Verse 1
My life is full of questions
I'm still searching for answers
Mi walk every nook and cranny
Ask mi grandpa and granny
Some say they've been to school
But often times were still a fool
Teacher sey fi put up your hand
When you want to ask a question
...beg you pardon maam
Chorus
How comes you never have a ghetto yet inna uptown?
How comes a black man get a name like Mr. Brown?
How comes the sun is always up but still it's shining down?
How comes you want to be forever young?
Verse 2

Mi waan know a wah mek you a fight 'gainst everything wha Jah mek?
You've got to answer every last word, you blinking bastard.
Chorus
Verse 3

A weh yuh get yuh easter, yuh damn dutty cheese and buns?

To burn the nerds and the bums
