Border Patrol
It's getting harder, harder to
Get across the border, ain't no jive
Trying harder, harder to get
Across the border, to hit the I95
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
Going to Miami via Vancouver
Coming from Jamaica
I was on di outside, for some reason
They won't let me enter
I went to the border
They say my passport was not in order
Seven of us got back on the bus
Felt like a loser
We rent some rooms, we got some food
Am I a dreamer i went to some club
They were playing reggae-rock and blues-a
I know I'm a winner
But this time they say I'm a loser
But, I said, "Hey" But, I said, "Hey"
It's getting harder, harder to
Get across the border, ain't no jive
Trying harder, harder to get
Across the border, to hit the I95
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
The next day I came back to the embassy
I was an early birdie at eight-thirty
Set the mouse free, let him enter
Don't forget, immigrants build this country
Out of all the people me
They decided to pull over
"Hey, sir, come this way
You look like somebody we a look for"
Searching my bag, take my shoe
Ran it through the computer
Wu-pem pay wu-pem-pem-pem-pem-pem pay-ow
Wu-pem pay wu-pem-pem-pem-pem-pem pay-ow
It's getting harder, harder to
Get across the border, ain't no jive
Trying harder, harder to get
Across the border, to hit the I95
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
Cock-a doodle doo, doodle doo
I am no rooster stop spinning me around like
I'm some roller coaster
You make it seems, I'm the most wanted
Take me out of this room
It's so scary and haunted
Jamaica, Jamaica, I am a teacher
I'm a singer, I'm an actor
Born entertainer
You taken away my passport and my visa
Sending me way back to Jamaica
It's getting harder, harder to
Get across the border, ain't no jive
Trying harder, harder to get
Across the border, to hit the I95
It's getting harder, harder to
Get across the border, ain't no jive
Trying harder, harder to get
Across the border, to hit the I95
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
I was on my way to
California coming from Tijuana
I was there with a Mexican
Who was a Pancho Villa
He said to me, "Do you want burrito
Taco or salsa?" i said, I've got to go
I've got to go to California
Immigration officer, let me pass the border
You know I've got to do
A show in Los Angeles, california
It's getting harder, harder to
Get across the border, ain't no jive
Trying harder, harder to get
Across the border, to hit the I95
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
Going to Miami via Vancouver
Coming from Jamaica
I was on di outside, for some reason
They won't let me enter
I went to the border
They say my passport was not in order
Seven of us got back on the bus
Felt like a loser we got some food and we
Got some rooms in Vancouver
We went to some club they
Were playing reggae-rock and blues-a
I'm kind-a confused-a
I guess I was winner but this
Time they say I'm the loser
Kind-a confused-a, what I said
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
I'll walk, I'll talk
But I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
It's getting harder, harder to
Get across the border, ain't no jive
