Lyrics Savanna - Jonathan Emile

Savanna

Geeze
Weh mi deh?
In Savanna
Gunshot corruption smell a marijuana
Badman carry llama
Fi dead all di drama
Mi deh in Savanna
Chant down Babylon still big up to Obama
We have nuff baby mamas
Kerosine gasoline fire pon di corner
Weh mi deh?
In Savanna
Rastaman selling fresh coconut wata
Greed and poverty still dem wan brata
Global warming di summer getting hotter
Same grind a new flex
A suh it go — no bother get vex
Hail mi pon Digicel no bother with di text
Di gyal dem bad you n’a remember your ex
Oh.
Welcome to Savanna
We deh in Savanna
England Canada US a deport dem
Students a workin pon di resort dem
Hotel fi pay education
Honest hustle fi escape di situation
Welcome to Savanna
Where wi deh?
In Savanna
Foreigner thinking all we do is chill
Taxi, minibus shuttle to Negril
Ay, Jerk pon di grill
Blood spill
We love Jamaica still yo
Welcome to Savanna
Politician don false righteous men
Bulletproof Land Rover a escort dem
Government policy it nah reach
Pastors nah practice wha dem preach
Talking ‘bout the ghetto youth we hafi teach yo
I am from Savanna
Mi muma born a Carawina
Nuff people come back nah get dem visa -- Jesus
Violence ready fi shoot
Ratatatat lick off your breadfruit
We need socialism for di ghetto youth yo
Old man carry cane pon donkey pon iPhone
Rum shop chill spot
Di sound of dominoes
Nuff good music -- hurricane woes
Zinc roof gone
Shotta Babylon
Likkle youth gwan inna school uniform playing football
Perm, braids and locks nah conform
Westmoreland
Welcome to Savanna, mi say…
Welcome to Savanna
I can’t even remember the first time I went to Jamaica
But every time I go it’s like a spiritual experience
Going back to my mothers' land, you know
The sights, the sounds the smells
It’s just beautiful
Learning patois as a second language as a Jamaica born-a-foreign
Yo, no pretense just the residents
Seen?
Savanna
(We dehya chillin pon blue beach)
We deh in Savanna
(Manning's school yo, hey everybody)
I got love for Savanna
Dumplin escovitch green banana
Welcome to Savanna
(Yo the waters cold yo)
Dumplin escovitch green banana
(We love you stil)
We deh in Savanna
Welcome to Savanna
Geeze
(Ya, grandma mi a go come see you soon you know from Canada
