[Verse 2: Yami Bolo & Junior Reid]
Careful of life in a fast lane
Don't get caught in a cash game
I see you wasting your life gain
Smoke it away in the ashtray
[?] downtown
Don't have to ask when it goes down
I stand for yute get t'row down
It's like a showdown
The whole world has become a prison
'cause my people suffer for no reason
We been through great tribulation
Now the fight is for the liberation
Street kings rule di streets wit' dominion
Overcome di struggle let it be your inspiration
So many children face starvation
Jah a' di hope for di human salvation
Ay yai yai yay
Ay yai yai yai
Ay yai yai yay
Freedom as a brand new day
[Chorus]
You live the life you love
You love the life you live

You love the life you live
You live the life you love
You love the life you live
You live the life you love
You love the life you live
[Verse 3: Capleton]
Bwoy live yuh life and live it positive
Speak di truth and speak it ever till it's as it is
Don't let dem take yuh for a ride and [?]
Or else yuh nah go survive and that's so bad it is
Remember what yuh sow yuh gonna reap, yeah
Remember yuh haffi t'ink before yuh speak, yeah
And practice what yuh preach

And never lef you headback careless in the streets
[Chorus]
