Heart haffi clean, mind haffi pure
Lock the machine no skull nuh fi bore
We deh 'pon the scene and we want feel secure
'Cause the people can't take it no more

If a hate dem a come with we got love and that's the cure
And glorious things can never be ignored

Nuff a dem a shark and nuff a a dem a whale
Dem don't have no heart and dem want see you fail
Dem duck up inna the dark and dem want curtail
But dem can't stop da ship from sail
Certain people never change dem love to blackmail
Dem want kill the righteous with dem hammer and dem nail
But one day dem train will come off a the rail
We say love over hate will prevail

Bless up the people who a step up inna life

But a love we come fi give dem inna surplus
