Don't drink coffee, I drink roots, my dear |
|
And I love my morning ride |
|
You can see it in my motions when I walk |
|
I'm a Jamaican in New York |
|
See me walking down Church Avenue |
|
With my hat leaned to one side |
|
You can see it when I walk |
|
I'm a Jamaican in New York |
|
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien |
|
I'm a Jamaican in New York |
|
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien |
|
I'm a Jamaican in New York |
|
Roughness makes man as someone said |
|
He is the rude boy of the day |
|
Takes a man to make a stand, sometimes get wild |
|
Be yourself, no matter what they say |
|
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien |
|
I'm a Jamaican in New York |
|
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien |
|
I'm a Jamaican in New York |
|
Niceing up our party can lead to notoriety |
|
Pretty soon they'll know you as the Don |
|
Because we live so hearty, Babylon don't like we |
|
Still we're gonna party till the sun |
|
And you don't stop, you proceed |
|
And this is the message and rhyme you need |
|
Shinehead's gonna take the lead |
|
All yard man, put up your hand |
|
And let the world know that you have ambition |
|
Well a we, well a we a yardy |
|
A weh we de? We de a New York City |
|
A weh se come yah fa? |
|
No to make some money |
|
We have to do that to feed we family |
|
Chucking badness does not make a man |
|
And we're not the only ones with guns |
|
Confront your enemies, outsmart them if you can |
|
But if all else fails, you better run |
|
Roughness makes man, as someone said |
|
He is the rude boy of the day |
|
Takes a man to make a stand, sometimes get wild |
|
Be yourself, no matter what they say |
|
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien |
|
I'm a Jamaican in New York |
|
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien |
|
I'm a Jamaican in New York |
|
I'm an alien |
|
I'm a Jamaican in New York |
|
I'm an alien |
|
I'm a Jamaican in New York |
