H2 Worka (For The Farm Workers Of Jamaica) |
| I am a H2 worka |
| Comin' from de island of Jamaica |
| I am a H2 worka |

| Workin' suh hard in de burnin' sun |
| Wonderin' if slavery really dun |
| I’m workin. |
| workin' |
| Workin' on yuh cane field still |
| Workin', workin' |
| Workin' for yuh meager dolla bill |
| Suh don’t bite de hands dat feed yuh |
| I have dreams like you to |
| Don’t treat mi like I’m a slave here |
| Jus' ghey mi a wage dat is fare |
| I am a H2 worka |
| Pickin' apple inna Florida |
| I am a H2 worka |
| Hopin' dat tings will be betta |
| Suh don’t teck mi fi granted and pass mi |
| Like is only yuh cane and apple yuh si |
| Don’t teck it fi joke an' run mi |
| Den sen to mi govament fi more a wi |
| Dis is not slavery, jus' poverty |
| Talkin' to democracy |
| Betta yuh did sen mi to war |
| Den a woulda si at a fitin' for |
| Jus' de needy, talkin' to de greedy |
| Jus' de goodness, of de restless |
| Wantin' to make a betta life |
| For mi children and wife |
| Suh a com to yuh lan to help yuh |
| To help mi, to help wi |
| Dis is not slavery, jus' poverty |
| Wantin' democracy |

| I have dreams like you to |
| Don’t teck mi situation fi weakness |
| Don’t even tink dat I am helpless |
| A gettin' restless |
| Workin' on yuh cane field still. |
| I’m workin', workin' |
| Workin' on yuh cane field still. |
