I've been away in another land, for over nine years.
Had to return to Jamaica now, to set my way clear.
I had to go to the embassy, to be interviewed by men of authority.
Who didn't want to see I go through,
So they did all that they could do, just to slow I down.
Harsh authority was impound,
So then I realise, I was bound in a jam down,
For so long, for so long,
For so long, so long, long, long, long.

You Mr. Consular man, how come you deh pon mi case so long?
I know deep in your heart,
You don't want to see me go through.
So you started to do, that which you do best,
Being a pest to I, being a pest to I.

You start by asking a whole lot of questions,
And even when you get the right answer,
You don't seem to be satisfy;
So you ask the same question again.
Thinking maybe I got no brain to know.
You want to kris cross my mind,
To use your immigration fine.

I didn't say nothing wrong, I didn't do nothing wrong,
You made your own clue,
Because you didn't want I to go, Mr. Consular Man.
Mr. Consular Man, how come you hold on to I man?

I didn't say nothing wrong, I didn't do nothing wrong,
You made your own clue,
Because you didn't want I to go, Mr. Consular Man.
Mr. Consular Man, how come you hold on to I man?

A lot of man try to sojourn the land,
And when they reach up to your hand,
All you do is spoil their plan,
I'm wondering if you are human?
Mr. Consular Man, oh Mr. Consular Man.
Mr. Consular Man, where is your humanitarian?
Next thing you start with your computer,
And so you start to type I a letter,
Everything was in your favour,
You also had a faulty behaviour.
Mr. Consular Man, oh Mr. Consular Man.
Mr. Consular Man, how come you hold on pon I man?

You Mr. Consular man, how come you deh pon mi case so long?
I know deep in your heart
You don't want to see me go through.
Mr. Consular Man..
