Gentlemen Last Runaway Lyrics

Runaway Lyrics

vers 1

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 



vers 2

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 



vers 3

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 



vers 4

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
