Speak Life

I pray thee, I pray thee Once again I wonder if you're surrounded by ones of such talent, ya know Speak life Live a humble and meek life Ordinary day of the week life Try to search and seek life Way up Keep your head up and stay up Even when you sore and pain love Never giving up till its game up Keep your aim up And focus Don't concentrate on what's bogus Never sell out for a bonus Handle your biz like grown ups Own up It's amazing The way Jah fire keeps blazing That's why I constantly praise him For some of them it's a phase thing So they're gazing On the street lights Till dem go catch up in street fights Cause are pretending they're street wise And put an end to a brief life I feel like It's a mystery How we can keep repeating our history Making the same mistakes as our ancestry Seems like all of life lessons missed we It's risky So give praises One day you may find your oasis Rise up to the challenge you're faced with Be hopeful and creative You'll make it It's basics People been doin' it for ages In many other cultures and places On a regular basis There's so many cases Let's face it Way too much time has been wasted Building military bases Fighting our war with no bases Life is sacred An' every bare people naked Some of 'em nah gwaan like dem risk big And don't care what they making They can't take it So speak life, man All this darkness don't feel right man --- Speak Life - Damian Marley
