Ah soh yuh stay

Yuh ongle ah tink one way

But I'm not a one way DJ

People from east west north and south

Say I'm the MC with the nasty mouth

Dem feel like is pure slackness

Alone I can talk about

Who is the route Robert Nesta

And Bunny Wailer follow after

It is music mi charge for

Look how deh world noh stop suffer

What have black people under pressure

Some talk dis and some talk dat

Say everyting from Shabba mouth is slack

I love roots and reality straight to the max

Because I'm a article oil-abash

To teach all deh youngster

And all yeh mudda and fader
