Welcome To Jamrock
Key: GmEasyGm Gm Fm Fm. da hole way through da da song
Welcome to Jamrock camp whe' the thugs dem camp at
Two pounds a weed inna van back
It inna your hand bag your knapsack it inna your back pack
The smell a give yah girlfriend contact
Some boy noy notice them only come around like tourist
On the beach with a few club sodas
Bedtime stories and pose like dem name Chuck Norris
And they don't know the real hardcore
Cause Sandals a no 'back-to' da thugs Dem wi do whe' dem got to
And won't think twice to shot you
Don't make dem spot you unless you carry guns a lot too
A bare tuff things come at you
When Trenchtown man stop laugh and block-off traffic
Then them wheel and pop off and dem start clap it
With the pin file dung and it a beat drop it
Police come inna jeep and them cant stop it
Some say them a playboy (them) a playboy rabbit
Funnyman a get dropped like a bad habit
So nobody pose tuff if you don't have it
Rastafari stands alone!
Chorus
Welcome to Jamrock Welcome to Jamrock
Out in the streets they call it murder!
Verse 2
Welcome to Jamdown poor people a dead at random
Political violence can't done! Pure ghost and phantom the youth
Dem get blind by stardom
Now the Kings Of Kings a call
Old man to Pickney so wave one hand if you with me
To see the sufferation sicken me
Them suit no fit me to win election they trick we
Then dem don't do nuttin at all
Come on let's face it a ghetto education's basic
A most a the youths them waste it
And when they waste it that's when they take the guns and replace it
Then them don't stand a chance at all
And that's why a nuff little youth have up some fat matic
With the extra magazine inna them back pocket
And have leisure night time inna some black jacket
All who not lock glocks them a lock rocket
Then will full you up a current like a short circuit
Them a run a roadblock which part thr cops block it
And from now till a mornin not stop clock it
If the run outta rounds a brought back ratchet
Chorus
Welcome to Jamrock (Southside Northside)
Welcome to Jamrock (East Coast West Coast huh yo)
Welcome to Jamrock (Conwell Middlesex) Hey!
Welcome to Jamrock
Out in the streets they call it murder!!!
Outro
Jamaica Jamaica! Jamaica Jamaica! Now!
Jamaica Jamaica! Yo! Jamaica Jamaica!
