Lyrics (from album jacket) ::

---------------------------------------------------

Out in the street... They call it murder!

Verse one::

Welcome to Jamrock
Camp whe' te thugs dem camp at
Two pound a weed inna van back
It inna yuh handbag yuh nap sack
It inna yuh back pack
The smell a give ya girlfriend contact
Some bwoy nuh know this
Dem only come around like tourist
On the beach with a few club soda
Bedtime stories
And pose like dem name Chuck Norris
And don't know the real hardcore
Cause Sandals a no "Back-to"
Di thugs dem wi' do whe' dem got to
And won't think twice to shot you
Don't mek dem spot you
Unless you carry guns a lot too
A bear tuff thing come at you
When Trenchtown man stop laugh and block off traffic
Den dem wheel and pop-off and dem start clap it
With the pin file dow and it a beat rapid
Police come inna jeep an' dem can't stop it
Some say dem a playboy, a playboy rabbit
Get drop like a bad habit
So no bother pose tuff if you don't have it
Rastafari stands alone!

Chorus::

Welcome to Jamrock, hey!
Welcome to Jamrock
Out in the streets they call it murder
Uh!

Verse two::

Welcome to Jamdown
Poor people a dead at random
Political violence can't done
Bare ghosts and Phantom
The youth dem get blind by stardom
Now the king of kings a call
Old man to pickney
So wave unno hand if you with me
To see the sufferation sick me
Dem suit nah fit me
To win election dem trick we
Den dem don't do nothing at all
Come on let's face it
A ghetto education's basic
And most of the youths dem waste it
And when dem waste it, that's when dem tek the guns replace it
Then dem don't stand a chance at all!
And that's why a nuff little youth have some fat matic
With the exra magazine inna dem back pocket
And a bleach a night time inna some black jacket
All who nah lock Gloc, say dem a lock rocket
Dem wi' full you up a current like a shock socket
Dem wi' run a road block which part the cops block it
And from now till a morning nuh stop block it
If dem run outta rounds a bruk-back ratchet

Chorus::

Welcome to Jamrock (South side, North side)
Welcome to Jamrock (East coast, West coast)
Yow!
Welcome to Jamrock (Cornwal, Middlesex and Surrey yaw)
Eh!
Welcome to Jamrock

Outro::

Out in the street they call it murder
Jamaica... Jamaica (x4)
Welcome to Jamrock (x5)
