Dem Haffi Runaway

Haile Selassie the first you known

Wicked man is a curse

Dem haffi runaway

Too much wickedness

Jah put a end to their days

There is no other way

If anuh Jah you praise

Den you surely shall fade, now

Dem haffi runaway

Too much wickedness

Jah put a end to their days

There is no other way

If anuh Jah you praise

You surely shall fade

They all shall confess

Eyes, knees and toes

Tongues and ears

Look at the things what they do

Dem dip dem garment in blood

Now dem DNA deh show

Dem nah set no standard

And now everybody know

Rastafari is a word

Is not no game no joke

Well nuff a pretend

As the days grow old

Retribution frustration

It start to come out

Famine Inna dem land

Di whole a dem Inna drought

Dem haffi runaway

Too much wickedness

Jah put a end to their days

There is no other way

If anuh Jah you praise

Den you surely shall fade, now

Dem haffi runaway

Too much wickedness

Jah put a end to their days

There is no other way

If anuh Jah you praise

You surely shall fade

Manipulate people is your satisfaction

Suh be careful in the wrong place

Wrong direction

And if you look far beyond

Have a mind of your own

You will look and you will see a way out

Too much confusion

Different religion

I don't want to get caught up

Into the justification

Long talks and debate

Yet we cyah get along

Doing Jah works will make me keep so fine

You see if our love was right

Those days were nice

Kids used to play

And grow up in the right way

Dem haffi runaway

Too much wickedness

Jah put a end to their days

There is no other way

If anuh Jah you praise

Den you surely shall fade, now

Dem haffi runaway

Too much wickedness

Jah put a end to their days

There is no other way

If anuh Jah you praise

You surely shall fade

But tell dem rastaman tek it seriously

Heathens a mock us

Deh pan deh laughing spree

I no see nutin

Because a Jah fuss mi see

Tell dem seh I be who I want to be

Praise his majesty

And set my soul free

No need for no grudge

Because it's all there to see

Nature so pure and so kind to me

How can I disagree, ye

Dem haffi runaway

Too much wickedness

Jah put a end to their days

There is no other way

If anuh Jah you praise

Den you surely shall fade, now

Dem haffi runaway

Too much wickedness

Jah put a end to their days

There is no other way

If anuh Jah you praise

You surely shall fade

You build a house and it tumble dung

You in a cave and run go weh

You build a house and it tumble dung

You build a cave and run go weh

Can't run from yourself

You can't run from yourself now

No!
