We so bad, yet everyone wannabe we, eh?
As a pin drop we dey pon foreign TV, eh?

We so bad, and wi country run-dung, eh?
Yet look how dem prawl off pon we beach, eh?

We so bad, every day we kill a next man, eh?
Yet we always have an outstretched hand, eh?

We so bad, dem say as we see badness we choose it, eh?
Yet a we give the world sweet reggae music, eh?

We so bad, we nuh laugh nor kin teet, eh?
Yet we mek dem smile wid ackee & saltfish, roast yam and fry dumpling, eh?

We so bad, everybody a badman, eh?
Yet a who create the words: “Irie,” ‘Cool nuh star” and “tek is easy”

Jamaicans who we are proud to be
You nuh see that everybody wanna be we, eh?
