Good Morning Mama Jam, I've got to go away
The world is waiting on me
I saw my destiny in a vision,
I've got to play my part
So many rainy day and beater tears
I'll face along the way
I need to keep my direction, well then
I'll be there Zion
I've got to work, got to work, got to work right now
Jah people must work, reggae people must work
'cuz Jah Jah music can't stop
'cuz dis ya riddim keep me rocking, rocking,
Rocking me away
American, African, European skanking to this drum beat
Jamaica, what's wrong with you ?
Come and hold my hand.
Can you increase this great future ?
If you'r losing your past ?
Your present day must be dark, Jamaica,
Live up yourself !
I've got to work, got to work, got to work right now
Jah people must work, reggae people must work
'cuz Jah Jah music can't stop
'cuz dis ya riddim keep me rocking, rocking,
Rocking me away
