If People Must Die

Today wi haffi hope and pray
Bad mind people and dem evilest ways
Hear say dem wan' mi dead inna di worst ways
Wan see mi whole body lay down ina grave
Buh dat a nuttin mi cyan hangle
See things different from anoda angle

All 'round time feelin like me gettin strangled
Haffi shute first for my life style dangle, 'pon di edge
Because anytime mi tink 'bout Gambo
I full up a pain and sorrow
So mi haffi ride on solo
'Nuf tears inna mi eyes like

Lord if people must die then why do we cry
'Cause I dun wan' feel it anymore, mi neva understand that yet
Lord if people must die then why do we cry
'Cause I dun wan' feel it anymore, mi neva understand that Lord

Look like them find the remedy
Wan assassinate mi like J.F Kenedy, problem
When dem a go find di energy
Friends kill Friends fi one bokkle of Hennessy
So as mi lay my head to rest
Pray to Jah he will protec

So as mi lay my head to sleep
Pray to Jah my soul to keep
How wha' do dem?
Mi nuh chill, mi nuh hangout
Read bible before see me sip wah Jah send out
Troublin times when a friend sell friend out
Anytime me see enuf, tears inna mi eyes like

Lord if people must die then why do we cry
'Cause I dun wan' feel it anymore, mi neva understand that yet
Lord if people must die then why do we cry
'Cause I dun wan' feel it anymore, mi neva understand that Lord

No matter how bad the situation
Wi always haffi give thanks to di holy Emmanuel I, king Selassie
Jah rastafari (Jah)

Dem say fire burn di pagans dem
Mi coulda never, ever be satan friend
Any bwoy wish me bad it a go worse 'pon dem
So take bad mind outta ya circumference Lord
Bad mind mi can't work wit dem
A cud die Hindu, Muslim or Christian
Inna any situation mi say always give thanks
