Good Morning Mama Jam, I've got to go away
The world is waiting on me
I saw my destiny in a vision
I've got to play my part
So many rainy days and bitter tears I'll face along the way
I need to keep my direction, well then
I'll be there Zion, oh

I've got to work, got to work, got to work right now
I've got to work, got to work right now

Jah people must work, reggae people must work
'Cause Jah Jah music can't stop
'Cause dis ya riddim keep me rocking
Rocking, rocking me away

Jah people must work, reggae people must work
'Cause Jah Jah music can't stop
'Cause dis ya riddim keep me rocking
Rocking, rocking me away

American, African, European skanking to this drum beat
Jamaica, what's wrong with you? Come and hold my hand
Can you embrace this great future?
If you're losing your past? Well
Your present day must be dark, Jamaica
Live up yourself! Well

I've got to work, got to work, got to work right now
I've got to work, got to work right now
I've got to work, got to work, got to work right now
I've got to work, got to work right now

Jah people must work, reggae people must work
'Cause Jah Jah music can't stop
'Cause dis ya riddim keep me rocking
Rocking, rocking me away

Jah people must work, reggae people must work
'Cause Jah Jah music can't stop
'Cause dis ya riddim keep me rocking
Rocking, rocking me away, well

(I've got to work now, I've got to work right now)
(I've got to work now, I've got to work right now)
(I've got to work now, I've got to work right now)
(I've got to work now, I've got to work right now)

Jah people must work, reggae people must work
'Cause Jah Jah music can't stop
'Cause dis ya riddim keep me rocking
Rocking, rocking me away

Jah people must work, reggae people must work
'Cause Jah Jah music can't stop
'Cause dis ya riddim keep me rocking
Rocking, rocking me away, well
