I Wonder
Sizzla Lyrics

Oh my Lord be my shield, I ask of thee
I ask for protection from evil in the world.

I know they still have some evil purpose in mind
There are people who want to harm me.

Want to hurt me
These people want to cause me harm.

I wonder if I will live
I am unsure if I will survive.

Living in this world of conflicts and sorrows
The world is a place of strife and pain.

Bodies lie cold
There are dead people.

As gunmen strike bold
Gunmen act with confidence.

And the wicked people work
Evil people are active.

Is taking off like an arrow
Their activity is quickly increasing.

I'm not afraid to die, but to live until death
I am not afraid of dying, but I fear a life of suffering.

It's not hard for you to guess
This is easy to understand.

What will happen next
I do not know what will happen.

Heartaches and pain, works of ungodliness
Suffering is the result of wicked deeds.

Some nuh know why dem a live
Some people do not understand the reason for their existence.

That's when them have to hurt the flesh
In such cases, people may cause harm to themselves or others.

But who are they
Who are these people causing harm?

Tell me what they represent
What is the motivation behind their actions?

I struggle with fear as I experience
I am afraid as I deal with these people.

How them do them dirty works which I resent
I dislike the malicious things these people do.

And no one but them a go face the consequence
Only they will have to deal with the outcome of their actions.

Them build walls instead of bridges, of ridicule
These people make things worse through mocking and division.

Then war with whom they live, like a fool
They fight with those that they should work with.

Ah, where you water full
What is the source of your abundance?

'Cause the vessel of the inequity
Their actions involve unfairness.

Never yet full
They are never satisfied.

That burning concern is no longer there
The worry is gone.

There filled with the medicine
They have found a solution.

When Babylon prepare
Things are becoming hostile.

Instruments of cruelty present everywhere
There is violence all around.

Strong enough to take the life
Their power is enough to kill.

But not enough to care
Yet they lack compassion.

As the road gets dark, I expect anything
I am prepared for anything to happen.

I know not my enemies
I do not know who opposes me.

So it leave me wondering
This leaves me confused.

Many life was lost, who is the next victim
People have died before me; who will be next?

It could be you, it could be I
Anyone could be next.

Through how them set the system
This is because of the unfair systems in place.

Them kill without a cause, what is the meaning
They kill with no justification.

So no one knows what tomorrow may bring
No one can predict the future.

They are filled with corruption and selfishness
These people are immoral and self-centered.

Overload with bitterness and wrath
They are full of anger and resentment.

So I have to seek to keep myself away
I must stay away from them.

From the wicked on the roads they walk
These people are wicked and cause harm wherever they go.

Oh yes, them sow seed of conflict
They create situations that lead to conflict.

Them wan fi see mi trick
They want to deceive and outsmart me.

But na go fester my heart
I will not let this bother me.

Because I dwell inna Jah sight
I am guided by my faith in God.

Man do what is right
I will do what is morally sound.

Don't want it to be said that I never pay my part
I want to make a positive impact.

Many ride with enemies
Many people associate with harmful people.

And I am my brother's keeper
I have a responsibility to help others.

What have I done
Have I made a difference?

They no want to see me prosper
These people do not want me to succeed.

Push on this load as them make it heavier
Despite the difficulty, I will continue to work hard.

Jaf, is only sorrow the wicked have to offer
Evil deeds only bring about pain and suffering.
