African Jamaican Lyrics by Burning Spear

Appointment With His Majesty

0

I am a African Jamaican
Just spending some time in foreign land
I am a African Jamaican
Just spending some time in foreign land
When I return to my home, I saw this big big sign sign say
"Nothing to Declare"
When I return to my home, I saw this big big sign sign say
"Nothing to Declare"
I walked over to this woman, she said "Sir go down there"
Miss I got nothing to declare
I walked over to this woman, she said "Sir go down there"
Miss I got nothing to declare
So I went down there, all these men were there
Sir I got nothing to declare
So I went down there, all these men were there
Sir I got nothing to declare
I am a African Jamaican
Just spending some time in foreign land
I am a African Jamaican
Just spending some time in foreign land
Them check I in, them check I out
No ammunition, No appliance, Nothing to declare
Them chek I in, them check I out No ammunition, No appliance, Nothing to declare
I want to know, if I did the wrong thing
I want to know, if I did the wrong thing
I only decided to come home
People come and people go
Them carry what they want to carry
People come and people go
They carry what they want to carry
Them do what they want to do
Them say what they want to say
Them do what they want to do
Them say what they want to say
I am a African Jamaican
Just spending some time in foreign land
I am a African Jamaican
Just spending some time in foreign land
I went back home, I saw the big sign say, "Nothing to Declare"
I walked over this women, she said "Sir go down there"
Miss I got noting to declare
So I went down there, all these men were there
Sir I got nothing to declare
I am a African Jamaican
Just spending some time in foreign land
