The black, green and gold flag will be going up the medal poles so many times that they will say "Jamaica AGAIN?!" Bob Marley's Bad Card has the answer to this, "You a-go tired fe see me face; Can't get me out of the race." Commentators, sportsmen and the viewing world a go tiyad a we face! The champions in our midst will make us proud and the Jamaican flag will be flown many times! Me say them can't get we out of the race!
2. Strong will continue by Nas & Damian Marley
Injuries, nay-sayers and doubters will be there for the athletes to deal with and one song that comes to my mind as a wayto settle their minds! Strong will continue by Nas & Damian Marley! "Only the strong will continue,do you have it in you?" The mettle embedded in each Jamaican soul will be shown as they will answer with a resounding spirit as we will always rebound! The black triangles in our represent the adversity Jamaica has overcome and for hardships it may have in the future. And for each hardship our athletes will rise above it and make us proud!
3. Call me a yardie by Stylo G
"Call me a yardie, call me a yardie" Each and every jackmandora in Jamaica has their flag proudly highlighting their Jamaican-ness! Jamaica 50 and the Olympics has ignited the patriotic spirit of our nation and Stylo G's single, always gets me pumped as I proudly proclaim myself a yardie! The whola a we a yardie!
The mellow tune of Sweet Jamaica-Mr Vegas, Shaggy and Josey Wales in my ears always makes me want to grab a coconut jelly and do a skank! Highlighting the many positives our small island in its lyrics, the song always conjures the images of the celebrated moments of Beijing especially when our three girls stood atop the medal podium with our flag flying high. I always wave my hand when the song directs you, "if you love Jamaica mek me see you hand". "Mi proud a me island" described the warm feeling in my heart as our athletes walked the Olympic stadium today in London! Sweet sweet Jamaica me nah lef yah!
6. On the Go by Movado
Every time I listen to On the Go by Movado I end up running to watch clips of our winning efforts by Team Jamaica! "Bullet, Jamaicans faster than bullet" signifies the fact that our nation is the sprint capital of the world! Yes fi wi likkle nation! When other countries see our colours on the track they quiver in their spikes and rightly so! "We going, we gone" Watch them try to catch us as Team Jamaica brings home the gold!
7.Jamaica United- Rise Up! -Various Artistes
Jamaica United- Rise Up! was made for our Reggae Boys in 1998 and is still one of the greatest songs ever made by our Jamaican artistes! We should all rally behind our athletes as they "rise up and stand and take their place" in London! Let us unite for our fiftieth year! Eliminate party lines and all different preferences and rally behind our athletes like we did for the Reggae Boys in 1998! It is time for us to run and jump on each other as we celebrate the efforts our athletes! First, second or last dem a fi we athletes so let us support dem no matta wat!
