Max Romeo - A Fi We Country lyrics

rate me

A fi we country <br />

Mek we live it up, alright<br />

A fi we country<br />

So no mash it up, yes<br />

A fi we something<br />

So mek we use it up<br />

A fi we country <br />

So no shoot it up, no mash it up<br />

<br />

Thinking of a vacation the other day<br />

All work and no play makes a dull day<br />

My woman, she looks at me and says (yeah)<br />

Why not take a vacation in Montego Bay<br />

<br />

'Cause <br />

A fi we country <br />

Mek we live it up, alright<br />

A fi we country<br />

So no mash it up, yes<br />

A fi we something<br />

Mek we use it up<br />

A fi we country <br />

So no shoot it up, no mash it up<br />

<br />

I said, "Woman, I prefer a foreign land<br />

Where I can pretend to be a big-shot man"<br />

She said, "Have you tried rafting on the Rio Grande?<br />

Or clompering on Negril's white sand?"<br />

<br />

Yes<br />

A fi we country <br />

Mek we live it up, alright<br />

A fi we country<br />

So no mash it up, yes<br />

A fi we country<br />

Mek we build it up, alright<br />

A fi we country <br />

So no shoot it up, no mash it up<br />

<br />

"Honey, I know it's my own land,<br />

But those places are for the foreign man"<br />

She said, "Oh no, it couldn't be so,<br />

You can be a visitor in your own land"<br />

I know that we have traveled far <br />

From those slave markets in Zanzibar<br />

This land is our own sweat and blood<br />

So let's live it up, live it up, don't shoot it up<br />

<br />

'Cause<br />

A fi we country <br />

Mek we live it up, alright<br />

A fi we country<br />

So no mash it up, yes<br />

A fi we something<br />

So mek we use it up<br />

A fi we country <br />

So no shoot it up, no mash it up<br />

<br />

<br /><br /><br />
