Welcome To Jamrock

(Out in the street, they call it murder)

Welcome to Jamrock
Where the thugs hang out
Two pounds of weed in the van's back
It's in your handbag, your backpack
It's in your backpack
The smell gives your girlfriend a contact high
Some guys don’t know this
They only come around like tourists
On the beach with a few club sodas
Bedtime stories, posing like they’re Chuck Norris
And don’t know the real hardcore
'Cause Sandals ain't no Back-To
The thugs will do what they gotta do
And won’t think twice to shoot you
Don’t let them spot you, unless you’re packing heat too
A whole lot of tough stuff comes at you
When Trenchtown man stops, laughs, and blocks traffic
Then they wheel and pop off and start clapping
With the pin filed down, and it beats rapid
Police come in a jeep and they can’t stop it
Some say they’re playboys, a playboy rabbit
Get dropped like a bad habit
So don’t bother posing tough if you don’t have it
Rastafari stands alone

Welcome to Jamrock
(Ay) welcome to Jamrock
Out in the street, they call it murder

Welcome to Jamdown
Poor people dying at random
Political violence, can’t stop
Bare ghosts and phantoms
The youth get blinded by stardom
Now the king of kings, ah, calls
Old man to pickney, so wave your hand if you’re with me
To see the suffering makes me sick
Those suits don’t fit me
To win elections, they trick us
Then they don’t do anything at all
Come on, let’s face it, a ghetto education’s basic
And most of the youth waste it
And when they waste it
That’s when they take the guns and replace it
Then they don’t stand a chance at all
And that’s why so many little youths have some fat 'matic
With the extra magazine in their back pocket
And bleach at night in some black jacket
All who don’t lock Glocks say they lock rockets
They’ll fill you up with current like a shock socket
They’ll run a roadblock where the cops block it
And from now till morning, don’t stop clocking it
If they run out of rounds, ah, break-back ratchet
