Bunny Wailer - Here In Jamaica lyrics

Come along every goodie

Come and hear what I have to say

Come and listen and I will tell you

What is the talk of the town today

and every corner that you may walk

You see a group of people balk

They're not skylarkin' they're talkin'

'bout what's happening here in Jamaica

Can't get no work off hustling

and man, when you take a stock

Can't cook no rice and dumpling

and will soon end up in a shack

Can't pay no rent, 'cause you don't have a cent

No government account, it's already spent

So you end up borrowing, begging or stealing, here in Jamaica

Some a dem long, long treat bad

and they don't care a thing about that

desperation is getting so bad

you either bite the bullet or get flat

and if a-you should die before his day

Who are responsible don't want to pay

I am not jokin', I'm talkin' 'bout what's happening here

in Jamaica

--Whoa Yea--

Why don't you take us onward to AfricaBunny Wailer - Here In Jamaica - http://motolyrics.com/bunny-wailer/here-in-jamaica-lyrics.html

Where we can sit and eat and chat

for it is no use dying in Jamaica

'cause we can't afford a burial spot

Remember Marcus Garvey predicted that day

when all black people shall be going away

to the land of our forefathers, and our mothers

right here in Ethiopia

Oh what a glorious morning

when we shall leap out of Babylon

There shall be singin', dancin' and rejoicing

with the dawn of the rising sun

And all the Africans, home and abroad

Just like the Israelites we shall be glad

To leave our worries, trials and crosses, here in Jamaica

so, come along every goodie

Come and hear what I have to say

Come and listen and I will tell you

What is the talk of the town today

and to every corner that you may walk

You see a group of people balk

They're not skylarkin' they're talkin'

'bout what's happening here in Jamaica

I am not jokin' , I'm talkin' 'bout what's happening here in Jamaica

They're not skylarkin' they're talkin' 'bout what's
happening here in Jamaica
