"44/876" lyrics - STING

[Intro: Shaggy, Aidonia]
Straight from jamdung to London
Ragga muffin weh wi say (Hey)
Style a style an a pattan a pattan
Didi donia (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Shaggy and Sting ina combination

[Verse 1: Shaggy, Sting]
Wake up to sunshine in di morning
What a beautiful feeling
Me hear the birds them singing
Way up ina the tree limb
Me get a call from the Englishman say him wan come hold a vibes
Him wan run left the cold fi ketch some island life
44 to 876, at the drop of a dime
Link up anytime
44 to 876, call the airline
Fly out anytime
I'm trying to free my mind, and live a life stress free
But the politics of this country are getting to me
I have a dream that I'm swimming in the Caribbean Sea
And then my good friend Shaggy says
"Come spend some time, family"

[Pre-Chorus: Sting]
I hear reggae music, that's playing in the street
With maximum bass at all frequencies
It shakes me to my soul with a positive vibration
I start dreaming of Jamaica and the Caribbean nation

[Chorus: All]
44 to 876
44 to 876

[Verse 2: Shaggy]
Yow
From the 44 go a 876 dat a Kingston town go a London
Big up di UK man dem-bam-bam-bam-bam
Welcome to Jamrock sand
Fly come a yard fi di island breeze
Pretty girl walk 'pon di white sand beach
Try please stay so a rice and peace
876 put yuh mind at ease

[Pre-Chorus: Sting]
I hear reggae music, it carries me away
And the ghost of Bob Marley, that haunts me to this day
There's a spiritual truth in the words of his song
And the Caribbean nation to which they belong

[Chorus: All]
44 to 876 (Oh)
44 to 876
44 to 876
44 to 876

[Outro: Shaggy, Aidonia, Sting]
From di UK, ya
To the shores of Kingston a so it go (Rockers)
Didi donia (Yeah, Shaggy)
Yeah, Sting (yeah, hey)
