Jamaican In New York

Don't drink coffee I drink roots my dear

And I love my morning ride

You can see it in my motions when I walk

I'm a Jamaican in New York

See me walking down Church Avenue

With my hat leaned to one side

You can see it when I walk

I'm a Jamaican in New York

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm a Jamaican in New York

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm a Jamaican in New York

Roughness make a man as someone said

He's the rude boy of the day

Takes a man to make a stand sometimes get wild

Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm a Jamaican in New York

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm a Jamaican in New York

Niceing up our party can lead to notoriety

Pretty soon they'll know you as the Don

Because we live so hearty Babylon don't like we

Still we're gonna party till the sun

And you don't stop you proceed

'Cause this is the rhythm and the rhyme you need

Shinehead's gonna take the lead

All yard man put up your hand

I'll make the world know you have ambition

All yard man put up your hand

I'll make the world know you have ambition

Well a we, well a we a yardy

A well a we, a well are we there, we're there in New York City

A what we come here for

No to make some money

We have to do that to feed our family

Chucking madness does not make a man

And we're not the only ones with guns

Confront your enemies outsmart them if you can

But if all else fails you better run

Roughness make a man as someone said

He's the rude boy of the day

Takes a man to make a stand sometimes get wild

Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm a Jamaican in New York

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm a Jamaican in New York

I'm an alien

I'm a Jamaican in New York

I'm an alien

I'm a Jamaican in New York
