Song by Tony Rebel<br /><br>

Sweet Jamaica man a I and I land that<br>

Me no stop love it<br>

And me know the whole massive love it<br>

And them respect it to man, hear this<br>

Help me big up Jamaica<br>

The land of wood and water<br>

The systems might no proper<br>

But we love the vibes the food and the culture<br>

Woi, can't you see<br>

The beauty of this country<br>

Me never know a serious thing<br>

Until me reach a foreign<br>

<br>

[Chorus:]<br>

<br>

Say what a nice place fi live, sweet Jamdown<br>

The only problem is, dollars nah run<br>

What a nice place fi live, sweet Jamdown<br>

The only problem is, dollars nah run<br>

Now with the money inna you pocket<br>

And God inna you heart<br>

Crowd of people, what more you want<br>

Reggae music a play, reggae artists a chant<br>

A yah so me born and me nah transplant<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

A man will let pon a banana boat<br>

And him gone aboard<br>

Because him say every weh better than yard<br>

But when him touch certain countries<br>

See the system of fraud<br>

Him haffi run back a Jamdown<br>

And give it its reward<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

Yah so me born, yah so me come from<br>

Yen so me live, and yah me intend fi tan<br>

Regardless of the economic condition<br>

You must admit this is a glorious land<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

Help me big up Jamaica<br>

The land of wood and water<br>

The systems might no proper<br>

But we love the vibes the food and the culture<br>

Woi, can't you see<br>

The beauty of this country<br>

Me never know a serious thing<br>

Until me reach a foreign<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

As a Jamaican, my argument is<br>

Whoever say them clever<br>

Them fi stop the promises<br>

And just, mass production<br>

In all the parishes<br>

And Jamdown will progress<br>

Like all the countries<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

Jamaica and Jamaicans are extremely great<br>

Appreci-love and even some say appreciate<br>

Well since we know that make we concentrate<br>

On how fi make the dollars start circulate<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

From money inna you pocket<br>

And God inna you heart<br>

Crowd of people, what more you want<br>

Reggae music a play, reggae artists a chant<br>

A yah so me born and me nah transplant<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>
