A soon run left Jamaica and go live a Kingston hmmmm

If you live with you granny you wi tun granny too

A who say granny nuh love di cussing

Fi mi granny she cuss fi everything

Granny! stop hollering out mi name

Granny! you calling mi name in vain

Granny! weh you a call mi fa

Mi soon left you and go live with mama

Imagine I caan tek this country what we live in

Look how much money wi haffi fi pay fi chicken

Rice and flour and cornmeal is a sin

Waan buy a milk and mi caan buy di tin

Caan even get sugar now fi do some sweetening

A soon run left Jamaica and go live in a foreign

Oh lawd of mercy I have to sing

Unno help me now hmm

But that was long before it raise si ya bwoy

Unda one tree mi hold a seat and sidung
