Real Warriors JAM
Jamaica's Unyielding Spirit: Real Warriors Anthem
Lyrics
I stand with the proudest chest
I proudly stand my ground
There while they sit upon the fence
While others remain undecided or neutral
My style might cause offence
My unique style may offend some
Because I’m Jamaica’s defence
Because I am the defense of Jamaica
I see through the dark with no current
I navigate through difficulties without external support
JPS chop it off fi lent
Jamaica Public Service (JPS) cuts off electricity for lack of payment
I’m struggling to pay my rent
I struggle to pay my rent
Still mi nar guh a road guh beg
Yet, I won't go on the streets to beg
Cause real warriors nuh give up wid nuh ease
True warriors persist without giving up easily
Sometime yuh half beat the trap before yuh get the cheese
Sometimes overcoming obstacles is necessary before achieving success
More time yuh haffi feel the sun before you get the breeze
Enduring hardships is part of the journey to success
Suh dats why yuh haffi hold it a nuh badda call nuh cree
Hence, holding on without complaining is essential
Yo
Expression of affirmation or agreement
Real warriors nuh give up wid nuh ease
Reiteration of the resilience of real warriors
Sometime yuh half beat the trap before yuh get the cheese
Reemphasizing the need to overcome challenges for success
More time yuh haffi feel the sun before you get the breeze
Highlighting the importance of enduring difficulties
Suh dats why yuh haffi hold it a nuh badda call nuh cree
Stressing the necessity of perseverance without complaining
Mi babymodda start get vex
My child's mother becomes angry
Seh mi fi get it nuh matter what it tek
She insists I obtain what is needed at any cost
Shi mek mistake run guh tell her fren
She makes a mistake by sharing information with a friend
Now mi get message a offer back fi bend
Resulting in an offer for compromise
D Fren seh one ram can pay the rent
The friend suggests that one intimate encounter can cover the rent
So long as shi get all the lent
As long as she receives the money lent
Mi did haffi rebuke it wid all mi strent
I strongly reject this proposition

Now I can rebuild the family and home
And this song more than pays the rent
The song's success helps more than paying rent
Mi haffi tank Jah wid all a mi strent…
