We Run It (jamaica)
Tarrus Riley · Other Songs - Sweet And Irie
A we dem fraid a Jamaica
Dem said heart to heart
This side of equator
Charly Brown and we no stop the world call it Jamaica
A dem said, they love how we dress, love how we talk, and love the flavour
Whether food, fashion, or music
A we run it, a we run it
Whether sports, rock, or academics
A we run it, a we run it
Yes, we're rich in a culture, full of our history
A we run it, a we run it
And if a tired of tribulation
We must overcome it, a we run it
No one, no one better than Yard
A me nafraid fi talk so
No one, no one better than Yard
A me no shamed fi talk so
I've been many places and seen many faces
A me nafraid fi talk so
Me know you're listening, me know you love your country
Nobody better than yard
Coffee a Blue Mountain peak
And if a sports, we got fastest feet
And if a music, Bob Marley do it
Reggae, rocksteady, and lock the street
Come a Jamaica where water's sweet
Mineral fountain make you feel unique
Friends got around where Sun a beat
And come a Jackrock, me show you how we do it
If a food, fashion, or music
A we run it, a we run it
And if a sports, rock, or academics
A we run it, a we run it
Some of the prettiest ladiest you've ever seen
A we run it, a we run it
With determination and ambition we must overcome it
A we run it
No one, no one better than yard
A me nafraid fi talk so
No one, no one better than yard
A me no shamed fi talk so
I've been many places and seen many faces
A me shamed fi talk so
Me know you're listening, me know you love your country
Still, no one better than yard
We little but we talented
Born leader we a no follower
STand out in a di crowd
A don't have no doubt
Jamaicans in a di area
Whether you natty or you love go to church
You platty or you still a search
No one can stop we, a so we work
Out of many one people
Whether food, fashion, or music
A we run it, a we run it
Whether sports, rock, or academics
A we run it, a we run it
And whether dancing or just grooving
A we run it, a we run it
Some of the nicest people you'll ever meet
We run it, a we run it
No one, no one better than yard
A me nafraid fi talk so
No one, no one better than yard
A me no shamed fi talk so
Been many places and seen many faces
A me shamed fi talk so
Me know you're listening, me know you love your country
Still, nobody better than yard
