Your Own Comes First

歌詞

If I talk again it could drive me mad I try to talk to the people of Trinidad If I talk again it could set me mad I'm tired if talkin' to the people of Trinidad All kinds of people come and doin' well And you the Trinidadians only catchin' hell How many times do you want to be told Your own comes first all over the world If you think I lie, I invite you please Just take a trip through the West Indies Make your first stop at Grenada Tell them that you come to look for labor If you miss and say you're from Trinidad They lick you from Grenada down to Fyzabad But you can't blame them on a whole My friend, that's the policy of the world So, Granadians for Granadians Jamaicians for Jamaicians Even Barbados take the same route Trinidadians, buck up and follow suit Well now you really lookin' for blows If you think you goin' anchor in Barbados The Bajuns goin' tell you you bloomin' fast Don't you know Bajuns first and outsiders last Then you heist your anchor to Jamaica Feelin' that your chances might be better But as I've led you to understand Boy, we only have work here for Jamaicans I'm not all selfish, I love to give And I believe in the slogan live and let live If the other islands aren't doin' that Well I don't see why we should be Miss Howard's cat It's time to go into the reverse Do like other nations put your people first You must do as you are told Or you would be the laughing stock of the world
