JAMAICA ROAD
(This is in patois so needs to be read aloud to get the meaning)
Watch it! Draw brakes! Blow de horn loud, loud!
Truck a come. Taxi a pass. Mini-bus a turn.
Watch de road! Not de traffic. Watch de road!
Pothole everywhere!
Mad, mad driving. Fas' fas' driving.
Pure madman behine de wheel.
Horn a blow. Driver a cuss. Road rage a tek yuh.
De res' a de driver dem is all insane.
Everybody a move fas'. Everybody a head fi de neares' bar.
Dem ca'an wait fi yuh!
Dem will lick yuh down if yuh don' get outa dem way!
Don' watch no scenery. Don' talk to yuh fren'.
Just drive!
Maybe pray a likkle bit.
But watch it!
Blow de horn and drive!
Watch it! Draw brakes! Blow de horn loud, loud!
Truck a come. Taxi a pass. Mini-bus a turn.
Watch de road! Not de traffic. Watch de road!
Pothole everywhere!
Mad, mad driving. Fas' fas' driving.
Pure madman behine de wheel.
Horn a blow. Driver a cuss. Road rage a tek yuh.
De res' a de driver dem is all insane.
Everybody a move fas'. Everybody a head fi de neares' bar.
Dem ca'an wait fi yuh!
Dem will lick yuh down if yuh don' get outa dem way!
Don' watch no scenery. Don' talk to yuh fren'.
