Gentleman - Runaway - original lyrics

Why are you so ungrateful You nuh see that Jah give we life after all Check yourself before you wreck yourself Me see that Jah Jah give we life after all Still none a dem nuh give no thanks at all Dem think dem a rise me see dem a fall Fall dem a fall - fall dem a fall [[Chorus:]] How long you want to go run away Run away from yourself you nuh see that truth ago reveal And every day you got to pray - well that you fi go do And make your life one a the real How you fi expect love and you still a glorifie the gun How you want clarity if acoke you nuh stop bun Your dirty lifestyle nuh give you no way to turn You still nuh realize that you wrong After you come out of your church you beat your babymother down And then you tell her you're sorry but your head did full a rum She couldn't tek your excuse and your flattering tongue That's why she left you today and still a ask [[Chorus]] Dem say dem a the dolphin but me see dem a the shark Dem stand ina the spotlight and live in the dark Claim say dem grounded but me see dem a skylark So to me dem can't talk In this time and this ages man hafi be smart Think before you talk and watch the road wha' you a walk From you look ina your conscience you can't miss the mark And make a joyful sound unto the Lord [[Chorus]] Nuff a dem me see dem can teach Dem hufi go back a school so a no me dem can teach A fi dem dirty talk dem call it freedom of speech Me wonder who dem try reach Righteousness uno fi go check it Golong and do some good ina Your life wickedness uno fileft it Cleanheart always will make it And from you see a chance ina your life You better take it nuh reject it
