(Verse 1)
Build wi fi build, wi fi build, wi fi build
Wi fi build Jamaica and stop from kill
Skill wi fi skill, wi fi sharpen wi skill
Don’t end up in a none a the prison weh dem build
Till wi fi till, wi fi till up the soil
And build up wi kyle

Time get hard but wi naw left yah still
(Chorus)
Caw this a fi mi town
This a fi mi district
This a fi mi home and mi naw left alone
Yow this a fi mi town

Saying it again just incase you mist it
This a fi mi town

Yah suh weh mi born and grown mi nuh misfit

(Verse 2)
Youth in a the street dem need a role-model
Suh dem can see how fi reach the pinnacle
Life it hard and a nough obstacle
Suh you haffi check peep because the road sipple
Build wi fi build up wi kyle till hi triple
I must insist every mukkle meck a mickle
Be kind to the blind, and be kind to the cripple
Every man was once a baby pon nipple
Chill wi fi chill and stop floss sometime
Spend dollars and coins pon education
Read you fi read, you fi read, you fi read
That Marcus Garvey tell the nation
Tek out the bye, bye, the meditation
Nough people under sufferation
Nough people under frustration
But wi haffi build back caw better must come
(Repeat Chorus)

Up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh
Meck mi see you hands up if you love fi you country
Up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh
Meck mi see you hands up if you naw go give up deh
Up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh
Jamaica fi stand up and wi have to live up deh
Up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh, up deh
