Sweet Jamaica lyrics

-P. Barrett-G Smith-

 

Sweet Jamaica man a I and I land that

Me no stop love it

And me know the whole massive love it

And them respect it to man, hear this

Help me big up Jamaica

The land of wood and water

The systems might no proper

But we love the vibes the food and the culture

Woi, can't you see

The beauty of this country

Me never know a serious thing

Until me reach a foreign

 

Chorus:

 

Say what a nice place fi live, sweet Jamdown

The only problem is, dollars nah run

What a nice place fi live, sweet Jamdown

The only problem is, dollars nah run

Now with the money inna you pocket

And God inna you heart

Crowd of people, what more you want

Reggae music a play, reggae artists a chant

A yah so me born and me nah transplant

 

Chorus

 

A man will let pon a banana boat

And him gone aboard

Because him say every weh better than yard

But when him touch certain countries

See the system of fraud

Him haffi run back a Jamdown

And give it its reward

 

Chorus

 

Yah so me born, yah so me come from

Yen so me live, and yah me intend fi tan

Regardless of the economic condition

You must admit this is a glorious land

 

Chorus

Help me big up Jamaica

The land of wood and water

The systems might no proper

But we love the vibes the food and the culture

Woi, can't you see

The beauty of this country

Me never know a serious thing

Until me reach a foreign

 

Chorus

 

As a Jamaican, my argument is

Whoever say them clever

Them fi stop the promises

And just, mass production

In all the parishes

And Jamdown will progress

Like all the countries

 

Chorus

 

Jamaica and Jamaicans are extremely great

Appreci-love and even some say appreciate

Well since we know that make we concentrate

On how fi make the dollars start circulate

 

Chorus

 

From money inna you pocket

And God inna you heart

Crowd of people, what more you want

Reggae music a play, reggae artists a chant

A yah so me born and me nah transplant

 

Chorus
