Sister Carol

[Intro]
An' Marcus Garvey say "Africa is for di Africans"
Those at home, those dung deh yard
An' also those abroad, you know? (Right!)

[Chorus]
Say, I an' I have di potential (Bam-dili-dili)
We have di credential
In a dance hall, concert an' rehearsal (Lord have mercy)
Dem call mi Sister Carol (Why, star?)

[Verse 1]
I said, six months ago mi visit in Chicago
Mi go there quite simply fi go star up a show
When mi reach Chicago, Jah Jah know, it did a snow
But dat a never stop mi from a get pon di go
Mi ride some riddim fast, an' mi ride some slow
Mi ride di riddim like him nearly a bimbo
Don't you know mi 'way to mash it in Chicago?
Mi mash it in Chicago (Bam-dili-dili)
Mi rock yankee, Lord, mi rock yardie
Mi also rock American whitie
Then mi forward in a New York City
Fi go kiss an' caress fi mi two pickney

[Chorus]
Say dat, mi have di potential (Lord)
An' mi have di credential
In a dance hall, concert an' rehearsal (Hey, d'you know?)
Mi will mash it, as per usual

[Verse 2]
But since mi live a Brooklyn as a woman deejay
Mi observe people when dem listen Reggae
Dem try to understand every word dat you say
In addition to dat, him buy di records to play
It movin' like a cancer in di US of A
Concert mi make most of di UK
Mi hear, say, dem love it in di USSR
Dem have fi pack up in a bus an' pack up in a car
Fi listen Reggae music an' stop make war

[Chorus]
We have di potential
Say dat, we have di credential
In a dance hall, concert an' rehearsal

[Verse 3]
Mi see people jump an' stare with fright
Mi see people dance an' swear dem did a fight
Mi witness dis when mi chant at Detroit
Dem say fi mi lyrics can cool down the mic

[Chorus]
'Cause we have di potential (Bam-dili-dili)
We have di credential
In a dance hall, concert an' rehearsal (Really now, star)
Dem call mi Sister Carol

[Bridge]
But Reggae gone international
Say, Reggae gone international
Gone international
Say dat it gone international

[Chorus]
Beca' we have di potential
Say dat we have di credential
In a dance hall, concert an' rehearsal
Where we mash it, as per usual

[Verse 4]
Because we deh pon record, also video
Mi even did go star up a TV show
They know 'bout mi down in Chicago
But, now mi flash it in a studio

[Chorus]
We have di potential
Say dat we have di credential
In a dance hall, concert an' rehearsal
Dem-a call I sister Carol

[Outro]
For Reggae gone international
Jah are di Field Marshal
