Lyrics

Why are you so ungrateful?
You nuh see that Jah give we life after all
Check yourself before you wreck yourself
Me see that Jah, Jah give we life after all
Still none a dem nuh give no thanks at all
Dem think dem a rise me see dem a fall
Fall dem a fall, fall dem a fall
How long you want to go run away?
Run away from yourself
You nuh see that truth ago reveal
And every day you got to pray
Well, that you fi go do
And make your life one a the real
How you fi expect love?
And you still a glorifie the gun
How you want clarity
If acoke you nuh stop bun?
Your dirty lifestyle nuh
Give you no way to turn
You still nuh realize
That you wrong
After you come out of your church
You beat your baby mother down
And then you tell her you're sorry
But your head did full a rum
She couldn't tek your excuse
And your flattering tongue
That's why she left you today
And still a ask
How long you want to go run away?
Run away from yourself
You nuh see that truth ago reveal
And every day you got to pray
Well, that you fi go do
And make your life one a the real
Dem say dem a the dolphin
But me see dem a the shark
Dem stand ina the spotlight
And live in the dark
Claim say dem grounded
But me see dem a skylark
So to me
Dem can't talk
In this time and this ages
Man hafi be smart
Think before you talk
And watch the road wha' you a walk
From you look ina your conscience
You can't miss the mark
And make a joyful sound
Unto the Lord
How long you want to go run away?
Run away from yourself
You nuh see that truth ago reveal
And every day you got to pray
Well, that you fi go do
And make your life one a the real
Nuff a dem me
See dem can teach
Dem hufi go back a school
So a no me dem can teach
A fi dem dirty talk
Dem call it freedom of speech
Me wonder who
Dem try reach
Righteousness uno fi go check it
Golong and do some good ina
Your life wickedness uno fileft it
Clean heart always will make it
And from you see a chance ina your life
You better take it nuh reject it
