Runaway

Why are you so ungrateful

You nuh see that Jah gave we life after all

Check yourself before you wreck yourself

Yah mon

Me see that Jah Jah gave we life after all

Still none a dem nuh give no thanks at all

Dem thinks a dem a rise, me see dem a fall

Fall dem a fall, fall dem a fall

How long you wanna runaway?

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 long you wanna runaway?

Run away from yourself, you nuh see that truth ago reveal

And every day you got to pray, you got to pray

You got to pray

Question, how you fi expect love and you still a glorify the gun?

How you want clarity if a coke you nuh stop bun

Your dirty lifestyle nuh give you no way to turn

You still nuh realize that you're 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 take your excuse and your flattering tongue

That's why she left you today and still I ask

How long you wanna runaway?

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 long you wanna runaway?

Run away from yourself, you nuh see that truth ago reveal

And every day you got to pray, you got to pray

You got to pray

Dem say dem a the dolphin but me see dem a the shark

Dem stand in a 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 where you walk

And from you look in a your conscience

You can't miss the mark

And make a joyful sound unto the Lord

How long you wanna runaway?

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 long you wanna runaway?

Run away from yourself, you nuh see that truth ago reveal

And every day you got to pray, you got to pray

You got to pray

Nuff a dem me see dem nah practice what I'm a preach

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

Go long and do some good in a your life

Wickedness uno fileft it

Clean heart always will make it

And from you see a chance in a your life

You better take it, nuh reject it

Me see that Jah Jah gave we life after all

Still none a dem nuh give no thanks at all

Dem thinks a dem a rise me see dem a fall

Fall dem a fall, fall dem a fall

How long you wanna runaway?

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 long you wanna runaway?

Run away from yourself, you nuh see that truth ago reveal

And every day you got to pray, well that you fi go do

Well that you fi go do

How you fi expect love and you still glorify the gun?

How you want clarity if a coke you nuh stop bun

Your dirty lifestyle nuh give you no way to turn

You still nuh realize that you are wrong
