More Life

Lightning, earthquake and thunder

Yay yay yay yay yay yay, yay yay yay yay yay!

Life is here within; true love is all I bring

Now di dutty water children sip from di spring

Like wave Iyah swim, like message Iyah fling

Dem caan draw I out like nuh puppet pon a string

Yuh dutty livin, cho! get a lightnin

In this giddeon war I neva lose Iyah fi win

Warrior nuh shave nah trim

Tell di black woman she nah fi bleach har skin, hotter!

More life, more joy, and prosperity (More Prosperity)

Tell dem life, ain't no toy, di purety I live it in

Life goes on and on, on and on and on

Life a gwaan before di pagan born

Life goes on and on, on and on and on

All dem a many to plant their corn, yeah

Some love di bloody city housing scheme

Full inequity and kind dem too mean

Neva ride and drop off Rasta hice red and green

Dem shouldn't diss di Empress weh bright up light scene

I give dem honey babylon yuh give dem cream

Dat simply mean now yuh get burned by di steam

Yuh run gone fi gun and tun on siren

Darw heights di heights fi pure heart and clean

Lau di dutty water just go sip from di stream

Haile Selassie nuh dream Empress Diamond

More life, more joy, and prosperity (More Prosperity)

Tell dem life, ain't no toy, di purety I live it in

Life goes on and on, on and on and on

Life a gwaan before di pagan born

Life goes on and on, on and on and on

When dem gone dem still a plant more corn

Give thanks bloodstream has no end

Life is di heights nuh mislead life children

Bun all enemy bun out all friend

Nuh plastic smile and nuff a dem a heathen

Borrow fi lend nuh mek sense some mix fi blend

Tell dem di truth and hear some natty fi defend

Hail I Selassie place [? ]

Empress Inen hail I again and again, oh

More life, more joy, and prosperity (More Prosperity)

Tell dem life, ain't no toy, di purety I live it in

Life goes on and on, on and on and on

Life a gwaan before di pagan born

Life goes on and on, on and on and on

All dem a many to plant their corn, yeah

Life is here within; true love is all I bring

Now di dutty water children sip from di spring

Like wave Iyah swim, like message Iyah fling

Dem caan draw I out like nuh puppet pon a string

Yuh dutty livin, cho! get a lightnin

In this giddeon war I neva lose Iyah fi win

Warrior nuh shave nah trim

Tell di black woman she nah fi bleach har skin, hotter!

[Chorus:]

More life, more joy, and prosperity (More Prosperity)

Tell dem life, ain't no toy, di purety I live it in

Life goes on and on, on and on and on

Life a gwaan before di pagan born

Life goes on and on, on and on and on

All dem a many to plant their corn, yeah
