[Intro]

Yeah!

I say break up your folly grounds and straighten your crooked ways

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly

Selassie I liveth every time

Mi sing!


[Hook]

After me lef' from Jamaica, go a foreign pon tour

Preaching teaching the people fi sure

Answer to Jah when him a knock pon your door

If you ignore you goin' perish fi sure


[Verse 1]

Come back a Jamaica, everything insecure

Rich a get rich and the poor a get poor

Come back come hear say Pan Head skull bore

Come back come hear say Dirtsman skull bore

Hear say, John Pope Paul all come yah pon tour

DJ down yah a rinse out mi what more

Boogerman a plan all fi march and tour

Tour Kingston, and all go tour Portmore

But me know the whole of dem woulda must dead fi sure

And the DJ dem nah teach people no more

A pure clashing and fighting, dem no unite no more

All a tell the gyal dem fi bruk out like a sore

It seems like the people dem no love God no more

If slackness a the sickness, then culture a the cure

Ice all mi block and all a whole city


[Hook]

After me lef' from Jamaica, foreign pon tour

Preaching, teaching the people fi sure

Answer to Jah when him a knock on the door

If you ignore -

Mi say!


[Verse 2]

After mi come back a Jamaica, nuff things gone wrong

Cyan know di woman dem different from di man

Whole of dem a dress inna di same pollution

Dawn and John a run competition

Man a take dem money and a go Obeah man

Man a grudgefull and dem no stop envy man

'Bout dem PNP right, and dem Labor wrong

Man a walk pon road and lick down innocent man

Lick down the little pickiney inna di Prom

This is one thing me got fi overstand

Most of the youth dem stop diss Rastaman

Dem get fi know say Rasta a di right tradition

And respect Selassie as the Almighty one

If slackness a the fault, culture a the solution


[Hook]

Lef' from Jamaica, go a foreign pon tour

Preaching teaching the people fi sure

Answer to Jah when him a knock pon your door

If yuh ignore yuh goin' perish fi sure


[Verse 3]

Come back a Jamaica things nah run right

Man all a fuss and dem no stop from fight

Some long icepick and some ol' rusty knife

Man a walk a road and take an innocent life

'Bout dem PNP wrong, and dem Labor right

Man a walk a road and take an innocent life

Say Selassie I, di whole of dem start to fight

Say Emanuel, and nuff of dem all a fight

Say Marcus Garvey, and nuff of dem a fight

Woman all a shine, and man no stop bite

If slackness a the darkness, then culture a the light

Ice all mi block and all a -


[Hook]

And mi say, after me lef from Jamaica, go a foreign pon tour

Preaching teaching the people fi sure

Answer to Jah when him a knock pon your door

If you ignore you goin' -

Oh!


[Verse 4]

This is most of the things me tell the people on the tour

Answer to Jah when him a knock pon the door

Make sure your hands clean and make sure your heart pure

Selassie call you, your safe and secure

Things you used to do, you nah go do dem no more

Place you used to go, you nah go go deh no more

Food you used to eat, you nah go eat dem no more

Things you used to say, you nah go say dem no more

The heathen dem a gwan like dem waan bruk out like sore

Jah say, see dem ago nuffer than the sand pon seashore


[Hook]

Lef' from Jamaica, go foreign pon tour

Preaching teaching the people fi sure

Answer to Jah when him a knock pon your door

If you ignore, you goin' perish fi sure


[Outro]

Come back a Jamaica, everything insecure

Rich a get rich and the poor a get poor

Come back come hear say Pan Head skull bore

Come back come hear say Dirtsman skull bore

DJ down yah a rinse out mi what more

Hear say, John Pope Paul all come yah pon tour

Boogerman a plan all fi march and tour

Tour Kingston, and all go tour Portmore..
