Sizzla - Got To Protect The Life I Live

Chorus

Got to protect the life I live
and get the best that I can get
cleanliness that’s what it is
wanna be strong got to be strong got to be positive
Got to protect the life
and get the best that I can get
Righteousness that’s what it is
Wanna be strong got to be positive (x1)

Verse 1

Respect you for not what you possess but what you are
not what you can give but the things you stand for
be good be clean and righteous yeah and all
when you need some help and someone you can rely on and you can call oh
some people really think that things will come easy
shake a tree a so yuh get money,
but not really
oh spend yuh money wisely believe me
so if I don’t have it yuh get it next time when you see me
oh wicked they going on in their wrongs
and they fight against the righteous people upon di land
setting their traps and pushing out fangs
could never get wi down because wi going so strong
whoa no time will di wicked guh over di righteous
whoa because wi praise Selassie they don’t like us
always they spite see they come to spite us but oh, Most High rise us

Chorus (x1)

Verse 2

Ok, no time for you to sit down and idle
yuh burn a spliff blaze yuh chalice
then yuh read yuh Bible
no sense killing all yuh brothers with the rifle
Most High Blessing yuh see rise you
Oh where you go now that life is for all of us?
tell your brothers that the Most High should call us
