I've been away in another land
for over 9 years.
Had to return to Jamaica now
to set my way clear.
I had to go to the embassy
to be interviewed by men of authority.
Who didn't want to see I go thru
so they did all that they could do.
Just to slow I down
harsh authority was impound.
So then I realize
I was bound in a jamdown.
For so long!
For so long.
For so long!
So long, long, long, long.

Yo Mr. consular man!
How come you deh pon my case so long?
I know deep in your heart
you don't want to see I go thru.
So you started to do
that which you do best.
Being a pest to I.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay!
Being a pest to I.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay!

You start by asking a whole lot of questions
and even when you get the right answer
you don't seem to be satisfy
so you ask the same question again.
Thinking maybe I ain't got the brain to know
you want to criss cross my mind
to use your immigration fine.

I didn't say nothing wrong!
I didn't do nothing wrong!
You made your own clue
because you didn't want I to go.

Mr. consular man. Yo!
Mr. consular man. Leggo mi hand!
Mr. consular man. Yo!
How come you hold on to I man?
Leggo mi hand!

I didn't say nothing wrong!
I didn't do nothing wrong!
You made your own clue
because you didn't want I to go thru.

Mr. consular man. Yo!
Mr. consular man. Leggo mi hand!
Mr. consular man. Yo!
How come you hold on pon I man?
Leggo mi hand!

A lot of man try to sojourn the land
and when they reach up to your hand
all you do is spoil their plan.
I wonder really if you are human?

Mr. consular man. Yo!
Mr. consular man. Leggo mi hand!
Mr. consular man. Yo!
Where is your humanitarian?
Leggo mi hand!

Next thing you start with your computer
and so you start to type I a letter.
Everything was in your favor.
You also had a faulty behavior.

Mr. consular man. Yo!
Mr. consular man. Leggo mi hand!
Mr. consular man. Yo!
How come you hold on pon I man?
Leggo mi hand!

Yo Mr. consular man!
How come you deh pon my case so long?
I know deep in your heart
you don't want to see I go thru.

Mr. consular man. Yo!
Mr. consular man. Leggo mi hand!
Mr. consular man. Yo!
Mr. consular man!
