(Intro:)
It's another (a murder)
Yow... the one yah name praise
To di father fi all a we days
Gi we life mek we shine bright like di sun raise
Lighter fi bun up all chi chi and gays
Kentiya say di fire muss blaze
Red square tell dem rise up all di AKs
Yeah man, tell dem change them dirty ways
All a who a misbehave, watch yah nuh
(Chorus:)
Well a nuff a dem nah live right so we a bun them now
Waste dem life betta we dunn them now
All who wha fight we have we gun them now
We a bad from a that a stun them now
A who a see di gal them and a run them now
Gal, yo mad- we nah shun them now
Crazy way we set and turn them now
Them bring we daughter and we son them now
(Verse 1:)
Gal them we love and a we vow that
Father God we put above and a nuh gow that
Nuff man love another man, me nuh see how that
If you a bull and a nuh cow that, betta yo lowe that
We love di gal them and we show that
The gal dem garden we haffi plough that
Nuff see de nable and a guh below that
And a blow that, bredrin betta yo lowe that
Under age yo fi lowe that
Gi Shano and likkle Bow Wow that
Cause a close to death row that
Fifty years yo think a now that, betta yo lowe that
(Chorus:)
That's why haffi bun them now
Waste dem life betta we dunn them now
All who wha fight we have we gun them now
We a bad from a that a stun them now
Rasta man beat di kettle drum them now
Gangsta beat di (? ) dem now
Who a run off di beak and tongue them now
Six feet unda ground them now
(Verse 2:)
Cause man a gangster yo fi know that
You a pass inna di club and me say bredrin

Me have me glock unda me throw back betta yo lowe that

And no farmer down a centi nuh grow that
Yo see pan di shotta endz we nuh allow that
A sumn white like snow that? Betta yo lowe that
Money fi mek yah and I know that
But yo nuh fi reap nothing and nuh sow that
How yo fi wha corn and yo neva grow that
Anuh di sweet from yo brow that- betta yo lowe that
(Chorus:)
That's why we haffi bun them now
Waste dem life betta we dunn them now
All who wha fight we have we gun them now
We a bad from a that a stun them now
A who a see di gal them and a run them now
Gal, yo mad- we nah shun them now
Crazy way we set and turn them now
Them bring we daughter and we son them now
