Rasta forgive us more den de amount
In de abundance I shout, I and
[Chorus]
Life is for us to live
Live it and be clean, oy
And love is for us to give
Live and forgive
Remember that your life is for us to live
I and I, I live it and be clean just be clean
Cause love is for us to live, you got to live, just live
[Verse 2]
Everything Babylon see - dem delight
Babylon turn calm, me say you just too hype
Me come from in-a de ghetto there, so you no like
And me nah go make yuh come change me vibes
Someone will have to give Babylon a fight
And Sizzla a go dust them out before tonight
And dem alone what fi come take me light
A chat bout dem say heavy who dem a entice
In dis 21st century, have you insight
And you will see, say them facety, nuff ah dem bright
Everyone born free
Dem wan make you no rejoice
But git burn oye
True you can't clamp them like vice
We are as equal as the earth, oh what a might
I come to burn the wickedness from the place of vibes
Do not get angry, dem a no me type
As long as dey nah hail Selassie, de whole a dem a scribes
Yo
[Chorus]
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, know what I mean
Love is for us to give, me gon burn down Babylon regime
[Outro]
Dis I come to know, I'll say again
When you love me say you can't pretend
So even though you sight de all a dem
A go long like dem don't got no sense
This I come to know Ghetto youth Grow and experience
Yo, John Pope dem a de heathen
So even though dem gwon like a good vibes a flow
Dem devise a trap for you round de bend
But remember dat your life is for us to live
Live it and...
