Shame about these rules
You say I cannot win
But no one here can choose
The color of their skin
Yes, I am black and you're white
Tell me what you see
If this is wrong and that is right
Baby, are you free?
Must I be strong if I want to live
Must I stay young if I want to live
Must I be strong if I want to live
Must I stay young if I want to live
Contaminated minds
Of this our generation
Are much too unkind
To feel God's creation
I and I Rastafari
You will feel it too
You know me what I think
Is what I mean to say
Must I be strong if I want to live
Must I stay young if I want to live
Must I be strong if I want to live
Must I stay young if I want to live
Yes, I'll live it up the most and just cruise, yeah
Yes, I'll live it up the most and just cruise, yeah
Must I be strong if I want to live
Must I stay young if I want to live
Must I be strong if I want to live
Must I stay young if I want to live
I'll live it up and just cruise
I'll live it up and just cruise
I'll live it up and just cruise
Must I, I
Must I, I
Must I be strong if I want to live
Must I be strong if I want to live
Must I be strong if I want to live
Must I be strong
