Oh Why Lyrics & Chords By Jah Vinci

When Im 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 Im 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 nuttn caah bring back Amanda Dean, yea
Dem tek mi medi when dem kill Shelly Belly now August Town a cry-iye.
Thats 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 Im 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 Im 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,
