But guess what? It's alright!
A nuff a dem a come up and a push up dem snout
But guess what? It's alright!
Even when dem call mi name from way down the lane
It's alright!
Mi know a Jah shine the sun and a him fall the rain
It's alright!

I no listen to wa pagans have to say
If a dem alone mi wouldn't have a happy day
Done sight up the evil weh dem mark yuh straight
Waan box the food from the natty plate
So dem no waan si wi rise, tell yo bout the pestilent
So hark in a night yea
Dem a work hard fi rejoice
Never speak the truth yet
Cause dem heart full a lies
Nuff a dem a come up and a run up dem mouth
But guess what? It's alright!
A nuff a dem a come up and a push up dem snout
But guess what? It's alright!
Even when dem call mi name from way down the lane
It's alright!
Mi know a Jah shine the sun and a him fall the rain
It's alright!

Wi tell yuh from the beginning
Wi tell yuh from the start
If wi never positive dem wouldn't have nothing fi talk
Wi tell dem to be genuine
Wi tell dem to be smart
If that wasn't enough, we show dem where to walk
Wi tell dem fi clean up dem levity
Leave out vanity and keep out humanity
Tell dem love should be prosperity
And stop endorse in imasitty
Nuff a dem a come up and a run up dem mouth
But guess what? It's alright!
A nuff a dem a come up and a push up dem snout
But guess what? It's alright!
Even when dem call mi name from way down the lane
It's alright!
Mi know a Jah shine the sun and a him fall the rain
It's alright!
