My Pen

[Intro]

This is Buju Banton and I've got something special to say

With my dear friend, who is my pen

Ooh Lord

Ooh right, yeah

Woo

[Chorus]

Hear I go again

Just me and my pen

I'm without a friend

They have all turned and gone and left me

Now on my lonesome journey a few things in life concern me

What is life?

The other is how we live it?

Yeah ah ah

[Verse 1]

Uncle Bob say, "Time will tell"

We may not read and write so well

Our senses are elevated within

Aw, they could not fool him

Woe be on to those who despise

Jealous ones will always criticize

Is that life?

Is that the way to live it?

Yeah ah ah

Words has its boundaries

Sky has no limit

Be the best in life

Rule everything in it

Let no one stand in your way

There's just one law to obey

That's morality

And protect your sanity

Aw aw aw

[Chorus]

Hear I go again

Just me and my pen

I'm without a friend

They have all turned and gone and left me

Upon my lonesome journey a few things in life concern me

What is life?

The other is how we live it?

Woah oh oh oh

[Verse 2]

And when all is gone and everything becomes clear

What's it all about?

Is it fortune or fame?

There is justice, equality, and our human rights

I'm sick and tired of watching our children pay the price

Lord, Lord, Lord

They cry a silent tear

And I wonder if they hear

I wonder if they care

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

[Chorus]

Hear my goals again

Just me and my pen

I am without a friend

They have all turned and gone and left me

Now on my lonesome journey a few things in life console me

What is life?

The other is how you live it?

[Verse 1]

Uncle Bob say, "Time will tell"

I may not read and write so well

My senses are elevated within

Aw, they could not fool I

Woe be on to those who despise

Why deny I of my rights?

Is that right?

Is that the way to live it?

[Verse 2]

And when all is gone and everything becomes clear

What's it all about?

Who God?

Is it fortune or fame?

There is justice, equality, and our human rights

We are sick and tired of watching our children pay the price

They cry a silent tear

And I wonder if you care

I wonder if you care

[Outro]

Hear I go again

Just me and my pen

I am without a friend

They have all turned and gone, left me

Upon my lonesome journey a few things in life...
