This is the second tribute to Jamaica on the album also written when Jamaica celebrated 50 years of independence from Britain.

lyrics

Verse 1
My mouth is wide open as I watch you run
And count the Olympic medals you've won
I love to read about you in the papers
You're known as a country of record breakers

Chorus
#Jamaicansbelike we likkle but wi tallawah
We can do anything ‘cause Jah mek yah
We know how to live like bredda and sista
#Jamaicansbelike wi likkle but wi tallawah

Verse 2
You play dancehall, and reggae, mento and ska
For friends from Timbuktu to Alaska
You're always in everyone’s good book
They like how you jerk everything when you cook

Bridge
Every morning I get on my knees and pray
That your few problem children will go the right way
Let them know if they really wanna be cool
They have to keep going to church and to school
