Mi nah go say we perfect, we have we many faults
An’ to tell the truth mi nah go lie nuff time eye water fall
But fi a little island independent fifty years
We make we contribution at home and everywhere

No place no deh pon earth right now weh reggae never play
And everybody everywhere a locks all kinda hair
Now leave out the sinsemellia, we no have fi talk bout that
But rum instead a whisky, who you think own that

Jerk, Ackee, Coffee, the world a call we name
Bobsled, Bolt and Molly Rhone we change the global game
Miss Lou , Rex, Garvey, Rasta, the power in wiself
Make people have a glimpse o’ we and try fi change themsleves

So lift you head Jamaican , stan’ up straight and shout out loud
Fifty years and counting we have plenty reason to be proud
