Mi all a wonder if a purpose!!! Or accident Dem tax everything dung to oxygen Leaders tear di nation down di nation it mash up like di taxi dem WELL!!!! Fix the dents, or face the consequence Protest, social unrest been going on for centuries Are we independent? Or indifferent? Do we even care what independene is? Because wi sell out wi coastline, landline, airline, phoneline, online, bloodline, lifeline, deadline, headline, frontline, timeline, electic lightline, trainline, starline, clothes-line, punchline, lunchline And naural resources gone to foreign sources Business so exclusive isolate di tourists, inna di all inclusive Don't give us no excuses, we can withstand he bruises Tell us wha the truth is!!! (Weh di truth?) All who pledge to this nation Sing it loud an raise yuh hand Proud to be a jamaican Stand up strong for where you're from

I pledge my heart forever to serve with humble pride this shining homeland ever, so long as earth abide Are we independent? Or in pretence Gunshots replace pens and pencils Most yute naav nuh trade and the few that do can't afford utensils Nor the fundamentals, nor the bare essentials So dem tek di wrong road an flair off course and crash juss like a rental. HENCE, things so tense Bruk is to pocket like zinc to fence Mi haffi wonder if wi woulda better off a spend pound and shilling an pence.

call shots, push button, world bank pull strings like instruments. Mi haffi wonder if a plan ting!!! Or coincidence Who have di power of influence? I.M.F. Nothing's different Cah nobody naah think different Dem rather live inna illusion, because di truth hard fi swallow like yuh drink cement.

Are we independent? It depends On what yuh call independence Cah di jamaican dollar it doh mek nuh sense an wi still dependent.
