Jamaican Woman

(album: I Rise - 2014)

I am black and I'm strong in every way (strong black woman)
Trodding to the top of the mountain
Jah Jah in control of me life as me stepping
Me no fear, me no fear, no foe
All the pressures of life a surround me
And the [?] try fi confound me
Make dem labba and chat, come a bubbling like a pot
And my blessings come up to the max (to the max)

I'm a strong Jamaican woman
I'm a strong, strong, strong Jamaican woman
I'm a strong Jamaican woman
I'm a strong, strong, strong Jamaican woman

Woman! Aye, yo

We're living in a God blessed country (we're blessed)
Where the women them have natural beauty
Say we're black and we're brown
We fi turn it up loud, and no make the system come trap we
If we leggo negative vibration (leggo negativity)
Strictly love inna this yah iration (iration)
More love we a say, strength we a say
Strong woman, sing this conscious song

I'm a strong Jamaican woman
I'm a strong, strong, strong Jamaican woman
I'm a strong Jamaican woman
I'm a strong, strong, strong Jamaican woman

A strong black woman will step up to the plate
And work to achieve her goal
A strong black woman respects herself
Assertive and takes control
A strong black woman no deal with [?]
Nah no ray ray, no way
She's a lover, she's a leader, she's a fighter
Hear what I say

Black and I'm strong in every way (strong black woman)
Trodding to the top of the mountain
Jah Jah in control of me life as me stepping
Me no fear, me no fear, no foe
All the pressures of life a surround me
And the [?] try fi confound me
Make dem labba and chat, come a bubbling like a pot
And my blessings come up to the max (to the max)

I'm a strong Jamaican woman
I'm a strong, strong, strong Jamaican woman
I'm a strong Jamaican woman
I'm a strong, strong, strong Jamaican woman

I'm a strong Jamaican woman
I'm a strong, strong, strong Jamaican woman
I'm a strong Jamaican woman
I'm a strong, strong, strong Jamaican woman
