Trinidad Is My Country [Song]

TRINIDAD IS MY COUNTRY
By Gen X

Yow, Gen X reach, and I come to deal with your problem
Cause two ah we cyah live on de same island
You want to give trouble, I come to bring a smile
So ride out, nobody eh go miss you
Cause I eh leaving!

Because..

Trinidad is my country and I’m proud
I go climb up a tree like a monkey and shout it loud
Although some people dem just don’t like mih
And dey just want to destroy mih country
I go just make mih lyrics reach here for now.

I go start to bun de fire
Bun dem hypocritical liar
Who go roll over we like tire
Want we country to expire
But it guarded by the Messiah
They’ll run until dey perspire
When dey stop is brimstone and fire
Take yuh rag out, wave it up higher
Print it and put it on a flier
For too long I say we’ve been quiet
Get on bad cause dis is a riot
Everybody jump up in de choir

Say..

Trinidad is my country and I’m proud
I go climb up a tree like a monkey and shout it loud
Although some people dem just don’t like mih
And dey want to destroy mih country
I go just make mih lyrics reach here for now.

I go put dem boy out mih island
Cause dem bad boy, dem get too violent
How de hell you could kill a child and?
Kidnap people in…. ?
And murder people in all kind ah style?
Make dem boys want me get wild and
Start to place fire from a mile
With the father right by mih side and
All mih ghetto youths by mih side and
Soca warriors by mih side and
De Asylum crew by mih side and
All dem bad boy dem have to ride out.

Trinidad is my country and I’m proud
I go climb up a tree like a monkey and shout it loud
Although some people, dem just don’t like mih
And dey just want to destroy mih country
I go just make mih lyrics reach here for now

I go start to bun de fire
Bun dem hypocritical liar
Who go roll over we like tire
Want we county to expire
But it guarded by the Messiah
They’ll run until dey perspire
When dey stop is brimstone and fire
Take yuh rag out, wave it up higher
Print it and put it on a flier
For too long I say we’ve been quiet
Get on bad cause dis is a riot
Everybody jump up in de choir

Say...

Trinidad is my country and I’m proud
I go climB up a tree like a monkey and shout it loud
Although some people dem just don’t like mih
And dey just want to destroy mih country
I go just make mih lyrics reach here for now

Yow, I don tell both a weh cyah live on de same island

Clean dem out from county to county…

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
