• History Of Jamaica

Wooo! Lord, know 'bout yu country
You 'affi know 'bout yu country
Early B say yu 'affi 'bout yu country
Well hear mi now

Jamaica is an island in the Caribbean Sea
Between latitude seventeen and eighteen
A seven hundred miles south of Miami
A four thousand square miles of property
The hardest part fi reach that a blue mountain peak
I tell yu that a seven thousand four hundred feet
Well I Early B, yur mic MC
A tell yu 'bout the ting called Jamaican history

Say Columbus leaves Spain 1493
Say one year after made a discovery
The Penn and Venables captures the country
Port Royal became the world richest city
A dis where Henry Morgan come and hide the treasury
In 1833 dem abolish slavery
The English fight the maroons and them sign a treaty
The first politician was Busta' and Manley
The first great cricketer a George Headley
'62 was independence fi all Jamaicans
The first festival song was What A Bam Bam
It done by the triple Toots & The Maytals

You 'affi know 'bout yu country
You 'affi know 'bout yu country
Well hear me now

Me say outa 21 and now at 22
Twenty two years of ages our likkle island
Thanks to all heroes, all politicians
Me say all sportsmen and all musicians
All factory workers and all farmers 'pon the land
Say 1962 a big celebration
Say black, gold and green flag, the Queen of England
Eternal Father we national song
Say ackee and salt fish, banana and yam
Say 1966 with Toots to the festival song
That this year Selassie visits our island
When you want know history, me say check I-man
Me name Early B di born doctor-man
And know me come like a history and love mi God

Jamaica is an island in the Caribbean Sea
