Jah Jah know, in dis time it have fi irie

[Verse 1]
Mi take a aeroplane, an' man, mi went to Boston
Take another one an' mi gone a Michigan
Di seven-forty-seven carry mi straight to London
Mi make a little stop, Lord, in a irie-land
When mi spread di Reggae music on to every nation
Dem listen to me as the deejay woman
Well, the sweet accent have a Jamaican
An' a smile 'way to mе, a true, mi rock everyonе

[Chorus]
Dem say, every woman must try
Jah Jah say, every woman must try (Lord have mercy)
D'you hear, my little sister, shed no more tear
'Cause, every woman must try (Lord have mercy)

[Verse 2]
For, when it come to lyrics, Jah Jah know, mi no miss
Dem have fi admit mi are di chemist in a dis
Mi tongue cyaan roll, mi teeth-dem no twist
Is not any man Sister Carol will kiss
Mi will light up a spliff, but not a chaliss
Mi nah waste no time 'bout mi keepin' malice
Mi prefer get it over an' fight face to face
But-a strictly cool vibes make mi nah do dis

[Chorus]
But, you fi get up an' stand up (Lord have mercy)
Stand up for your right (Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord-Lord)

Don't give up the fight

[Verse 3]
Well, get up, get up, for mi come fi mash it up
Mi say, get up, get up, I beg you, hold an' pull up

A new ting hot, never striking bay
Show the moves, water pump an' electric boogie

[Chorus]
But, mi jammin' (Lord have mercy)
I want to jam it with you

[Chorus]
I said, so much trouble in the world (Mi have a boy an' a girl)
So much trouble in the world (But natty dreadlocks no curl)
Lively up yourself an' don't be no drag (Whether you sick or you sad)
Lively up yourself, cah Reggae is another bed (Lord have mercy)
I said to lively up yourself, an' don't say no (No-no-no-no-no)
I said-a, lively up yourself, a Sister Carol say so (Lord have mercy)

Fi do di Reggae or di Mento
You even try to boogie Calypso
