There's an old dancehall-style song that I heard back in...the late 80s or early 90s, I'm not sure which exactly, but I'm pretty sure it was in that era. The lyrics went something like this from what I can remember - I am not as well versed in patois as I probably should be, and I'm probably going to butcher some of this, for which I apologize.

I can only remember little bits and pieces of the lyrics, but the first line below is more or less how I remember the chorus going.:

-"We don't want no government to die for, them a come extradite we"

-We are the leaders of the JLP"

-"You fi extradite him, you fi extradite we, you fi extradite anybody"

-"We develop them land, we are the backbone of the country"

It's obviously a more politically charged song, and seems to be talking about a crackdown on the Jamaican Labor Party (I'm assuming from the JLP reference). For the life of me it sounds in my head a lot like a Super Cat song, but it doesn't show up in any discography of his and I don't remember him really doing a ton of politically motivated songs.

All of this is why I feel like it was on a mixtape or even something I heard on the radio way back when, rather than as a major album release, possibly to avoid a crackdown, I don't know.

Any help on this would be sorely appreciated as I've been dying to hear this song again!
