fire-starter, blaze it

Gentleman : well this is Gentleman and Anthony B

this is not a story this is reality

you nuh have no time fi this no time fi that

nuh time fi listen just a chat

face off - always wearing a mask

no time fi love no time fi joy

squeze your trigger like a toy

ease off - before you come to past

dutty wotks dutty pays

just like a candle you will melt away

if you could hear what you say

me think you never would act this way

you tell me you a gunman

any guy disrespect you dun one

hey Mr. badman the fire nuh stop bun pon

hey stop the killin' killin' killin'

hey bloodsucker try fi escape me take the firebun

Gentleman : tell you stop the ism and you tell me seh you caan

Gentleman : right ya know you burning and you soon a burn out

Gentleman : dutty works dutty pays

so make we warn dem make we teach dem

make we show dem how believe

nuh go down 'cause we always positive

yo - hail rastafari burn the dirty brige
