Lyrics (from album jacket) ::
---------------------------------------------------
Out in the street... They call it murder!
Verse one::
Welcome to Jamrock
Camp whe' te thugs *** camp at
Two pound a weed inna van back
It inna yuh handbag yuh nap sack
It inna yuh back pack
The smell a give ya girlfriend contact
Some bwoy nuh know this
*** only come around like tourist
On the beach with a few club soda
Bedtime stories
And pose like *** name Chuck Norris
And don't know the real hardcore
Cause Sandals a no "Back-to"
Di thugs *** wi' do whe' *** got to
And won't think twice to shot you
Don't mek *** spot you
Unless you carry guns a lot too
A bear tuff thing come at you
When Trenchtown man stop laugh and block off traffic
Den *** wheel and pop-off and *** start clap it
With the pin file dow and it a beat rapid
Police come inna jeep an' *** can't stop it
Some say *** a playboy, a playboy rabbit
Get drop like a bad habit
So no bother pose tuff if you don't have it
Rastafari stands alone!
Chorus::
Welcome to Jamrock, hey!
Welcome to Jamrock
Out in the streets they call it murder
Uh!
Verse two::
Welcome to Jamdown
Poor people a dead at random
Political violence can't done
Bare ghosts and Phantom
The youth *** get blind by stardom
Now the king of kings a call
Old man to pickney
So wave unno hand if you with me
To see the sufferation sick me
*** suit nah fit me
To win election *** trick we
Den *** don't do nothing at all
Come on let's face it
A ghetto education's basic
And most of the youths *** waste it
And when *** waste it, that's when *** tek the guns replace it
Then *** don't stand a chance at all!
And that's why a nuff little youth have some fat matic
With the exra magazine inna *** back pocket
And a bleach a night time inna some black jacket
All who nah lock Gloc, say *** a lock rocket
*** wi' full you up a current like a shock socket
*** wi' run a road block which part the cops block it
And from now till a morning nuh stop block it
If *** run outta rounds a bruk-back ratchet
Chorus::
Welcome to Jamrock (South side, North side)
Welcome to Jamrock (East coast, West coast)
Yow!
Welcome to Jamrock (Cornwal, Middlesex and Surrey yaw)
Eh!
Welcome to Jamrock
Outro::
Out in the street they call it murder
Jamaica... Jamaica (x4)
Welcome to Jamrock (x5)
