Lyrics to Dirty House by Messenjah Selah

The righteous haffi flow.
Just like the living stream.
Keep your heart clean.

There’s a place for you in Zion.
If you keep your mind free from their corruption.
If your heart is clean.
You’re one with nature and The Supreme Being.
Keep your heart clean.
Dirty house Jah nah live in.
You’re one with nature and The Supreme Being.
So keep your heart clean.
Dirty house Jah nah live in.

Anyone who fight against you, I know they’re not clean.
They could never win, them a play pon the devil team.
No worry or fret about the unseen.
Jah will be there in your going out and coming in.
The righteous haffi flow like the river stream.
The wicked must burn and melt like ice cream.
Victory shall be yours!
If you live straight and not lean.

Live clean!
You’re one with nature and The Supreme Being.
Keep your heart clean.
Dirty house Jah nah live in.
If your heart is clean.
You’re one with nature and The Supreme Being.
Keep your heart clean.
Dirty house Jah nah live in.

What you give you surely shall receive.
Some only get close just to deceive.
Your downfall they’re trying to achieve.
So mi burn what them got up dem sleeve.
Evil works only make The Father grieve.
When the light come darkness haffi leave.
Don’t make them twist you like weave.
BETTER TO KNOW THAN TO BELIEVE.

If your heart is clean.
You’re one with nature and The Supreme Being.
Keep your heart clean.
Dirty house Jah nah live in.
If your heart is clean.
You’re one with nature and The Supreme Being.
Keep your heart clean.
Dirty house Jah nah live in.

What you’re saying means nothing if your works cannot be seen.
Give a helping hand to your fellow human being.
Anyone who truly loves always trying to esteem.
Not because you chant Rastafari, that no mean say your heart is clean.

Live clean!
Be one with nature and The Supreme Being.
Keep your heart clean.
Dirty house Jah can’t live in.
If your heart is clean.
You’re one with nature and The Supreme Being.
Keep your heart clean.
Dirty house Jah caan live innnnnnnnnnn!

A heart of love.
You’ve got to have a heart of love.
A heart of love.
For every man.
A heart of love.
For every woman.
A heart of love.
