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 no fun, ay

Live and give etc.
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
