Why must all people (Why?)
Keep on shooting and robbing (Why?)
Why must must all people (Why?)
Keep on killing and fighting
No I, I and I would never try
Listen no, not I, I and I would never try

And why must the rich man (Why?)
Keep on hoarding all the money (Why?)
And why must this poor man, (Why?)
My living it ain't very funny
No I, I and I will would never try
Listen no, not I, I and I would never
Try to live that way!

[Guitar Solo]

No, not I, I and I would never try
Listen, No, not I, I and I would never
And what did Jah show dem
I and I survive
Every time
They tried to stop this nation but
I and I survive

To chant down creation
I and I survive
An Israeli nation
I and I

[Instrumental Break]

Try to live that way!

[Instrumental Break]

So why must I and I
Want each way
And why must I and I
Want each way
No I, not I, I and I will never try
Listen no, not I, I and I will never try

Without any money
I and I survive
Without any food to eat
I and I survive
Whaa aah ahh aye
Whaa aah ahh aye
Heeyy
Say I and I
Say I and I
I and I survive
Say I and I
Say I and I
I and I survive
[Instrumental Break]
