Nuff people come to Jamaica
And nuh know how we live think seh
Everything nice through we full of vibes and think
Hey, hey, dem say want feelin' to dem heart
When dem get fi overstand di real thing, yeah

Mi deh ya a town one day
A par with a white man weh come all the way from Norway
And him turn to mi and say
How comes Jamaica full of so much screwface
Same time mi lift mi head to the sky
And a tear drop fall from mi eye
Mi say my youth come we go out for a drive
Mek mi show you why mi cry

Look 'pon di gully side
Do you see anything fi smile 'bout?
Look at that hungry child
Do you see anything fi smile 'bout?
Look at the school weh deh youth dem go fi get dem education
Do you see anything fi smile 'bout?
Look at the conditions of our police stations
