Ah if it wasn't for Rastafari
I ani would have no strength to survive
Aye, let us take a look around
(Take a look around)
See what going down

Tell me how come here in Jamacia
So many people still a fight Rasta
Tell me how come down East West
Dem a neva charge Beenie Man

But dem charge sizzla
Tell me how come people a support da street
Not enough to love the Prime Minister
Tell me how come those in power
Don't seem to care

It's cause life is so unfair
In this sweet Paradise
And this is what we swear
Out a many one people

Tell me can you see that any where
Everyone treated equal?
And this is why so many die
Leaving so many to cry

Tell me how come there's
So many guns in the street
An' none a dem gun neva make here
Tell me how come aids

This sweet Paradise of Jamacia

Tell me how cum in Canada

Going up around town
Tell me how cum bogle

It's cause life is so unfair
In this sweet Paradise
And this is what we swear

Tell me can you see that any where
Everyone treated equal?
And this is why so many die
Leaving so many to cry

Tell me how cum

Everyone treated equal?
And this is why so many die
Leaving so many to cry
