It A Ring

It a ring inna me ears it a ring

It a ring inna me ears it a ring

Now each and everyday we hear poor people crying

Cannot feed di elders cannot feed di suckling

Me fadda cyaan buy a phensic if mi head is hurting

Now living in jamaica is a wonderful thing

Lot of food and water when di sun is shining

But all over di world people is suffering

They don't know where to turn to make a living

Ambitious... we haffi live pon hustlin

We nah turn a thief we prefer do some sellin'

Seller out there more than buyer but we stil a try a thing

Now it a ring, inna we ears it a ring

It a ring, inna we ears it a ring

Now mi hold di michrophone now like a damn safety pin

Yuh jook me with a pin Jah a go charge yuh fi sin

We got to be conscious in this world we livin in

Some bwoy nowadays man dem follow fashion

And marry fi dem girl and give her pretty redding wing(wedding ring)

And when di wedding done and dem no have no ¿?

It a ring, inna we ears it a ring

It a ring, inna we ears it a ring
