Jackpot is when you win plenty at money
Jail is a place I don't want to go
January the first month of the year
Jealose is when five women fancy
But john is the proper name fe a English man
Jockey is a profisnel horse rider
Me sah June is the sixth month of the year

An jam is when you caint move in a party
Mi say England is a place that covered in snow
Man we drink the ribeana wi don't no like drink beer
But jelly fish jahman mi say them swim in a the sea
Unless you born an bread as a jamican
The pirate them a gather round the jolly roger
Wi wackad as single but wi deadly as a pair

No fe treatment go a hospital

I man pay de rent every Tuesday I man
You a student if you a go to college
Dat a nuff argoument mi say gunny an pablo

Cause a two in a one jab man a two in a one
Two in a one jab man a two in a one
Two in a one jab man a two in a one
Two in a one jab man a two in a one

A say to move from the window
When you come a fiwi dance
But a Babylon picl mi up
And a think to myself
'Cause I'm going to jail
Man is what a going to tell me girl jab know I man was
So I had to get reckless
Because a two in a one jab
Man a two in a one
Two in a one jab man a two in a one
Two in a one jab man a two in a one
Two in a one jab man a two in a one

Two in a one jab man a two in a one
Seh daddy pablo a long with gunslinger
Seh duw to the circumstances pirate setah in the area
Listen to the style an when we throw down
Because a murder it name
Intelligent we chat intelligent
Intelligent we chat intelligent

UB40

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
