Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My Jamaican guy, my Jamaican guy
My Jamaican guy, my Jamaican guy
Take a toke from the smoke
Never standing by the door
Just stretching out on the floor
That way him don't fall over
No way him want fall out on me
That way him won't fall over
No way him want fall out on me
[Verse 2]
'Cause he's layed back, not laying back
Layed back, not worried back
Layed back, not thinking back
Layed back, never holding back
My Jamaican guy, oh, my Jamaican guy
[Verse 3]
When my dread start to swell
Him no think if it hot nor cold
We just come in a de riva cold
That way him don't waste him wata
No way it want run out on him
That way him don't waste him wata
No when it want run out on him
Cause he's layed back, not worried back
Layed back, not thinking back
Layed back, not laying back
Layed back, never holding back
My Jamaican guy, my Jamaican guy
[Verse 4]
My Jamaican guy, my Jamaican guy
When my dread start to swell
Him no think if it hot nor cold
We just come in a de riva cold
That way him don't waste him wata
No way it want run out on him
That way him don't waste him wata
That way it want run out on him
[Verse 5]
My Jamaican guy, my Jamaican guy
My Jamaican guy, my Jamaican guy
My Jamaican guy, my Jamaican guy
