    Have we lost our mind? Others are starving and we are making money.
    I remember when we could not find change for 100 jdm$ in the morning and now we are building 5000 jdm$ to fool whom.

    What wrong with the money that we already have?
    We have sold our small island from Pound to bound now we have make a pack with the Devil and put our soul on the line.

    Wake Up Wake Up Jamaicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
    Where is the Church? Where are the Saint of the Living God?
