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 is spreading wide and taking ova this sweet Paradise of Jamacia
Tell me how cum in Canada it's going down
And everytings going up around town
Tell me how cum bogle had to get guned down

Its '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 cum de youths dem downtown can receive de education as the youths dem uptown
Tell me how cum Jah Cure inna jail and da prosecution no he's innocent and shouldn't be there
Tell me how cum so much hungry belly outa street
And Babylon a gwan act like dem na see it
How cum people see it an not speak

Its '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 why its so unfair
So many cry
My my
Oh oh yey yeah
