I've been away in another land / For over nine years
  Had to return to Jamaica now / To set my way clear
  I had to go to the embassy
  To be interviewed by men of authority
  Who didn't want to see I go Through
  So they did all that they could do / Just to slow I down
  Harsh authority was impound
  So then I realise / I was bound in a jam down
  For so long, for so long,
  for so long, so long, long, long, long
  You Mr. Consular man, how come you de pon mi
  Case so long / I know deep in your heart
  You don't want to see me / Go through
  So you started to do, that which you do best
  Being a pest to I, / Being a pest to I
  You start by asking a whole lot of questions
  And even when you get the right anwser
  You don't seem to be satisfy
  So you ask the same question again
  Thinking maybe I got no brain to know
  You want to kris cross my mind
  To use your immigration fine
  I didn't say nothing wrong / I didn't do nothing wrong
  You made your own clue
  Because you didn't want I to go / Mr. Consular Man
  How come you hold on to I man.
  A lot of man try to sojourn the land
  And when they reach up to your hand
  All you do is spoil their plan
  I'm wondering if you are human
  Mr. Consular Man, / Where is your humanitarian?
  Next thing you start with your computer
  And so you start to type I a letter
  Everything was in your favour
  You also had a faulty behaviour
  Mr. Consular Man, / How come you hold on pon I man?
