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

Now mi seh 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

Now praise up the Almighty, no deal with devilism
Fi Almighty works I and I naw go put no critism
Now praise up the Almighty, no deal with devilism
Rasta livity a no rastafarism

Now love and harmony, is wey we need upon the street
Got to get a place fi ghetto youths fi rest dem feet
Because they trod the rocky road

Now I say love and inity, is wey we need upon the street
Got to get a place fi ghetto youths fi rest dem feet
Because they trod the rocky road

Now mi sey when the base is heavy, we lay 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

Now praise up the Almighty, no deal with devilism
Watch the ghetto youths as keep being only victims
Love up the Almighty, no deal with devilism
Rasta livity a no rastafarism no

Love and inity, 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

Now I say love and inity, 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
