Lyrics to Tell Me How Come :
If it wasnt for Rastafari, I-I-I, would have no chance to survive, Oh, let us take a look around, see whats goin down
Yo
Tell me how come so many people here in Jamaica still abide Rasta-Tell me how come,down a East West dem neva can Beenei Man but dem Can Sizzla
Tell me how come, people a suffer out a street-Nuff nuh seem to love the Prime Minister
Tell me how come, those in power dont seem to care
[CHORUS:]
Its cause life is so unfair, in this sweet paradise, and this is what we swear, "Out Of Many One People", Can you seem to see that anywhere, Everyone treated equal,and this is why,So many die,leavin so many to cry
Tell me how come, There's so much guns in the street and none of dem guns ya neva make ya
Tell me how come Aids is spreading wide taking over this sewwt paradise of Jamaica
Tell me how come, the dollar value is going down, and everythings going up around town
Tell me how come Bogle had to get gunned down
[CHOURS:]
Its cause life is so unfair, in this sweet paradise, and this is what we swear, "Out Of Many One People", Can you seem to see that anywhere, Everyone treated equal-and this is why,So many die,leavin so many to cry
Tell me how come, the youths dem Downtown can't recieve the education like the youths dem Uptown
Tell me howcome Jacure deh a jail and the prosecution always knew the sentence shouldnt be there
Tell me how come,so mu hungry belly out a street, adn Bobylon a go-on like seh dem nuh see-it.
Tell me how come people see it and nah speak
[CHORUS]:
Its cause life is so unfair, in this sweet paradise, and this is what we swear, "Out Of Many One People", Can you seem to see that anywhere, Everyone treated equal-and this is why,So many die,leavin so many to cry
Life is so unfair (so unfair)
In this sewwt paradise
and this is what we swear(what we swear)
"Out Of Many One People", Can you seem to see that anywhere(anywhere)
Everyone treated equal-and this is why,So many die,leavin so many to cry.
Tell me why-
so many cry
