Respect and love to all Jamaican
Nuh matter weh unuh deh in a di world

No matter where in this world I go

No birth papers I have to show
Cause I am Jamaican
Verse
I have Jamaican walk them hear Jamaican talk
Cause I am Jamaican
Them hear Jamaican chat dem see Jamaican bop
Cause I am Jamaican
Now everywhere in this world I go

No I.D I will have to show cause

Them seh lawd what a boy can run
That is a Jamaican
When them see the rasta man from Jam down
That is a Jamaican
Dressmaker, baker, tailor, shoemaker market
Woman in a donkey cart, rivers and streams
Fountains and mountains in a Jamaica
We have it all
Chorus
Now anywhere in the world I go
I am Jamaican
No birth papers I have to show
Cause I am Jamaican
When your hear that music a play outa door
It must be Jamaican
When you smell the food a cook

Hey! Beautiful smile god fearing people
Known across the world
Yet you're so simple
Hey ya and it is not your fault
That you so loving and kind
Oh Jamdown, sweet Jamaica
Jah bless this island of mine
No matter where in the world I go

No I.d I man I need to show
Cause I am Jamaican
How them people laugh so much
Got to be Jamaican
They have overcome struggles
and been through so much
Got to be Jamaican
You're not , your're not,your're not hard, you're not tough
You got to be Jamaican
Resilent and brave, industrious
Yes, we are Jamaican
No Matter anywhere in this world I go
I am a Jamaican
No I.D I man have to show
I am Jamaican
Them she Lawd what boy can run
Must be a Jamaican
When them hear the reggae music from Jam-down
Got to be Jamaican
Dressmaker ,baker, tailor, shoe maker, market
Woman in a donkey cart rivers and streams
Fountains and mountains
Jamaica nice nuh rassssss
