Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, yeah! All right!
We're jammin':
I wanna jam it wid you.
We're jammin', jammin'
And I hope you like jammin', too.

Ain't no rules, ain't no vow, we can do it anyhow:
I'n'I will see you through
'Cos everyday we pay the price with a little sacrifice
Jammin' till the jam is through.

We're jammin'
To think that jammin' was a thing of the past
We're jammin'
And I hope this jam is gonna last.

No bullet can stop us now, we neither beg nor we won't bow
Neither can be bought nor sold.
We all defend the right; Jah - Jah children must unite:
Your life is worth much more than gold.

We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin')
And we're jammin' in the name of the Lord
We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin')
We're jammin' right straight from Yah.

Yeh! Holy Mount Zion
Holy Mount Zion
Jah sitteth in Mount Zion
And rules all creation

Yeah, we're, we're jammin' (wotcha-wa)
Wotcha-wa-wa-wa, we're jammin' (wotcha-wa)
See, I wanna jam it wid you
We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin')
I'm jammed, I hope you're jammin', too.

Jam's about my pride and truth I cannot hide
To keep you satisfied.
True love that now exist is the love I can't resist
So jam by my side.

We're Jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin'), yeah-eah-eah!
I wanna jam it wid you
We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin'
We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin'
Hope you like jammin', too
We're jammin', we're jammin' (jammin')
We're jammin', we're jammin' (jammin')
I wanna (I wanna jam it wid you), I wanna
I wanna jam wid you now
Jammin', jammin' (hope you like jammin' too)
Eh-eh! I hope you like jammin', I hope you like jammin'
'Cause (I wanna jam it wid you). I wanna ... wid you.
I like, I hope you, I hope you like jammin', too.
