A Fi We Country

A fi we country

Mek we live it up, alright

A fi we country

So no mash it up, yes

A fi we something

So mek we use it up

A fi we country

So no shoot it up, no mash it up

Thinking of a vacation the other day

All work and no play makes a dull day

My woman, she looks at me and says (yeah)

Why not take a vacation in Montego Bay

'Cause

A fi we country

Mek we live it up, alright

A fi we country

So no mash it up, yes

A fi we something

Mek we use it up

A fi we country

So no shoot it up, no mash it up

I said, "Woman, I prefer a foreign land

Where I can pretend to be a big-shot man"

She said, "Have you tried rafting on the Rio Grande?

Or clompering on Negril's white sand?"

Yes

A fi we country

Mek we live it up, alright

A fi we country

So no mash it up, yes

A fi we country

Mek we build it up, alright

A fi we country

So no shoot it up, no mash it up

"Honey, I know it's my own land,

But those places are for the foreign man"

She said, "Oh no, it couldn't be so,

You can be a visitor in your own land"

I know that we have traveled far

From those slave markets in Zanzibar

This land is our own sweat and blood

So let's live it up, live it up, don't shoot it up

'Cause

A fi we country

Mek we live it up, alright

A fi we country

So no mash it up, yes

A fi we something

So mek we use it up

A fi we country

So no shoot it up, no mash it up
