(Intro:)
Ah me say things get bitter in the west
We have to head to the east
Ah you done know Sizzla Kalongi ever bless
You see it, you see it Selassie I ah prince of peace

(Chorus:)
Tell you just be nice and live it up me nah lie
Rejoice and praise Rastafari
Just be nice and live it up me nah lie
Rejoice and praise Rastafari

(Verse: 1)
Some fighting for power when love lead the multitude
Every second every hour children calling out for food
They want to go to school in clean clothes and pretty shoes
Give us now because mama says promise is a comfort to a fool
Teach them to love them one another love stop them from killing of each other
Follow the words of your fathers and your mothers to hurt yourself I tell you don't you bother
Hey!

(Chorus:)
Just be nice and live it up me nah lie
Rejoice and praise King Selassie I
I tell you just be nice and live it up me nah lie
Even though it hard them nah cry

(Verse: 2)
The word is out, how them so hype them friend ah tell them things
And from foreign, them glad them friend ah send them things
Ey youth be humble don't bad mind them for them things
You work for what you want that's the powers of the King Ok
Poor people facing things such bad position
Don't you worry; most high will make your provision
Them hungry and them dirty, Hey look how me tan
My heart clean so me know say me strong

(Chorus:)
Tell them say
Rejoice and praise Rastafari
Just and live it up me nah lie

Some don't have nothing for eat so them go loot and rob
I rather trod for east and satisfy with the little we me have

Be nice and live it up me nah lie
Just be nice Kalonji say ah more life
