[Verse]

E A
If I talk again it could drive me mad

E B
I try to talk to the people of Trinidad

E A
If I talk again it could set me mad

E B
I'm tired if talkin' to the people of Trinidad

E B
All kinds of people come and doin' well

E D
And you the Trinidadians only catchin' hell

C# F#m
How many times do you want to be told

B E
Your own comes first all over the world

[Verse]

B E A
If you think I lie, I invite you please

E B
Just take a trip through the West Indies

E A
Make your first stop at Grenada

E B
Tell them that you come to look for labor

E B
If you miss and say you're from Trinidad

E D
They lick you from Grenada down to Fyzabad

C# F#m
But you can't blame them on a whole

B E
My friend, that's the policy of the world

[Chorus]

So, Granadians for Granadians

B E D
Jamaicians for Jamaicians

Even Barbados take the same route

E B E B
Trinidadians, buck up and follow suit

Well now you really lookin for blows
