Lyrics Jamaica Pray - El Jamaiquino

The tree of discontent has grown too tall,
For too long, Small Axe mek we chop that dung
Pray pray Jamaica pray
Pray pray Jamaica pray
Jamaica pray, Jamaica pray
Pray pray pray

This beat bad don't?
Is a big batty gyal shoulda wine up to this
Yeah me know, but right ya now
Nah chat bout that, haffi blaze fire fi the crap weh a gwaan
Inna mi land, lighters up buss a blank
It's a new hit song

System need a better way
Need more accountability
Government stop play just stop play
System need a better way
Where's the responsibility?
Government don't you ever play
Pray pray Jamaica pray
Pray pray Jamaica pray
Jamaica pray, Jamaica pray

Alright stop pray, hear weh me a say
Church! Don't judge a man if you no have nothing fi say
Fi the pastor dem weh rape the innocent pickney
Then there's a thing weh me get fi realize
Politician phone bill soaring to new heights
Eight million? One man? Explain that
Tek unuh tek unuh tek unuh tek the populace fi fool
Tax payer money misused and abused
Everything me talk a true, but unuh nuh waan hear the truth

System need a better way
Need more accountability
Government stop play just stop play
System need a better way
Where's the responsibility?
Government don't you ever play
Pray pray Jamaica pray
Pray pray Jamaica pray
Jamaica pray, Jamaica pray

Hostility, but passively
Inna street we a demonstrate
But nuff youth love rise the tall K
Bra ta ta ta ta ta ta like how me roll me R
Rrrr rrrr rrrr reload restart
Tell them fi calm, Police and soldier
Start fi clap it back, devastation
Pickney cyan grow inna the situation
Black man civil war black man a kill black man

System need a better way
Need more accountability
Government stop play just stop play
System need a better way
Where's the responsibility?
Government don't you ever play
Pray pray Jamaica pray
Pray pray Jamaica pray
Jamaica pray, Jamaica pray

Clasp yuh hands close yuh eyes and kneel
Cause right ya now a God alone can save we
From ourselves destructive beings
Youths a the future fiwi country
That's why we should never give them a raw deal
But the deal gone bad already!
Opportunities extremely limited
Buy a plane ticket, fly guh farrin
Chronic brain drain, increased illiteracy

System need a better way
Need more accountability
Government stop play just stop play
System need a better way
Where's the responsibility?
Government don't you ever play
Pray pray Jamaica pray
Pray pray Jamaica pray
Jamaica pray, Jamaica pray
