Nothing To Smile About

Nuff people come to Jamaica and nuh know how we live

Think seh EVERYTHING nice through we full of vibes and thing

Dem same one feel it to dem heart when dem get fi overstand di real thing yeaah

Mi deh ya town one day

A par with a white man weh come all the way from Norway

And him turn to mi and say

How comes Jamaica full of so much screwface

Same time mi lift mi head to the sky

And a tear drop fall from mi eye

Mi say my youth come we go out for a drive

Mek mi show you why mi cry

Look pon di gully side

Do you see anything fi smile bout

Look at that hungry child yeah

Do you see anything fi smile bout

Look at the school weh deh youth dem go fi get dem education

Do you see anything fi smile bout

Look at the conditions of our police stations

Do you see anything fi smile bout

Same time the bredda say

How can a nation be living this way

And the next thing him say
