Live and give
The best of your ability
Live and forgive
Your brothers and your sisters
And if you don't forgive
How do you expect to be forgiven
For the many wrongs
Of which you have done
Causing so many people
Not to have nu fun, ay
Live and give
The best of your ability
Live and forgive
Your brothers and your sisters
Even on a daily basis
Pure tribal conflict
Sometimes for a vial of crack
Another time it's a criminal act
Can't you see there is something lacking
What about your black black love
That is coming from afar
Can't afford to lose out now
Down inna Babylon
Live and give
