Tonto Irie – It A Ring Lyrics

Artist: Tonto Irie
Song: It A Ring

Well, this one dedicated to all the people dem who a suffer all over the world
Lord have mercy! (Lord)
Now, it a ring; In a mi ears it a ring
It a ring; In a mi ears it a ring

Now, each and every day we hear poor people crying
Can not feed di elders, can not feed di suckling
Mi father can’t buy a phensic if mi head is hurting
Now, living in Jamaica is a wonderful thing

Lots of food and water when the sun is shining
But, all over the world people is suffering
They don’t know where to turn to make a living
Ambitious like we, we have fi live ‘pon hustling

We nah turn a thief, we prefer do some selling
Seller out there more than buyer, but we still a try a thing
Now, it a ring; In a we ears it a ring
It a ring; In a we ears it a ring

Now mi hold di microphone now a like a damn safety pin
You jook me with a pin, Jah a go charge you fi sin
We got to be conscious in this world we’re living in
Some boy nowadays, man, them follow fashion

An’ marry fi dem girl an’ give her pretty wedding ring
An’ when di wedding done a them no have no furthing
It a ring; In a we ears it a ring
It a ring; In a we ears it a ring

Children must go to school to do some learning
Stop waste time ’bout you is schoolin’
Go to school, Jah man, an’ seal what you can win
Like Michael McCallum come up in a boxing

Merlene Ottey, she come up in a running
Pupa Jammy, him in a producing
One daddy John Wayne, in a entertaining
Junior Reid and Half Pint, in a entertaining

It a ring; In a we ears it a ring
It a ring; In a we ears it a ring
Now, each and every day we hear poor people crying
Can not feed di elders, can not feed di suckling

Mi father cyaan buy a phensic if mi head is hurting
But, living in Jamaica is a wonderful thing
Lot of food and water, man, di sun is shining
But, all over the world people is suffering

They don’t know where to turn to make a living
Ambitious like we, may have fi live a hustling
Mi nah turn a thief, mi prefer do some selling
Seller out there more than buyer, but mi still a try a thing

Now, it a ring; In a we ears it a ring
It a ring; In a we ears it a ring
Children must go to school to do some learning
Stop waste time ’bout you is schoolin’

Must fi do a little reading, little writing
So you can write an application if a job is open
It a ring; In a we ears it a ring
It a ring; In a we ears it a ring

Now mi sit upon di riddim like a lizard pon a ling
Sit down pon di riddim like a [?] pon a ring
Now mi hold di microphone now a like a damn safety pin
We got to be conscious in this world we’re living in

Jook me with a pin, Jah a go charge you fi sin
Now, it a ring; In a we ears it a ring
It a ring; In a mi ears it a ring
Sit upon di riddim a like a lizard pon a ling

Sit down pon di riddim like [?]
For di, man, mi never sight such a dangerous ting
Get ‘way di queen, mi say, from di king
An’ now dem want mi, want mi, want mi, want mi in a Brooklyn

Dem want mi, want mi, want mi, want mi in a foreign
But, it a ring; In a we ears it a ring
It a ring; In a we ears it a ring
Children must go to school to do some learnin’

Stop waste time ’bout you is schoolin’
Don’t throw your talent in a rubbish bin
Just go to school, Jah man, an’ see what you can win
Like Michael McCallum come up in a boxing

Merlene Ottey, she come up in a running
Man John Wayne, him in a di entertaining
Junior Reid an’ Half Pint in a entertaining
Now, it a ring; In a mi ears it a ring

It a ring; In a mi ears it a ring
We got to be conscious in this world we’re living in
Jook mi with a pin, Jah a go charge you fi sin
Dem want mi, want mi, want mi, want mi in a foreign

Dem want mi, want mi, want mi, want mi in a Brooklyn
