[Intro:]
Free up! (Busy) From captivity - Sound it
All who cut off the f**king bracelet - watch it
All who dead from the leash - refugee
Busy!
[Chorus:]
Seh wi nah go a jail again - oh no!
And wi never going fail again - oh no!
Like a ship wi ago sail again - oh oh!
You would a never see mi call mi friend fi bail again
Nah see mi a court house no more - oh no!
Nuh praise get up inna house no more - oh no!
Mi step out and hold mi own fi sure - oh oh!
Real hustlers a road a mek money galore.
[Verse 1:]
So mi seh if you never been to jail before,
You affi keep a eye open even if you snore,
Wha mount a card board some man a beat it pon di floor,
Tired fi mark X and hear the state doors a roar - plus di warder dem,
If you ever been behind the bars,
All though some innocent dem of to live with the scars,
You can't snitch cause any day you come a road a war,
You can weak because man wi dip in a you cookie jar
[Chorus:]
Seh wi nah go a jail again - oh no!
And wi never going fail again - oh no!
Like a ship wi ago sail again - oh oh!
You would a never see mi call mi friend fi bail again
Nah see mi a court house no more - oh no!
Nuh praise get up inna house no more - oh no!
Mi step out and hold mi own fi sure - oh oh!
Real hustlers a road a mek money galore
[Verse 2:]
Mi seh thugs deh pon dah side yah and the spliff di pon di otha,
Caan diss nuh man weh a do life in a dem yard,
Get beatin from the warden if you go round di order,
You caan drop no soap pon di border like she-ba-da
You caan - have a next man a plait you hair,
You caan - have a next man a spot you rear,
Caan - have so much money and food pon you promissory
And a gwaan like you no waan share.
[Chorus:]
Seh wi nah go a jail again - oh no!
And wi never going fail again - oh no!
Like a ship wi ago sail again - oh oh!
You would a never see mi call mi friend fi bail again
Nah see mi a court house no more - oh no!
Nuh praise get up inna house no more - oh no!
Mi step out and hold mi own fi sure - oh oh!
Real hustlers a road a mek money galore.
