Ah, if it wasn't for Rastafari
(Rastafari)
I, and I would have no strength to survive
Ai, Let us take a look around
(Take a look around)
See what's going down
Yelalalai
Yo, tell me how come
Here in Jamaica so many people still love by Rasta
Tell me how come
Down a East Fest dem never charge Beenie Man but them charge Sizzla
Tell me how come
People are suffa out the Street
Nuff nuff people love the Prime Minista
Tell me how come
Those in power don't seem to care
It's cause life's so unfair
In this sweet paradise this is what we swear
Out of many one people can you see us see that anywhere
Everyone should be equal
And this is why so many die, leaving so many to cry
Tell me how come
There's so much guns in the streets
And none a dem gun de nevah meka
Tell me how come
AIDS is spreading wide taking over this sweet paradise of Jamaica
Tell me how come
The dollar value's going down
And everything's going up around town
Tell me how come
Bogle had to get gun down
Cause life's so unfair
In this sweet paradise this is what we swear
Out of many one people can you see us see that anywhere
Everyone should be equal
And this is why so many die, leaving so many to cry
Tell me how come
The youth dem downtown can't receive di education like the youth dem uptown
Tell me how come
Jah Cure da in the jail and the prosecutors know he's innocent and shouldn't be there
Tell me how come
Som much hungry belly out tha street
And Babylon they don't like so they don't see it
Tell me how come
People see it and not speak
Cause life's so unfair
In this sweet paradise this is what we swear
Out of many one people can you see us see that anywhere
Everyone should be equal
And this is why so many die, leaving so many to cry
Life is so unfair
(So unfair)
In this sweet paradise this is what we swear
Out of many one people can you see us see that anywhere
Everyone should be equal
And this is why (this is why) so many die, leaving so many to cry
(Tell me why it's so unfair)
