Man it gone right pon top and me seh ready back
Tell dem dat slackness get flop and it dead
Man and it gone a dove cot and dem a chat

Tell de whole a dem keep quiet and dem a chat
A true dem waan fight against de ras and dem a chat

A true we moving forward and we na turn back
We a Selassie pickney and we dem cyan stop
And a all dem a talk dem a stumbling block
And no boy or gal can't put on we pot

And me come in the place and me deh yah and a chat
A dog go chase a cat a chase a blasted rat
And dem capture de cat dem have fe let him out back
De only live man from out a Kendall crash

A ten time me escape from out a cell block
Me have a lyrics box up in a fe me head top
And one ganja pipe can pull de padlock
And make de general and him a talk non-stop

Tell dem dat culture come back if it bend up
Man it gone right pon top and me seh ready back
Tell dem dat slackness get flop and it dead
Man and it gone a dove cot and dem a chat

Tell dem whole a dem keep quiet and dem a chat
A true dem waan fight against de ras and dem a chat
A true dem waan fight against de map and dem a chat

And me seh Jean and Sharon, me seh Jennifer and Pat
And dem come in a de dance and a bubble and tock

Bald head and white and Che Bobo Dreadlock
A say dat Mr. Cat a him a sting like a wasp
People in de dance and a come and dem a rock
And police lock it off and we turn it on back
'Cause the Reggae music could a never ever block

Tell dem dat culture came back if it bend up
Man it gone right pon top and me seh ready back
Tell dem dat slackness get flop and it dead
Man and it gone a dove cot and dem a chat
