Usain guh before dem, guh before dem.
Dem get dust when dem run up.
Shelly-Ann guh before dem, guh before dem.
We hot like the sun dem get bun up.
They don’t want to see we rise.
They just want to see we fall.
Yohan Blake guh before dem, guh before dem.
Wi nah watch some hurry come up.

“Like all Jamaicans, I’m very proud of our athletes, and that’s why I have recorded this song to big them up and encourage them to continue to excel and keep the Jamaican flag flowing high.
