Fi dem constitution only full a confusion.
Cause.
Inna di city ah di rich man wealth.

Well up inna di hills where the cool breeze a blow.
Away from di city with di traffic overflow.
The sunshine so pretty, Mama wash outta door.
The flowers dem bloom as the green grass grow.
Mi weed up mi hair tru mi nah have no lawn mow.
