DAMIAN "JR. GONG" MARLEY - Welcome To Jamrock lyrics

rate me

Welcome to Jamrock, camp whe' da' thugs dem camp at

Two pounds a weed inna van back

It inna your hand bag, your knapsack, it inna your back pack

The smell a give yah girlfriend contact

Some boy noy notice, dem only come around like tourist

On the beach with a few club sodas

Bedtime stories, and pose like dem name Chuck Norris

And don't know the real hardcore

Cause Sandals a no 'back-to', da thugs Dem wi do whe' dem got to

And won't think twice to shot you

Don't make dem spot you, unless you carry guns a lot too

A bare tuff thing come at you

When Trenchtown man stop laugh and block-off traffic

Then them wheel and pop off and dem start clap it

With the pin file dung and it a beat drop it

Police come inna jeep and them cant stop it

Some say them a playboy, a playboy rabbit

Funnyman a get dropped like a bad habit

So nobody pose tuff if you don't have it

Rastafari stands alone!

[Chorus]

Welcome to Jamrock, Welcome to Jamrock

Out in the streets, they call it murder!

[Verse 2]

Welcome to Jamdown, poor people a dead at random

Political violence, can't done! Pure ghost and phantom, the youth

Dem get blind by stardom

Now the Kings Of Kings a call

Old man to Pickney, so wave unno hand if you with me

To see the sufferation sicken me

Them suit no fit me, to win election dem trick we

Den dem don't do nuttin at all

Come on let's face it, a ghetto education's basic

A most a the youths them waste it

And when dem waste it, dat's when dem take da guns and replace it

Then them don't stand a chance at all

And dat's why a nuff little youth have up some fat matic

With the extra magazine inna them back pocket

And a bleach a night time inna some black jacket

All who not lock glocks, dem a lock rocket

Then will full you up a current like a short circuit

Dem a run a roadblock which part thr cops block it

And from now till a mornin not stop clock it

If the run outta rounds a brought back ratchet

[Chorus]

Welcome to Jamrock (Southside, Northside)

Welcome to Jamrock (East Coast, West Coast, huh, yo)

Welcome to Jamrock (Conwell, Middlesex and Surrey) Hey!

Welcome to Jamrock

Out in the streets, they call it murder!!!

[Outro]

Jamaica Jamaica! Jamaica Jamaica! Now!

Jamaica Jamaica! Yo! Jamaica Jamaica!

Welcome to Jamrock, Welcome to Jamrock
