Can't get no work off hustling
A

Can't cook no rice and dumpling
A
D
And will soon end up in a shack
Can't pay no rent,

'cause you don't have a cent
A
G
No government account, it's already spent
D
So you end up borrowing,
G
A
D
begging or stealing, here in Jamaica

G
Some a dem long, long treat bad

You either bite the bullet or get flat
G
And if a- you should die before his day
A

Who are responsible don't want to pay

I am not jokin',

Verse 5
D
Why don't you take us
G
onward to Africa
A
D
Where we can sit and eat and chat

For it is no use dying in Jamaica

'cause we can't afford
D
a burial spot
Remember Marcus Garvey

To the land of our forefathers,

and our mothers
A
Right here in Ethiopia

Verse 6
D
G
Oh what a glorious morning
A
D
When we shall leap out of Babylon
There shall be singin',
G
dancin' and rejoicing
A
D
With the dawn of the rising sun
G
And all the Africans, home and abroad
A
G
Just like the Israelites we shall be glad
D
G
To leave our worries, trials and crosses,
A
D
here in Jamaica
