About Welcome To Jamrock
Welcome to Jamrock" is the first single from Damian Marley's album of the same name. Lyrics Welcome to Jamrock covers issues such as crime, poverty and political corruption as part of the harsh reality of "Jamrock", Marley's personification of Jamaica, as opposed to the Jamaica advertised as a popular tourist destination. Marley laments Jamaica's high crime rate and unceasing violence, demanding that those in charge do something about it. In this sense he carries on the legacy of his father before him .
Welcome To Jamrock Lyrics
[00:00.46] Out in the streets, they call it murder
[00:06.66] Welcome to Jamrock, camp where the thugs dem camp at
[00:10.99] Two pound ah weed inna van back
[00:14.62] It inna your handbag, your knapsack, it inna your backpack
[00:18.88] The smell ah give your girlfriend contact
[00:21.18] Some boy nuh know dis, dem only come around like tourist
[00:22.66] On the beach with a few club sodas
[00:25.83] Bedtime stories, and pose like dem name Chuck Norris
[00:29.53] And don't know the real hardcore
[00:32.54] 'Cause Sandals ah nuh back to the thugs
[00:34.07] Dem will do whe dem got to and won't think twice to shot you
[00:37.15] Don't make dem spot you, unless you carry guns a lot too
[00:41.89] A bare tuff tings come at you
[00:45.38] When Trench Town man stop laugh and block off traffic
[00:47.93] Then dem wheel and pop off and dem start clap it
[00:51.06] With the pin file dung an it ah beat rapid
[00:54.00] Police come inna Jeep and dem can't stop it
[00:57.37] Some say them ah playboy, ah playboy rabbit
[01:00.78] K dropped like a bad habit
[01:03.71] So nuh bodah pose tuff if you don't have it
[01:06.87] Rastafari stands alone
[01:09.30] Welcome to Jamrock, eh, welcome to Jamrock
[01:17.75] Out in the streets, they call it murder
[01:21.64] Welcome to Jam down, poor people ah dead at random
[01:25.65] Political violence, can't done, pure ghost and phantom
[01:30.17] The youth dem get blind by stardom
[01:32.37] Now the kings of kings ah call
[01:33.64] Old man to Pickney, so wave unnuh hand if you with me
[01:38.47] To see the sufferation sick me
[01:40.57] Dem suit no fit me, to win election dem trick we
[01:44.68] Then dem don't do nuttin' at all
[01:46.83] Come on, let's face it, a Ghetto education's basic
[01:50.03] And most ah de youths, dem waste it
[01:55.78] And when dem waste it, that's when dem take the guns replace it
[01:57.46] Then dem don't stand a chance at all
[01:59.42] And that's why ah 'nuff likkle youth have up some fat 'matic
[02:03.17] With the extra magazine inna dem back pocket
[02:06.22] And ah bleach a nighttime inna some black jacket
[02:09.86] All who nah lock Glocks, ah dem a lock rocket
[02:12.81] They will full you up ah current like ah shock socket
[02:15.98] Dem ah run a road back which part the cops block it
[02:18.83] And from now 'til a mornin' nuh stop clock it
[02:21.96] If dem run outta rounds ah bruck back ratchet
[02:25.16] Welcome to Jamrock
