[Hook]
Now I say love and harmony, is what we need upon the street
Got to get a place fi ghetto youths fi rest dem feet
Because they trod the rocky road
Because they trod the rocky road
Yes, I say love and harmony, is what we need upon the street
Got to get a place fi ghetto youths fi rest dem feet
Because they trod the rocky road
Oh, yes, they trod the rocky road

[Verse 1]
Now mi sey when the base is heavy, mi sidung pon the rhythm
Militant soldier, no go deal with isim skism
Now when the drummer steady, him lock on with the rhythm
Militant soldier ,naw go deal with isim skism
