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

Chorus:

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 babymother 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

Chorus

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

Chorus:

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

cleanheart always will make it

and from you see a chance ina your life

you better take it nuh reject it
