Jamaican In New York

Dont drink coffee, I drink roots, my dear
And I love my morning ride
You can see it in my motions when I walk
Im 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
Im a Jamaican in New York
Im an alien, Im a legal alien
Im a Jamaican in New York
Im an alien, Im a legal alien
Im 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
Im an alien, Im a legal alien
Im a Jamaican in New York
Im an alien, Im a legal alien
Im a Jamaican in New York
Niceing up our party can lead to notoriety
Pretty soon theyll know you as the Don
Because we live so hearty, Babylon dont like we
Still were gonna party till the sun
And you dont stop, you proceed
And this is the message and rhyme you need
Shineheads 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 were 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
Takesa man to make a stand, sometimes get wild
Be yourself, no matter what they say
Im an alien, Im a legal alien
Im a Jamaican in New York
Im an alien, Im a legal alien
Im a Jamaican in New York
Im an alien
Im a Jamaican in New York
Im an alien
Im a Jamaican in New York
