Oh Why

Jah Vinci

When I’m down Jah lift mi up

Anytime mi thirst’ yuh fill ma cup

Ghetto yute nah give up no way

Seh wi nah give up nooo

When I’m down Jah lift mi up

Anytime mi thirst’ yuh fill ma cup, yea

Seh mi nah give up no way, seh mi nah give up

Mi say a nuff time mi trials

Dem try wul mi dung

Dem fren pass and gone and a clear di down

But mi nah guh play di dumb

Big like dem share di gun, a play wid gun

Seh mi fi buss it pon di lady son

Gun dem shell ina dem house, him a chase it dung

While mi a run up and dung wen the cops a come

Blood a run, another nine night come

She dash weh clothes fi har son while dem blood up

But har son guh ask Jah

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why

Tell me why-iy-iy

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why,

Tell me why-iye

From week she a work while Friday a dinner

Why the boss bwoy a hide wid di pay

Di side dem twist har

She waah mek di money just fi buy some food fi di famil-aaay

Hurt mi heart yah now fi haffi hear dis

12 o clock a night she tek di taxi was di latest

Acting so pleasant good night dat was a dear miss

Neva know di bwoy a rapist now the daughter haffi hear dis

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why,

Tell me why-iy-iy

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why,

Mi nuh waah fi be anodda yute inna di Gideon

Hearing anodda voice, singing anodda song

Hoping one day it wont be long, when Jah will stop all di sufferation

Mi see another mom wid shattered dream cuz nutt’n caah bring back Amanda Dean, yea

Dem tek mi medi when dem kill Shelly Belly now August Town a cry-iye.

That’s why,

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why,

Tell me why-iy-iy

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why,

When I’m down Jah lift mi up ,

Anytime mi thirst yuh fill ma cup

Ghetto yute naah give up no way

Seh we nah give up no

When I’m down jah lift mi up

Anytime mi thirst yuh fill ma cup, yea

Seh mi nah give up no way, seh mi nah give up

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why,

Tell me why-iy-iy

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why,
