But some of you folks don't understand,
How it's so hard in the Carribbean,
Black man .... Black man,
And they tell me don't trust the other man.
How can I even trust my own brother, man?
Mhhm
Who just bite the hand.
Mhm
I've been blacklisted and I've been blackmailed
Now I set a sail
To see a foreign land
But some of you folks to don't understand
How it's so hard in the Carribbean.
what I'm supposed to do?
But some of you folks don't understand
how it's so hard in the Carribbean
Black man just a beat black man
To go see a foreign land
But some of you folks still don't understand
How it's so hard in the Carribbean.
You come 'pon the island
fi get a sun tan
And fi swim inna da ocean
You no see the mob hatred inna Kingston
An the Carribbean sun.
