Verse 1:
Aah sid-dung and plan and mi dig mi foundation

But lyrical yu go dis Beenie Man
And mek mi fans det mad
But don't matter which form a D.J.
If yu rascine yu dead anyways
And don't think for a minute, you are on my mind

As long as yu know sey a mi run di route

Chorus:
I've never been down, well done
I've never been out, swell down
And I've never hit rock bottom
