Don't Blame It On Me

Itals · Other Songs - Itals

You should never keep any envy

Against your brother, sister,

Or even your greatest enemy

And if you do it, don't blame it on me,

Don't blame it on me, oh no

Don't blame it on me,

Don't blame it on me at all



Though I might be from worlds of poor

Back arise in poverty,

Jah Jah let them rule my destiny

'Cause I've never yet dipped my hand in iniquity

Don't blame it on me

Don't try to belittle me



So a one thing can so easy

And these are the words of prophecy

What will be is got to be

Don't blame it on me, don't blame it on me

I'm not of that quality

Don't blame it on me, don't blame it on me



Poverty 'cause people to live in misery

Sometime let them forget dem history

Tell them equal rights and justice stand for one and all

And I will never ever like to see my brethren fall

There's a long book of life

And it's wide open

And whosoever name is not written there

Whosoever name is not written there

Sorry for you oh yea

Sorry for you oh I yea

Don't blame it on me.

Don't try to belittle me.

So a one thing can so easy and these are

The words of prophecy

What will be is got to be

Don't blame it on me. Don't blame it on me;

I'm not of that quality

Don't blame it on me.

Don't blame it on me.
