Morgan Heritage - Tell Me How Come

Ah, if it wasn't for Rastafari (Rastafari)
I and I would have no strength to survive
Oh, let us take a look around (take a look around)
See what's going down.. why, why, why, why?
Yo!

Tell me how come, here in Jamaica
So many people still a fight Rasta
Tell me how come, down a EastFest
Dem neva charge Beenie Man but dem charge Sizzla
Tell me how come, people ah suffer out ah street
Nuff, nuff people 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
This is what we swear
"Out of many, one people"
Can you say you see that anywhere
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 deh neva mek ya
Tell me how come, AIDS is spreading wide
Taking over this sweet paradise of Jamaica
Tell me how come, the dollar value's going down (down)
And everything's going up around town (town)
Tell me how come, Bogle had to get gunned down

'Cause life is so unfair
In this sweet paradise
This is what we swear
"Out of many, one people"
Can you say you see that anywhere
Everyone treated equal?
And this is why so many die
Leaving so many to cry

Tell me how come, de youth dem downtown
Can't receive de education like de youth dem uptown
Tell me how come, Jah Cure deh ah jail
And de prosecution know he's innocent and shouldn't be there
Tell me how come so much hungry belly outta street
And Babylon a gwaan like seh dem nuh see it
Tell me how come people see it an' nah speak

'Cause life is so unfair
In this sweet paradise
This is what we swear
"Out of many, one people"
Can you say you see that anywhere (anwhere)
Everyone treated equal?
And this is why (this is why)
So many die (so many die)
Leaving so many to cry

Life is so unfair (so unfair)
In this sweet paradise
This is what we swear (what we swear)
"Out of many, one people"
Can you say you see that anywhere
Everyone treated equal?
And this is why (this is why)
So many die (so many die)
Leaving so many to cry

Tell me why its so unfair
Soooo many cry
My, my..
Oh, oh.. yey yeah..
