In Jamaica dem say. Time come.
Time for action, Time to perfom
Time to put up or shut up
Time to put T&T on top.
Time to stand up and shout
To show what we about!
Time for patriots to prevail
While all de rest hold dey tail.
Time for only de positive
Stamp out all de negative.
Time for us to believe
The lofty goal we can achieve.
Time to change the usual sad story
And embrace the dreams of World Cup glory.
To this end we must toil
Every son and daughter of this soil
We must not rest till the job is done
For our tiny nation surely…….Time come!
For independence our forefathers fought
To give up now means it was for naught
Our independence we now celebrate
Let us fight to determine our fate.
For this is more than a football game
We must defend our country’s name.
It is ever so easy to quit
On the fence, losers surely sit.
No need to protect ourselves with nonchalance.
Those cowards may as well…… Go to France.
For a true warrior is brave
Fighting until he reach his grave.
This football game is about everyone
For all true warriors surely ………..Time come!
The Government may not understand
The love and passion we have for our land.
They arrogantly wastin’ money in Tarouba
While our players are made to suffer.
Of World Cup qualification they have no clue
How much this would mean to me and you.
They bury their heads deep in the sand
As their development policies destroy this land.
Our leaders fill us with a sense of shame.
That is why this is more than a football game.
For 90 minutes we can forget
The illogical decisions of the Cabinet.
The so-called leaders who ignore, Dick, Harry and Tom.
Have no fear, for them soon……..Time come!
For members of the media who feel they know
Espousing negativity on their radio talk show.
One should take the time to investigate
As once we qualify it will be too late
To retract the negativity you helped disseminate.
Talking before thinking in an unfortunate trait.
Keep in mind Trinbagonians will certainly remember
When we beat Guatemala on the third of September
Always try to carefully scrutinize and analyse
Before opening your mouths to carelessly criticise.
The media has an awesome responsibility
To provide facts and analysis with pristine clarity.
And when proven wrong, those who play dumb
Should surely watch out because soon………Time come!
Sweet T&T is plagued with crime
Murder and kidnapping all of the time.
When and where we went wrong
Who knows? But we can’t go on like this for long.
Everyday another citizen get kill
From Scarborough to San Fernando Hill.
Our leaders do not know what to do
That is why this game means so much to me and you.
Even gang members would feel a sense of pride
And will be able to put their differences aside.
Kidnappers will feel great too
And not go hunting for me and you.
This will happen at least for a while
And help us to suppress the choking bile.
Of the spiraling crime rate we are shame
Yet all of us must share in de blame.
All frivolous excuses are simply lame
September third is much more than a football game.
Criminals and bandits tormenting everyone
Have no fear, for them too soon……….Time come!
Our players must wholeheartedly understand
They are the frontline warriors to defend this land.
The football pitch is their battleground
Their hearts, mind, bodies and souls must be sound.
To physically give of their best is not enough
They must carefully prepare to be mentally tough.
Guatemala must not know what hit them
The tide of Red, white and black they cannot stem.
We must beat them with brain, skill, tactics and hustle
Not easing up until after the final whistle.
Guatemala believes that points could be won
They are confused because soon………..Guatemala time ome!
Go Warriors!
Happy Independence Day T&T!
