[Intro:]
Haili king selassie bless I
Having my ways and I've seen your days
Sing it and have it set a nasty craze
So I reach a state

Cah this is my, art and life, art and life

[Verse 1:]
Tell dem fi cool cah man a ragga ragga
Tell dem a school man a carry dem inna
Moses rule with di ancient dagger
Mi seh eyes a rasta man rise selassie banner
From mi a yute reggae music mi inna
Tell yuh di truth nuh other work mi nuh prefer
Can't change bulb nor mi caan patch tire
But yuh hand mi a mic di whole dance ketch a fire
Hear dagger tune weh di dj a mutter
As a ghetto yute rise up and stop suffer
Driving a path fancy yuh fall down mi ladder
But instead a man a go ban mi rise up fi di better
And his funeral mi seh

[Chorus:]
Art and life, art and life, art and life

Show lord that we can all just get along
Be strong and help another brother man

Height on that ghetto yute ya look upon
Clean heart and good meditation

[Verse 3:]
Question to di world(ask dem)
And I seh who is gonna be my friend
Through thick and thin to di end
Less I be a vessel for di word
Equal rights and justice
Some neva get rid a nicely done
All man shall reap what they sow
All what big man boast all baby should know
Big freestyle now
I'm not gonna move and go slow
Ask you a question and take it down low
Why say that now
Having my ways and I've seen your days
Sing it and have it set a nasty craze
Now I reach a state
Turn a new page
Stand by me and help I sing a song like this

[Outro:]
Art and life, art and life, art and life
Art and life, art and life art and life...
