Nothing To Smile About

Heritage Morgan

Nuff people come to Jamaica and nuh know how we live 
Think seh EVERYTHING nice through we full of vibes and thing 
Dem same one feel it to dem heart when dem get fi overstand di real thing yeaah 

Mi deh ya town one day 
A par with a white man weh come all the way from Norway 
And him turn to mi and say 
How comes Jamaica full of so much screwface 
Same time mi lift mi head to the sky 
And a tear drop fall from mi eye 
Mi say my youth come we go out for a drive 
Mek mi show you why mi cry 

Look pon di gully side 
Do you see anything fi smile bout 
Look at that hungry child yeah
Do you see anything fi smile bout 
Look at the school weh deh youth dem go fi get dem education 
Do you see anything fi smile bout 
Look at the conditions of our police stations 
Do you see anything fi smile bout 

Same time the bredda say 
How can a nation be living this way 
And the next thing him say 
How can the government play so many games 
Same time mi heart fall to the ground 
Cause there's much more where that come from 
Certain place deh ya worse than some
