Tarrus Riley - We Run It (Jamaica)

[Intro]
A we dem 'fraid a Jamaica
Huh
Dem say the sun too hot
This side of the equator
Charlie Pro
You no see the whole world no stop watch Jamaica
Hey, dem say dem love how we dress
Love how we talk, dem love the flavour
Hey

[Chorus]
Whether food fashion or music
A we run it, a we run it
Hey, whether sports or academics
A we run it, a we run it
Yes, we rich inna culture, full up a history
We run it, a we run it
And if a trial and tribulation
We must overcome it, a we run it

[Post-Chorus]
Ho
Noweh no, noweh no better than yard
Ha, and me no 'fraid fi talk, so
Noweh no, noweh no better than yard, ha
And me no shame fi talk, so
I've been many places and seen many faces
And me no 'fraid fi talk, so
Me know you're listening
Me know you love your country
Still, noweh no better than yard

[Verse 1]
Coffee a Blue Mountain Peak
And if a sports, we got the fastest feet
And if a music, Bob Marley dweet
Reggae, rocksteady and lock the street
Come a Jamaica weh the water sweet
Mineral fountain mek you feel unique
Friends gather 'round while the sound a beat
Unno come a Jam Rock we show you how we dweet

[Chorus]
If a food fashion or music
A we run it, a we run it
Huh, and if a sports or academics
A we run it, a we run it
Some a the prettiest ladies you've ever seen
We run it, a we run it
Hey, with determination and ambition
We must overcome it
A we run it

[Post-Chorus]
Hoii!
Noweh no, noweh no better than yard
Ha, and me no 'fraid fi talk, so
Noweh no, noweh no better than yard
Hey, and me no shame fi talk, so
Been many places and seen many faces
And me no shame fi talk, so
Me know you're listening
Me know you love your country
Still, noweh no better than yard

[Verse 2]
Huh, we likkle but we tallawah
Born leader, we a no follower
We stand out inna the crowd, so don't have no doubt
Jamaicans inna the area
Whether you natty or you love go church
Or you platty or you still a search
You cyaan stop we
A just so we work
"Out of Many, One People"

[Chorus]
Hey, whether food fashion or music
A we run it, a we run it
Hey, whether sports or academics
A we run it, a we run it
Hey, whether dancing or just grooving
We run it, a we run it
Some a the nicest people you'll ever meet
A we run it, a we run it
Hoii

[Post-Chorus]
Hoii!
Noweh no, no weh no better than yard
Ha, and me no 'fraid fi talk, so
Noweh no, noweh no better than yard
Hey, and me no shame fi talk, so
Been many places and seen many faces
And me no shame fi talk, so
Me know you're listening
Me know you love your country
Still, noweh no better than yard
