| This one is for my city girls | |
| I’m wondering if you’ll get with me girl | |
| Country youth, you know | |
| Yeah yeah | |
| My lady let me hold you now | |
| I don't want to hold you down | |
| Come to me, let me show you ‘round | |
| I know I’m from the country, take you out of town | |
| You naa go want fi go back home | |
| (repeat) | |
| Let me take you from a place where | |
| Politicians they don't play fair | |
| Brainwash the youth dem from the daycare | |
| I speak of youths because a few is what we may share | |
| ‘Cause me and you, we can make a truly great pair | |
| Me love your mind and your body too | |
| Down to every molecule | |
| Stand firm inna your solitude | |
| Me woulda love fi you combine with me | |
| That would really put my mind at ease | |
| [CHORUS] | |
| Me say you eyes pretty like | |
| The light inna the city night | |
| And a you me want fi see tonight | |
| Me say you hotter than the gritty, I | |
| Wonder if you would accept this water that is bubbling up in my chillum | |
| pipe | |
| Me want fi see you prosper inna what you do | |
| This a nuh Twitter so you know me naa go follow you | |
| But me haffi follow through, honor you | |
| You need fi tell me wha’ you wanna do | |
| [CHORUS] | |
| You so divine inna your essence | |
| Me love your effervescence | |
| You full me up a blessings | |
| Mama Yashi when you dressing | |
| You destined for peace by the speech you addressing me with | |
| And everything you do I see fit | |
| A you alone the Rasta man a sleep with | |
| So long as we stick together, we rich together | |
| No fish, no feathers, no deaders so we syncing better | |
| This ya ship ya no | |
| [CHORUS] | |
| Saint Elizy a me dwelling place | |
| Sometimes them nuh have no bread in plate | |
| Hungry belly but them celebrate | |
| Life and meditate, heights and elevate | |
| We no go church but me woulda love a wedding day | |
| ‘Cause if them violate, ‘cause we moving at a higher rate | |
| The warriors will make the fire blaze | |
| ‘Cause Selassie I we praise | |
| This love will never expiring | |
