Song Lyrics

This is Ethnic
Oh Lord this is Ethnic, oh yeah

Dem a talk bout equal opportunity act
But immigrants in America a put up with a lot
Not just the system, no it is not culture shock
It's more an ism, and it a gripe me a lot, for

It is ethnic and it is a natural fact
Ethnic, make it rather worse if you black.

Man and man have to work hard to get fi we share
But you got a lot a people deh pon welfare
When dem see the fruits of you hard labor
Den them ago tell you bout wha you favor
Whey you come from, whoa like a wha you a do ya
Like them no know who a do the favor

It is ethnic and it is a natural fact
Ethnic, make it rather worse if you black.

Dung a yard, how we never know say we black
But we come to America, them point out that
Dung a yard, we never know say we black
We come to America them point out that
And fi we browning, that we celebrating
In a foreign, is just another black thing
Yes fi we browning, that we celebrating
In a foreign, is just another black thing

It is ethnic and it is a natural fact
Ethnic, make it rather worse if you black.

First you hear say a black man do something wrong
Then the next thing you hear say a Jamaican
Them say Jamaican
West Indian, the whole a them a one
Jamaica is the capital of the islands.
Them say Jamaican
West Indian, the whole a them a one
Jamaica is the capital of the Island.
