Yuh born in Trinidad but yuh tink yuh is ah African
In fact you, dey doh want yuh there
Yuh born in Trinidad but yuh tink yuh is ah Chinaman
In fact you, dey doh want yuh there
Yuh born in Grenada but yuh tink yuh is ah American
In fact you, dey doh want yuh there
Yuh born in Jamaica but yuh tink yuh is ah Canadian
In fact you, dey doh want yuh there
Yuh born in Tobago but yuh tink yuh is ah Indian
In fact you, dey doh want yuh there
Yuh born one place and say yuh from somewhere else
In fact you, dey doh want yuh there

Ah doh tink yuh get de picture
Ah doh tink yuh ever went
Smile Smile if dey tink yuh visiting
Buh doh leh time overspent
Is one world, one big big world
But ah set ah small minds
And dey mind unkind

You see dey in ah different frame
With ah number and ah name
False pride, ah wicked game
Kill truth, no one to blame

Ah didn't want to write dis song
Sure as hell ain't gonna sing along
Too falsified to live in peace
And realise that north, south, west or east
Is still one world, Oh just one world
Doh mess it up no more............................Solo

Well leh we adopt dey mentality
And we could be ah first world country
So if yuh born in America and tink yuh from Trinidad
In fact you, we doh want yuh here
If yuh born in Africa and say yuh is ah Trini
If fact you, you eh one ar we
Well if yuh born in Pakistan and yuh call yuhself Trini
Hey in fact you, oh woh zindagee

Though we come from different places
We are different sexes and races
One world we live in protect your environs
Divide to stick together seems an ample solution
If we can't seem to live in cooperation
Let's hope dey do it in de next generation!
