(Verse 1)
When it wasn’t salt fish and rice
It was dumpling and mackerel
Every Christmas ghetto youth drink sorrel
Every holiday wi use to wait pon a barrel
And a one Clarks meck mi two brother have a quarrel
Board and zink a no shuvle nore showel
And mi shirt weh mi take off go bade a mi towel
Mi guidance when mi mother gone Mister Howel
When a beating time me name Asafa Powel
(Chorus)
But happy time is here
So everybody put a drink in the air
And just hold on pon yo best friend
From God bless you god bless dem
(Verse 2)
Now everybody dress the cleanest
Show the whole wide world wi a the realest
Yes badmind a the meanest
But dem cyaa kill me cause mi God bless
Me left mi yard mi clean and come out
Me meck sure mi stock my pocket dem full a money
The party dem pack and full a honey
Tugs dem out, a pay girls come out
My girl just wine and show off unu summer body
Enjoy unu self no watch nobody
Me mi no do nothing wrong inna life
Born as a winner so mi haffi live a winner life
Some bwoy life style dimmer than a dimmer light
Colors fi the summer so yo know my color bright

So wi party everyday and night
(Repeat Chorus)
(Outro)

Da song yah bad you fi pull it up, pull it up
Dancers pon di dance floor a bun it up
Under straight high grade and mi liquor nuff
Me left mi yard mi clean and come out
Me meck sure mi stock my pocket dem full a money
The party dem pack and full a honey
Tugs dem out, a pay girls come out
My girl just wine and show off unu summer body
Enjoy unu self no watch nobody
