Jamaican In New York |
| Mhm |
| Yo |
| Hoii, mon! |
| Yush! |
| Shinehead again… well me nah show you, man? |
| Back to back we a deal with it, enuh brother |
| For real, enuh |
| New York crew, we haffi big unuh up, see it? |
| We have just… step up inna life and gwan strive said way, you hear? |
| Yes! |
| Don’t drink coffee, I drink roots, my dear |
| And I love my morning ride |
| You can see it in my motions when I walk |
| I’m a Jamaican in New York |
| See me walking down Church Avenue |
| With my hat leaned to one side |
| You can see it when I walk |
| I’m a Jamaican in New York |
| I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien |
| I’m a Jamaican in New York |
| I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien |
| I’m a Jamaican in New York |
| Roughness maketh man, as someone said |
| He is the rude boy of the day |
| Takes a man to make a stand, sometimes get wild |
| Be yourself, no matter what they say |
| I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien |
| I’m a Jamaican in New York |
| I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien |
| I’m a Jamaican in New York |
| Nicing up a party can lead to notoriety |
| Pretty soon they’ll know you as the Don |
| Because we live so hearty, Babylon don’t like we |
| Still we’re gonna party 'til the sun |
| And you don’t stop, you proceed |
| And this is the riddim and rhyme you need |
| Shinehead’s gonna take the lead |
| Me nah show no man |
| Settle unuh self |
| All yard man, put up your hand |
| And let the world know that you have ambition |
| All yardie man, put up your hand |
| And let the world know that you have ambition |
| Well a we, well a we a yardie |
| A weh we deh? |
| We de a New York City |
| A weh se come yah fa? |
| No to make some money |
| We have to do that to feed we family |
| Chucking badness does not make a man |
| And we’re not the only ones with guns |
| Confront your enemies, outsmart them if you can |
| But if all else fails, you better run |
| Roughness maketh man, as someone said |
| He is the rude boy of the day |
| Takes a man to make a stand, sometimes get wild |
| Be yourself, no matter what they say |
| I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien |
| I’m a Jamaican in New York |
| I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien |
| I’m a Jamaican in New York |
| I’m an alien |
| I’m a Jamaican in New York |
| I’m an alien |
| I’m a Jamaican in New York |
| Yeah mon, a so we love give it to dem, man… back to back |
| And even if you anuh Jamaican, I waan you step up inna life sameway |
| You hear?! |
| This is still a family affair, man… |
| On the strip of reality |
| Anyway, all crew and all massive… |
| Just gwan strive, you hear sah |
| Yes! |
