Savanna - Jonathan Emile

Geeze

Weh mi deh?

In Savanna

Gunshot corruption smell a marijuana

Badman carry llama

Fi dead all di drama

Mi deh in Savanna

Chant down Babylon still big up to Obama

We have nuff baby mamas

Kerosine gasoline fire pon di corner

Weh mi deh?

In Savanna

Rastaman selling fresh coconut wata

Greed and poverty still dem wan brata

Global warming di summer getting hotter

Same grind a new flex

A suh it go — no bother get vex

Hail mi pon Digicel no bother with di text

Di gyal dem bad you n’a remember your ex

Oh.

Welcome to Savanna

We deh in Savanna

England Canada US a deport dem

Students a workin pon di resort dem

Hotel fi pay education

Honest hustle fi escape di situation

Welcome to Savanna

Where wi deh?

In Savanna

Foreigner thinking all we do is chill

Taxi, minibus shuttle to Negril

Ay, Jerk pon di grill

Blood spill

We love Jamaica still yo

Welcome to Savanna

Politician don false righteous men

Bulletproof Land Rover a escort dem

Government policy it nah reach

Pastors nah practice wha dem preach

Talking ‘bout the ghetto youth we hafi teach yo

I am from Savanna

Mi muma born a Carawina

Nuff people come back nah get dem visa -- Jesus

Violence ready fi shoot

Ratatatat lick off your breadfruit

We need socialism for di ghetto youth yo

Old man carry cane pon donkey pon iPhone

Rum shop chill spot

Di sound of dominoes

Nuff good music -- hurricane woes

Zinc roof gone

Shotta Babylon

Likkle youth gwan inna school uniform playing football

Perm, braids and locks nah conform

Westmoreland

Welcome to Savanna, mi say…

Welcome to Savanna

I can’t even remember the first time I went to Jamaica

But every time I go it’s like a spiritual experience

Going back to my mothers' land, you know

The sights, the sounds the smells

It’s just beautiful

Learning patois as a second language as a Jamaica born-a-foreign

Yo, no pretense just the residents

Seen?

Savanna

(We dehya chillin pon blue beach)

(Manning's school yo, hey everybody)

I got love for Savanna

Dumplin escovitch green banana

Welcome to Savanna

(Yo the waters cold yo)

Dumplin escovitch green banana

(We love you stil)

We deh in Savanna

Welcome to Savanna

Geeze
