If Only Songtext
von Tippa Irie

If only
If only the world was a better place
If only this, if only that
If only Austin and Kofi
Woulda, coulda, shoulda

We sing say if only people wouldn′t be so unfair
If only people woulda make themselves clear
And if only people would be more sincere
And spread more love inna the atmosphere
We say if only people wouldn't be so unfair
If only people woulda make themselves clear
And if only people would be more sincere
And spread more love inna the atmosphere


Well me want everybody just take me advice
I was born to save the world like Jesus Christ
And the world couldn′t be so beautiful and nice
But everybody cold like ice
And me sing say
Mr. Irie deh yah, well me deh yah with a blessing
Blessing yes me come yah with a serious lesson
Lesson well me come yah so fi live and let live
And deal with the positive and not negative

I said if only people wouldn't be so unfair
If only people woulda make themselves clear
And if only people would be more sincere
And spread more love inna the atmosphere
Me say if only people wouldn't be so unfair
If only people woulda make themselves clear
If only people would be more sincere
And spread more love inna the atmosphere

It′s a positive vibe I bring
Each and every time Mr. Irie I sing
You know that the tipper when me want some peace
And all of the war and crime haffi cease
And me hear inna Iraq down in the Middle East
I said it′s like them have the mark of the beast
Well lawyer and doctor, Indian chief
Me said the people them want some relief


And me sing say if only people wouldn't be so unfair
If only people woulda make themselves clear
I said if only people would be more sincere
And spread more love inna the atmosphere
Me say if only people wouldn′t be so unfair
If only people woulda make themselves clear
I said if only people would be more sincere
And spread more love inna the atmosphere

Because me want my people them fi change fi the better
Not everybody can be a trendsetter
Like me and all of my dancehall crew
Always coming up with something new
'Cause I wish my people them would stick together
Give we more strength it woulda give we more power
Fi strong like a ox, not soft like a flower
And tipper say each and every hour

And me sing say if only people wouldn′t be so unfair
If only people woulda make themselves clear
I said if only people would be more sincere
And spread more love inna the atmosphere
Me say if only people wouldn't be so unfair
If only people woulda make themselves clear
I said if only people would be more sincere
And spread more love inna the atmosphere

′Cause me want everybody fi take my advice
If only people them woulda think twice
The world could be so beautiful and nice
But everybody cold like ice
And me sing say
Mr. Irie deh yah, me deh yah with the blessing
Tipper Irie deh yah with a serious lesson
Lesson well me deh yah for fi live and let live
And deal with the positive and not negative

Me say if only people wouldn't be so unfair
If only people woulda make themselves clear
I said if only people would be more sincere
And spread more love inna the atmosphere
