Runaway

Why are you so ungrateful
You nuh see that Jah give we life after all
Check yourself before you wreck yourself ya mon

Me see that Jah Jah give we life after all
Still none a dem nuh give no thanks at all
Dem thinks 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 a go reveal
And every day you gotta pray, well that you fi go do
And make your life one a the real
How long you want to go run away
Run away from yourself you nuh see that truth a go reveal
And every day you gotta pray
You gotta pray, you gotta pray

Question, how you fi expect love and you still a glorify the gun
You want clarity if acoke you nuh stop bun
Affi your dirty lifestyle nuh give you no way fi 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 full ah rum
She couldn't take 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 a go reveal
And every day you gotta pray, well that you fi go do
And make your life one a the real
How long you want to go run away
Run away from yourself you nuh see that truth a go reveal
And every day you gotta pray
You gotta pray, you gotta pray

Say dem a the dolphin but me see dem a the shark
Dem stand inna the spotlight and live inna di dark
Claim say dem grounded but me see dem a skylark
So to me dem can't talk
In dis time and dis ages man haffi be smart
Think before you talk and watch the road wha' you a walk
From you look inna 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 a go reveal
And every day you gotta pray, well that you fi go do
And make your life one a the real
How long you want to go run away
Run away from yourself you nuh see that truth a go reveal
And every day you gotta pray
You gotta pray, you gotta pray

'Nough a dem we see said dem nah practicing what dem ah preach
Dem haffi 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 inna your life wickedness uno fileft it
Clean heart always will make it
And from you see a chance inna your life
You better take it nuh reject it

Me see that Jah Jah give we life after all
Still none a dem nuh give no thanks at all
Dem thinks dem a rise me see dem a fall
Fall dem a fall, fall dem a fall

Well that you fi go do, well that you fi go do
