Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, the tribulation inna di ghetto is a must.
Mi neva qualify fi no house in trust cah mi loose all a mi money inna cash plus.
But mi know seh mi a born jamaican mi deh yah from slavery as a African.

From Morrant Point to Negril Point from St Thomas to Westmoreland.

From Morrant Point to Negril Point from St Thomas to Westmoreland.
