Why worry about them, when we can pray them off
Leave them before the eyes of Jah
Why worry about them, when we can pray them off
You have got lot of things to do
Why worry about them, when we can pray them off
Take your burden to Jah
Why worry about them, when we can pray them off

There is no need to sit down, crying yourself to a frazzle
Resting your hands and your jaw (not sure)
Telling and showing the world that you are considering And from the time you know you are doing
nothing wrong before the eyes of Jah...
Then there are lot of things you can sit and talk with Jah about

Why worry about them, when we can pray them off
The longest liver (a person who lives longer) will see the most
Why worry about them, when we can pray them off

If at all you're being forsaken by your mother
Daddy don't want to see you around the house because
of your dreadlocks at all
But if then before the eyes of Jah you know you're doing
nothing that is wicked
To your brothers and sisters...

Then you know you are free within yourself
Free to love one another

Why worry about them, when we can pray them off
Lord
Why worry about them, when we can pray them off

Every day you get up sit down fretting yourself, slander like a train
And the feature of a dopey doesn't lie in the coffin but it lay in him

Why worry about them, when we can pray them off
Brothers and sisters
Why worry about them, when we can pray them off

If at all you're being forsaken by your mother
Daddy don't want to see you around the house because
of your dreadlocks at all
But from deep within you know you have got sweet love
in your heart for all
All you have got to do is
Must stop and give thanks and praise
Hear me when I say hey hey

Why worry about them, when we can pray them off
Why worry, why worry
Why worry about them, when we can pray them off
There is no need for them
Why worry about them, when we can pray them off
