lyrics

Woe, this mi country
Woe, wi suffering
Woe, wi affected
We are suffering because of the crime situation
Youth in this country don’t have no future to look forward to
Youth in this ghetto don’t have nothing to look up to
Government alone can’t fix this ya
It takes me and you to fix this ya
It takes each and everyone to fix this ya
Woe, mi country
Woe, mi country
Parents worried about dem children
Remember Amanda Dates
How they find her body well decayed
She was only 9 years of age, oh
She was only 9 years of age, oh
Yeah, woe, that’s mi country
Jamaica, mi country
I know, I know that you know
I know people who knows
You know somebody who knows
Don’t you think we are not affected?
We all are affected
Because I know each and everyone
We all are affected
Woe, Woe, Woe
How much longer we gonna pretend
That we are not affected
In the end because take a stand
Rightup now, number 1 the month
All ghetto, ghetto youth you got to be effective
Yeah, we all affected
We all affected
Man with him job him affected
Man with no job he's affected
Man with him car he's affected
Man with no car he's affected
Man a walk street he's affected
Man who a walk street he affected
We all affected
We all affected
Man inna him bed him affected
Rastafari he is affected
And we a reject it
Rastafari, yu nuh

about

Rightup New York, New York

I started my music career at age 10 in the church, traveling throughout the island of Jamaica up until the age of 15 when I migrated to the United States.

I have what it takes to work any stage, I bring real music to diverse audiences with a unique flavor.

God is my inspiration. I put Him first, then music, then people.

One love.
