Shinehead - Jamaican In New York lyrics

rate me

Don't drink coffee, I drink roots my dear<br />

And I love my morning ride<br />

You can see it in my motions when I walk<br />

I'm a Jamaican in New York<br />

See me walking down Church Avenue<br />

With my hat leaned to one side<br />

You can see it when I walk<br />

<br />

I'm a Jamaican in New York<br />

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien<br />

I'm a Jamaican in New York<br />

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien<br />

I'm a Jamaican in New York<br />

<br />

Roughness makes man, as someone said<br />

He is the rude boy of the day<br />

Takes a man to make a stand, sometimes get wild<br />

Be yourself, no matter what they say<br />

<br />

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien<br />

I'm a Jamaican in New York<br />

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien<br />

I'm a Jamaican in New York<br />

<br />

Niceing up our party, can lead to notoriety<br />

Pretty soon they'll know you as the Don<br />

Because we live so hearty, Babylon don't like we<br />

Still we're gonna party till the sun<br />

<br />

And you don't stop, you proceed<br />

And this is the message and rhyme you need<br />

Shinehead's gonna take the lead<br />

All yard man, put up your hand<br />

And let the world know that you have ambition<br />

Well a we, well a we a yardy<br />

A weh we de?<br />

We de a New York City<br />

A weh se come yah fa?<br />

No to make some money<br />

We have to do that to feed we family<br />

<br />

Chucking badness does not make a man<br />

And we're not the only ones with guns<br />

Confront your enemies, outsmart them if you can<br />

But if all else fails, you better run<br />

Roughness makes man, as someone said<br />

He is the rude boy of the day<br />

Takes a man to make a stand, sometimes get wild<br />

Be yourself, no matter what they say<br />

<br />

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien<br />

I'm a Jamaican in New York<br />

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien<br />

I'm a Jamaican in New York<br />

I'm an alien...<br />

I'm a Jamaican in New York<br />

I'm an alien...<br />

I'm a Jamaican ïn New York
