Intro:
Ahh yes
Ahhh

Cho:
Shine on Jamaica
Let no on hinder you
Shine on Jamaica
Let no one hinder you

Them seh the sign of the time justify all the crime
Some push paper ,some trigger but the body dem a climb
Now the corruption spread bigger than dem jacket and tie
What a calamity ( ding ding ding yoi)
When cost a living rise higher than the money we a mek
And the rich a get richer but the poor people stress
And the thugs dem nuh check fi di babies pon breast
Is an atrocity (ding ding ding now now)
Whats we need
Whaat we need ( love love love )

Two inches taler than the pram weh she a push har baby inna
Love the streets but she cyan spell har baby father name
A bleach out har face fi lighten har pain
Ghetto reality (lawd a god)
But did we sell wi soul fi di soles of the nikes and tims
Cause some man nuh treat dem woman like dem treat dem car rim
Send barrels and pounds fi raise the kids
Dem need quality ( time and love )
Whats we need
Whaat we need ( love love love )
