Selassie I... Thunder rod (yeah), lightning,
Flashing... (mi know) stars and the moon shining... Mi know,
Mi know, mi know, mi knowwww... mi know dem fear me,
Mi know... mi know, mi know, mi know, mi know...
Me hear dem sit dung and dem time fi hear dead, time fi hear mi dead
Fell off and nyam di fish and bread
But, I'm sipping Hennessey and smoking all mi get, smoking all mi get
And have dem gyal inna mi bed
Again...
Me know dem sit dung and dem time fi hear mi dead, time fi hear mi dead
Fell off and nyam di fish and bread
But, I'm sipping Hennessey and smoking all mi get, smoking all mi get
(Selassie I...) And have dem gyal inna mi bed...
I'm so far, my main spars dem no near mi
Singing my song to let my enemies hear mi
Still dem man huff up and ah pits like a cherry
When da business so big, the whole ah we can share it
Some ah make ah bag ah talk, and dem sound contrary
One bag of nighs, the fans can hear clearly
After sing, mi ah sing my life story
Whole of dem mark and ah ploy fi take my glory
But dey could never, never stop their mate
We stamp love in dem bandmind endeavor
Dem aim fi dem bad-ah, dem change like the weather
Dem mind corrupt, and dem life like feather! I-I-I-I-I-I...
Me hear dem sit dung and dem time fi hear dead, time fi hear mi dead
Fell off and nyam di fish and bread
But, I'm sipping Hennessey and smoking all mi get, smoking all mi get
And have dem gyal inna mi bed
Again...
Me hear dem sit dung and dem time fi hear dead, time fi hear mi dead
Fell off and nyam di fish and bread
But, I'm sipping Hennessey and smoking all mi get, smoking all mi get
And have dem gyal inna mi bed
I don't knowww... what dem sit dung and dem ah make talk bout
And ah laughs about my life, show me thru glass wall?
But see all di glory fi yuh ways is ah disaster
And dat make corruption gone past what?
Make dem knowww... mi album out now... everybody know mi
Corruptist come salt ah road and try dem test me, sue me
And I stay di same way, mi doubt did deh dem ah go do mi
And ah plan up with mi enemies to put some coppa thru me
Forgive dem Jah, cause dem nuh know what dem done
I, man David slew Goliath, so I'm one of your son
One of your hurts could never past, so I cyaan go dung
Noo! Nuh go dowwnnnnnn!...
I'm so far, mi main spar dem nuh no near mi
Singing my song to let my enemies hear mi
Still dem ah come, and dem man huff like ah cherry
Business so big the whole ah we can share it
Some ah make ah bag ah talk, sound contrary
One bag of nighs, fans can hear clearly
After sing, mi ah sing my life story
Plan dem!... and try take mi glory
My heart freeeeee... I'm sooo free, so free
Like the birds in the tree
Yeah dem yute we can be what we wanna be, wanna be, beee
No badmind me, cause of my voice
No badmind to di girl dem say mi nice
No badmind me, no badmind me
Can't thump mi on mi face, cause yuh haffi think twice
Don't badmind me cause of my voice
Don't badmind me... Rasta...
