Mamma si dung and a wonder
If har pickney dem still love her
It breaks mi heart, fi si har tears run like a river
A nuh the same woman this weh mi grow fi know
Mi nuh want unu tek har fi poppy show
Shi a try pay back the money weh shi owe
Shi have so much debt shi wah stop from barrow

Gi mi back mi sweet Jamaica, Jamaica
Want back mi sweet Jamaica, Jamaica
Gi mi back mi sweet Jamaica
Unu don't sell har off, mek wi keep Jamaica, Jamaica
[x2]

Yes I am so Jamaican, so Jamaican
Shi have a lot a bright pickey and dem cyan even get fi excel
Cyan afford the school fee, so dem get expel
The most talented one inna jail cell
Har big daughter head hot nuh hell
From wah day mamma nah do so well
It look like shi hear say har name ago sell

Gi mi back mi sweet Jamaica, Jamaica
Want back mi sweet Jamaica, Jamaica
Gi mi back mi sweet Jamaica
Unu don't sell har off, mek wi keep Jamaica, Jamaica

Fi buy everything a foreign, nutten nah plant nor sow
That a nuh di Jamaica weh mi know
Wi sell every wi own to Mr Chin and Mr Lu
That a nuh di Jamaica weh mi know
Some a mi Bredda and sister run weh gone live inna snow
Say them only miss the sun and breeze when it blow
Mi woulda want all Fi run weh too
But a father God mi trust and cut and guh through

I am so Jamaican, so Jamaican
Yes I am so Jamaican, so Jamaican

Gi mi back mi sweet Jamaica, Jamaica
Want back mi sweet Jamaica, Jamaica
Gi mi back mi sweet Jamaica
Unu don't sell har off, mek wi keep Jamaica, Jamaica

Want back mi sweet Jamaica, Jamaica
