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
Children must go to school to do some learning
stop waste time bout yuh is calling
Go to school jah man and see what you can win
Like Michael McCallum come up inna boxing
Merlene Ottey she come up inna running
Puppa Jammy him inna producing
Yuh know that Tonto Irie him inna entertaining
Man daddy John Wayne inna entertaining
Junior Reid and Half Pint inna entertaining
It ring, inna wi ears it a ring

cannot feed di elders cannot feed di suckling
me fadda cyaan buy a phensic if mi head is hurting
but 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 me still a try a thing
It a ring, inna we ears it a ring

Children must go to school to do some learning
stop waste time bout yuh is calling
Learn fi do a lickle reading, licke writing,
so you can write your application if a job is open
