A Fi We Country Lyrics - Singles - Max Romeo

A fi we country 

Mek we live it up, alright 

A fi we country 

So no mash it up, yes 

A fi we something 

So mek we use it up 

A fi we country 

So no shoot it up, no mash it up 

Thinking of a vacation the other day 

All work and no play makes a dull day 

My woman, she looks at me and says (yeah) 

Why not take a vacation in Montego Bay 

'Cause 

A fi we country 

Mek we live it up, alright 

A fi we country 

So no mash it up, yes 

A fi we something 

Mek we use it up 

A fi we country 

So no shoot it up, no mash it up 

I said, "Woman, I prefer a foreign land 

Where I can pretend to be a big-shot man" 

She said, "Have you tried rafting on the Rio Grande? 

Or clompering on Negril's white sand?" 

Yes 

A fi we country 

Mek we live it up, alright 

A fi we country 

So no mash it up, yes 

A fi we country 

Mek we build it up, alright 

A fi we country 

So no shoot it up, no mash it up 

"Honey, I know it's my own land, 

But those places are for the foreign man" 

She said, "Oh no, it couldn't be so, 

You can be a visitor in your own land" 

I know that we have traveled far 

From those slave markets in Zanzibar 

This land is our own sweat and blood 

So let's live it up, live it up, don't shoot it up 

'Cause 

A fi we country 

Mek we live it up, alright 

A fi we country 

So no mash it up, yes 

A fi we something 

So mek we use it up 

A fi we country 

So no shoot it up, no mash it up
