Gentleman Run Away Lyrics

Run Away 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:

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/



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:

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/



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
