My island don't sell out
My island don't sell out, please don't sell out
My island don't sell out
Remember your teachers them now
Remember your nurses them now
Remember your doctors them now
My island don't sell out no, no, no, no
My island don't sell out, please don't sell out
Remember your farmers them now
Remember your workers them now
Remember your neighbors them now
My island don't sell out, please don't sell out
My island don't sell out
Remember your people them now
Remember the Masses
I'm a soldier of his Majesty
So therefore I can see
My island don't sell out, please don't sell out
My island don't sell out no, no, no, no
My island don't sell out
Servile Land
Remember your natives them now
Remember your afro slave yard
Remember your afro slave yard
My island don't sell out
My island don't sell out no, no, no, no
My island don't sell out, please don't sell out
My island don't sell out
Remember our future
Our island future
Remember our future
My island don't sell out
My island don't sell out, please!
My island don't sell out
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
Don't sell out please!
