They told me this is a free country

But now it feels like a chicken factory

I feel couped up I wanna bust free

Got nothing to lose if you get me

Like a Taliban trucker eatin' boiled-up yucca

I keep my eyes down like I'm in a black burka

Been through shit, yeah, it's a fucker

But now I make tunes

Say shaka laka laka

Shaka laka la, shaka laka li

Shaka lakalakalaka lucky lucky me

If you check me, I check you

If they kick you then I back you

Say something new, say something cool

I give you my time but I ain't no fool

I could I could I

Break a break a jaw

Every every time someone steps on my toe

I fight the ones that fight me

I really love a lot (I really love Allah)

But I fight the ones that fight me

Who's in town?

Dem no like me, me no like dem

Like Hu Jintao

Instead of them I got a new found JEM

Someone I can love up like men

Like Obama (Like a bomber) needs to love up Chen

Like a hand-me-down sucker throwin? bombs out to Mecca

Call it Good world, get money to get better

Keep your head down like a UNICEF worker

If you get hit you can't question the fucker

How come how come I

Yeah but yeah but why?

If I B the F, who the F- B the I?

If you met me then you'll get me

But if you get me, will you get a fee?

Shit's meant to be free

Where's Bob Marley?

And I won't turn my cheek

Like I'm Ghandhi

I fight the ones that fight me
