Nah Go Back There Songtext
von Macka B

The other day me inna one shop a England
And the man a talk ′bout the murders inna Jamaica
And even though him born there
Him saying we never go back there again
Not even to visit
Me ask him what about the positive
Him say him no business
Him no waan see that place there again
Me tell him say never say never my friend

Him say him nah go back there
Say him tired of yard
Him say the people dem a live like dog
Him say him nah go back there
Him no like wha' gwaan
Even though a there say him born
Him say him nah go back there
Not even vacation
Sell off him house and land
Him say him nah go back there


Him tell me a true
Maccabee him say what about you
Me tell him me a go down there
Like many others a do
Flights from Gatwick airport full every Sunday

Japanese, Chinese, African, German, American
Everyone a go down there
Me a been a true
A lot of people love it like I do
And them still a go down there

Them still a go true
You waan see the customs queue
You say never again
Me say mind that talk
Look ′pon New York where gunshot used to bark
Look how the place have a change of heart
You can walk inna the park after dark

Right now Jamaica is going through a phase
But it don't have to stay like a this always
See the positive, you give thanks and pray
And look for a better day


Say him nah go back there
Say him tired of yard
Him say the people dem a live like dog
Him say him nah go back there
Him no like wha' gwaan
Even though a there say him born
Him say him nah go back there
Not even vacation
Sell off him house and land
Him say him nah go back there

Him tell me a true
Maccabee him say what about you

Me say me sisters down there
And me cousins too
Me nieces and me nephew
Me family down there

And me brothers too
And none of them no inna no crew
Good vibes deh down there

And the bad vibes too

Depends what you are into
Nuff joker ′round there
Some people a screw
And it no nice weh some people a do
Me say me nah tell no lie
The murder rate it too high
Somebody have to find out the reasons why
Political, social that can′t be denied
And musically too much bad boy
All me know if it was not for Rastafari

A talk peace and a love more youth woulda die
Them deh youth yah a warrior

Stolen from Africa

Brought here fi sorry
A mental barrier

Headlines look bad that a true
But you can't judge a place by the actions of the few
All of the artists and DJs too
Why don′t you have a gun lyrics curfew?

That mean fi six month no talk no violence
Let us just see if it make a difference
'Cause you know say you really have nuff influence
Jah know say it really make sense

Say him nah go back there
Say him tired of yard
Him say the people dem a live like dog
Him say him nah go back there
Him no like wha′ gwaan
Even though a there say him born
Him say him nah go back there
Not even vacation
Sell off him house and land
Him say him nah go back there

But after we talk
Him seem to have a change of heart
And say him might go back there
When me reason with him
Suddenly him start thinking
Him say him might go back there
Him say you never know
Maccabee make me see how it go
Him say him might go back there

When me reason with him
Suddenly him start thinking
Him say him might go back there

Maccabee gone
And a no there say him born
