What a liberty

No respect for His Imperial Majesty

You nuh fi trouble black man king, white boy
Nuh trouble black man king
Nuh fi trouble black man king, white boy
Nuh trouble black man king, yeah
Death is on your shoulder
If you trouble black man king, hey
Death is on your shoulder
If you trouble black man king
Say you nuh fi trouble black man king, white boy
Nuh trouble black man king
Nuh fi touch black man king, white boy
Nuh trouble black man king
Death is on your shoulder
If you trouble black man king, hey
Death is on your shoulder
If you trouble the black man king
You brought I down here, then you slave I
No respect for the sons of Rastafari
You slave I already, and all in your intention, hey
But if you think?, come, come try it again
What?
You nuh fi trouble black man king, white boy
Nuh trouble black man king
Nuh fi trouble the black man king, white boy
Nuh trouble the black man king
Death is on your shoulder
If you trouble the black man king, aah
Death is on your shoulder
If you trouble the black man king
Just a deal with the people like? Police
Behave like those, they don't enjoy
And if you give them a fly in your air Jeep
You just a tell dem they can't enjoy themselves
Thou shall not smoke
You nuh fi touch black man king, white boy
Nuh trouble black man king
You nuh fi trouble black man king, white boy
Nuh trouble black man king
For, death is on your shoulder
If you trouble black man king, yeah
Death is on your shoulder
If you trouble black man king
Just the other day, I forward 'round a Trinidad
A sister island to my island, and
Early in the morning I saw my grandmother, whoa
Was forwarding to cane piece to cut sugar again
Nuh bother touch black man king, white boy
Nuh trouble black man king
You nuh fi trouble black man king, white boy
Nuh trouble the black man king
For, death is on your shoulder
If you trouble black man king, again
Death is on your shoulder
If you trouble black man king
Birds have their nest
Foxes have their holes
And the hole some people in, got nowhere to live
Listen me
One hundred acres for? And not a free square to live
And that is wrong, you have to have a heart to give
Hear me man
You nuh fi trouble black man king, white boy
Nuh trouble black man king
Nuh fi trouble black man king, white boy
Nuh trouble black man king
For, death is on your shoulder
If you trouble black man king, yeah
Death is on your shoulder
If you trouble black man king, sinner man
Death is on your shoulder
If you trouble black man king, yeah
Death is on your shoulder
If you trouble black man king
