Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, international drama
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, (Jamaica)
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, international drama
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh
Totò gone a New York, with a boat from Sicily
Totò cry when him see the Statue of Liberty
New York is like apple, and pretty like money
But Totò money inna pocket neva plenty-plenty
Immigration officer pressure talk ti-ti-ting
"No speak Americano, no ti-ti-ti-ting,
A me name Totò Mayo, Corleone city"
So dem stamp on di paper, let Totò free
Him jump up like a cricket inna yellow taxi
Yellow taxi carry Totò inna likkle Italy
And no lie me a tell, dis a history
Di don of all dons, king of New York City
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, international drama
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, (Jamaica)
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, international drama
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh
Totò get a job, but money neva good
Him a hustle with di mafia inna Italian neighborhood
And a trap pon di baba and di rich woman jude
And a mash up Police, if dem show attitude
Pischotto get bigger, get di zone mafia clan
Start war with Colombians and di Mexicans
And a wipe off competition, right to cross Yankee land
From Brooklyn to Jersey, up to Washington
If you have a nice store, you fi pay in money
If you drive a nice car, you fi pay in money
If you start a new ting, you fi pay in money
Police and politician dem get nuff money
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, international drama
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, (Jamaica)
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, international drama
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh
(Giuseppe Tarantino Verse)
FBI rep on Totò like a fly pon row-goo
Totò mek dem an offer that dem neva refuse
Pizza mandolino neva mek Totò loose
Totò murder nuff people, and neva end up with no bruise
New York have a king, and him name Totò don
Totò rule New York City in dem all horizon
And fi go and tell - better do what he wish
You gonna end up on a water, sleeping with the fish.
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, international drama
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, (Jamaica)
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, international drama
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, international drama
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, (Jamaica)
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh, international drama
Ooooo yeah, mafia on yuh
