No Way Better Than Yard

[Intro]
Great sound's call "Jamaica are little Africa"
Originated by [?] at the control tower
Do it, Jah! (Lord have mercy)

[Chorus]
Jamaica, it's a little Africa
Jamaica, it's a little Africa
Mi say, Jamaica, it's a little Africa (Bummo!)
Jamaica, it's a little Africa
An' I was born in Jamaica
An' I was born in Jamaica

[Verse 1]
Jah, mi say, in a seventy-three, mi say, mi mama send fi mi
In a seventy-three, mi say, mi mama send fi mi
No, true, she hear mi join bad company
No, true, she hear mi join bad company
But, when mi come a New York, mi never plan fi stay long
An' in a eighty-one, mi say, mi went to England
Fi go set up a business plan
An' also fi meet two musician
Mi tell you, dis is what mi want you understand (Slam-bam-dili-dili)

[Refrain]
Jah know, mi check it out, Lord-oy (Hey!)
No where no better than yard (Sing-sing-sing-sing)
Jah know, mi check it out, Lord-oy
No where no sweet like yard

[Verse 2]
For, when mi deh on yard, mi cyaan get no cali
An' every draw mi get, mi said, a so-so folly
But when mi deh a yard, mi get di good sensi
Mi get di can-trash, go fi go burn di cali
Mi burn di cali an' then mi feel irie
Meantime did a think 'bout his majesty

[Chorus]
For, King Selassie, him a God almighty
For, King Selassie, him a God almighty
No one cyaan charge I fi blasphemy
Beca' mi love King Selassie (Slam-bam-dili-dili)

[Refrain]
Jah know, mi check it out, Lord-oy
No where no better than yard (Tell it to dem, boom!)
Jah know, mi check it out, Lord
No where no sweet like yard

[Verse 3]
Mi say, I know any man cyaan come trax with mi
I know any man cyaan come trax with mi
Him have fi come a with di big bag of sensi
Him have fi come a with di big bag of sensi
Beca' mi love to burn the sensi well plenty
Mi love to burn the sensi well plenty

[Chorus]
Mi say, when it come to sensi, mi no make no joke
A mi no check a none-a fi di ting call "coke"
A strictly sensimilla mi deh smoke
A strictly sensimilla mi deh smoke (Hey!)

[Outro]
Give mi a draw of sensimilla

An' the kind to relax my nerve (Lord!)
I tell you, give mi a draw of sensimilla
Di kind of herb I deserve
An' the kind to relax my nerve
