[Verse 1:]
Well pree dis...
How soh much fish deh yah like seh a sea dis
And pree dis
Dem cuda hear dat and wah seh me dis
Well pree dis
See a Bible yah gwan go read dis
And tell me weh yuh see
Seh you fu give a man yuh pe-eh eh
No sah da Jamaica
Me cya believe dis
A find helpless pickney a cuda we dis
No murder nah commit a St. Kitts and Nevis
But we a gwaan like seh we a Islamic extremist
Low me nuh officer afta da nuh speed dis
How you a gwan soh and is a draw weed dis
Alright den nuh seh notin
Hold dis is a G dis
Yuh face still mek up alright a tree dis
Wait... di counrty a mash up how we a go treat dis
If we unite we know we can defeat dis
Becah a full time we bring back di sweetness
Until Jamaica give we diabetes

[Chorus:]
Becah di economy poor
And di crime rate high
But a Jamaica still a we yaad
Yo me nuh know bout you

Dem ting deh nuh fi gwaan inna me yaad
Wah me seh things not great
But we must hold di faith
Although time so hard
Me seh we haffi try set it
We nah run lef it

[Verse 2:]
Well bear dis
Come mek we pretend is like seh is a election year dis
And everybody try find a betta way fu stear dis
Cah if we continue soh tourist will fear dis
And nobody nah go wah come near dis
Well hear dis
Jamaica we cya move soh we a live too careless
Nuff prayer a send up mek di Almighty spear dis
Well Jamaica him a test we
We cya fail dis
Him goodly take it back so do nuh mek him send a bailiff
Me kick back pon di beach and me a sip a Baileys
And me a memba how much hurricane and how much near miss
But we crime rate mek we feel like we deh pan death row
Is like is a electirc chair dis

[Chorus:]
Becah di ecomonic poor
And di crime rate high
But a Jamaica still a we yaad
Yo me nuh know bout you
But me sure bout me
Dem ting deh nuh fi gwaan inna me yaad
Wah me seh things not dead
But we must hold di faith
Although time so hard
Me seh we haffi try set it
We nah run lef it
Jamaica still a we yaad

[Outro:]
Ey yo

Jamrock, weh kinda rock
Trust me is a diamond (diamond)
Me nah run lef ya and go noweh
Me nah try offa Philippense
Me nah try offa Thailand (no)
Becah Jamaica a mi island
Fi lef ya come in like mi tek sea ova dry land (dry land)
