Intro:

War wah wah wah war, wah wah wah war, everyman a tun gun dor

War wah wah wah war, wah wah wah war, but mi an mi gal dem a par

War wah wah wah war, war wah wah wah war, everybody tun (Hold)

Verse 1:

If a D.J. a di year dem haffi wuk fi dat

Yuh nuh see a mi an mi gal dem fight in all di combat

When mi a work fi mi gal dem haffi get flat

Pop off mi pistol like a gun mi a fire shot

When mi a bowl yuh nuh see a pure gal a bat

Gal dem a rush mi seh mi bad like a gala wasp

After nuh man dis yah D.J. nah nuh bus nuh shot

Takes two to quarrel after dat a hottaclasp (Cause)
