LYRICS 🇯🇲

Jamaica
JAH make yah nice,
Hear from way over east
Phat Cat haffi rep for Natasja
Just big up yuhself Jamaica

When mi travel through the hills and the valley weh mi see
The coconut the cotton and the pretty ackee tree
Country lean, green, sun a shine pon di scene
Rain just stop fall, everything fresh and clean
How mi love fi run through the bush find the corn, the cane
Meditation inna mi heart fi heal the mental pain
From the hilltop me see jamaican soil must be
The best inna the world fi grow good sensi
Export haffi big Up government get hiccups
Rasta man nah let the thing stop
Mi feel seh mi haffi big up the youth dem weh lock up see how long the system corrupt

Jamaica too nice fi politician gwaan fool
Jamaica too good fi gangsta do weh dem a do
Jamaica too rich fi di poor man poor how him poor, there must be a reason there must be a cure
Jamaica too nice fi rude boy do weh dem a do
Jamaica too nice fi politician play taboo
Jamaica too sweet fi di poor man poor how him poor, there must be a reason must be a cure

Jamaica 2 Nice, Jamaica 2 Nice

When mi come a town mi haffi mention
The need fi di u.s. just a run the program
See the thief and murderer deh pon dem daily mission
Weh run country and town a ton a gun
Who sit upon the nation original money Don
Who's working all day long? the likkle man
Me nah seh nutten, mi know, seh things haffi change
New millenium the race it haffi rearrange
The cow fat and pretty, the sea is full of fish
Inna Jamaica mi find mi healthiest dish
Not to mention the music and the way it make me feel, why Phat Cat have to appeal

Jamaica 2 Nice
too nice, too nice, too nice, yow yow
Jamaica 2 Nice
too nice, too nice, too nice, yeah yeah

Jamaica too nice fi rude boy do wha dem a do
Jamaica too nice fi politician play taboo
Jamaica too sweet fi di poor man poor how him poor
there must be a reason there must be a cure
Jamaica too nice fi politician gwaan fool
Jamaica too good fi gangsta do weh dem a do
Jamaica too rich fi di poor man poor how him poor
there must be a reason must be a cure

Jamaica 2 Nice
