[Verse 1]
Why cry when you can smile?
Why worry when you got life?
Why stress out yourself over battles weh you can beg di Almighty God fight?
A nuff nuh eat last night
Nuff get lef' inna di past life
Nuff nuh have it and a gwan hype
But from mi have life
Yo JB

[Verse 2]
Mi heart clean, mi nuh have nuh bad ways
Mi nuh have cancer, mi nuh have AIDS
Mi nuh have no money inna mi pocket, but mi wake up this morning so me haffi give thanks and praise, yeah
Man got whole heap of haters
But mi nuh care because mi have di Creator
Mi got good friends and family
And mi know say that greatеr

[Chorus]
So why worry when you can pray
When you can pray
Hold a prayer, hold a fast, еnuh
Cut off di crosses
So why worry when you can pray
When you can pray
Ooh

[Verse 3]
Man see di fight inna dem face and dem dutty lips say me nah make it
But if God say this a fi me, then who the hell is you fi a talk 'bout say me can't get it
Mi stay inna mi lane (Stay inna mi lane)
'Cause mi work fi me tings and mi don't need your credit
Nuff of unuh too worthless and too beggy-beggy
Fight 'gainst youth when unuh ready

[Chorus]
But why...when you can pray

Hold a prayer, hold a fast, enuh
Cut off di crosses

Ooh

When you can pray
Hold a prayer, hold a fast, enuh
Cut off di crosses
So why worry when you can pray
When you can pray
Ooh
