Lyrics

Eternal Father, bless this land Guide I with thy mighty hand Eternal Father, bless this land Guide I an' I, I an' I, I an' I Ooh yeah Hey Don't nuh nuh nice It might look pretty inna di day but inna di night A pure screwface When shells fly, everything rise What a pity fi see how mankind living dem lives Hey, well tonight Put down yuh gun, dash 'way yuh knife Mi nuh wan' nuh fight In the party, the girls dem nice Herbs and spice And we nah defend no graveyard, we a play bone dice Mi tell you fi hear Ritititiritititititi Tell you fi hear Bam bam bam bam Huh! Well as you see di youths dem playing board and cricket Down to di babe and di suckling, a gone man Inna mi sweet sweet Jamaica White blood a run like water And it burn mi heart When mi read di papers and hear di talks Of di juveniles 'round yah dem moving dark Say, nuh light nuh shine on yaso dem Play di part of a ruthless gangsta Sweet sweet Jamaica Hey, blood a run like water And hey I'm like a soldier When mi deh inna mi yard, and anuh smiling Mi inna mi camouflage Trespasser nuh cross mi path or else di dogs will bark (Woof woof) My mama told me Son, yuh better careful Dem cyan buy food but every man pitiful Dem thirsty fi blood, this generation of vipers Huh! Mi tell you fi hear Ritititiritititititi Tell you fi hear Bam bam bam bam Hey! Well as you see di youths dem playing board and cricket Huh! And nowadays youths dem a gone man Eternal Father, bless this land Guide I with thy mighty hand Eternal Father, bless this land Guide I an' I, I an' I, I an' I Sweet Jamaica White blood a run like water
