Some a take money and make big enemies
While i man take love and make good friend
Some are stick in pocket

Listen me carefully lets live in love and I-nity




for anything you do Jah see

Overall Meaning

The lyrics suggest that the latter approach is the right one, and that it is important to treat others with kindness and understanding in order to achieve freedom and unity.


The repeated refrain of "let's live in love and unity" drives home the central message of the song, which is that we should all work together to create a world where love and peace prevail. The lyrics also emphasize the importance of doing the right thing, even when it is difficult, and of recognizing that we are all part of the same human family. Overall, "Love and Unity" is a powerful call for people to come together and work towards creating a better world for everyone.

https://youtu.be/Gn2FO-6FXLI?t=1945 you will understand and appreciate the magic of these 3 minutes.
pay good attention to the details of perfomance: 
facial expression, gestures, what and how ardent he sings - inspite of visibly painful movement of the body.
observe his smile when he finishes singing at the end of the song
and while breathing out how he returns from the beyond/transcendence of performing to this world.
watch the change of his facial and bodily expression how all the weight of suffering is within a second coming down upon him again.
yet: what does he say just a second later? "life is beautiful".

this was his very last performance, two months later he was dead.
at this time he was very much aware of his prognose turning from dim to black out.

watch again having this in mind and consider to take a bow to the greatness of this truthful and meek man. 

(the live performance was mixed by the scientist himself, this is why the sonic excellence.)

There are many of songs in the world, but this one is the most true down to earth, honest, humble and pure meditation, mixed with style. Aaaaaaa

So true. Love and feel this song from the bottom of my heart ❤️💛💚

David Marr

These tracks from Mr Prophet work so well with Scientists mixing. I love Johnny Osbournes too but just something about Michaels voice makes each one quality in my opinion. The vocals are good in their own right as well of course.

Allan Taipalus

Dont forget the Roots Radics backing band :)

Agreed man I can't think of anyone I'd rather hear over a Scientist tune than Mr Prophet.
