Can't Tek Your Man |
| Some gyal no understand themselves |
| A live like some bottle pon shelf |
| Gyal, go look a man fi yourself! |
| Anyway! |
| Girl! |
| Tell dem! |
| Dem just can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh |
| From you small, a go school, you and the man deh |
| Can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh |
| A gyal a chat, cork your ears, no hear wha' dem a say |
| Gyal, you better hold on pon your man, no make a gyal take him 'way |
| You deh with him too long |
| Mi say! |
| Gyal, you better hold on pon your man, no make a gyal take him 'way |
| You better hold on strong |
| Because… |
| A gyal no know your man when him inna one stripe |
| When white squall a lick, and just hungry a bite |
| Can’t pay fi water rate, much less pay fi light |
| When the worm dem inna unuh belly just a toss and fight |
| Unuh make a board house pon a government site |
| Woman, there is hope, so long so got life |
| Pray to Father God and make him show you the light |
| Well now your man buss 'way, a fly as him like |
| Have big house pon hill and him deposit right |
| Have big Benz, big truck, and big bike |
| Well, now gyal a flock him like rep PC rice |
| The whole of dem flop 'cause a you a the wife |
| With the ring pon your finger, you hold on — |
| Dem can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh |
| From you likkle and a go school, you and the man deh |
| Dem can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh |
| A gyal a chat, cork your ears, no hear wha' dem a say |
| Gyal, you better hold on pon your man, no make a gyal take him 'way |
| You deh with him too long |
| Mi say! |
| Gyal, you better hold on pon your man, no make a gyal take him 'way |
| You have your man too long |
| Yeah |
| You have your man from when, from 19-'how long' |
| A face sufferation and tribulation |
| When money run short, you couldn’t buy pound of yam |
| A build form inna the earth, from inna the foundation |
| To make two ends meet, just to make one |
| A gyal nuh have no lots and part inna him plan |
| And all she come a deal with a transaction |
| She might lose the foot, or she might lose the hand |
| Might as well the life if she don’t lef' the man |
| Dem can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh |
| From you small, a go school, you and the man deh |
| Dem can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh |
| A gyal a chat, cork your ears, no hear wha' dem a say |
| Gyal, you better hold on pon your man, no make a gyal take him 'way |
| You deh with him too long |
| Mi say! |
| Gyal, you better hold on pon your man, no make a gyal take him 'way |
| You deh with him how long |
| It’s like… |
| Some gyal nowadays no understand themselves |
| Some gyal, dem a live like some bottle pon shelf |
| But you well ambitious, and you well decent |
| Hand inna the air 'cause you’re intelligent |
| A you spend the money, but a gyal a get cent |
| A your own house you have, so you no haffi pay rent |
| A gyal a live a bush and a gyal a pitch tent |
| A gyal down trot, no want no upliftment |
| All a gyal love is careless argument |
| Sit down pon sidewalk a hold conference |
| 'Bout who get the money, from who no get a cent |
| 'Bout who fa face straight, from who fa face dent |
| And who a virgin, and who a get the length |
| But, hand inna the air 'cause you’re well excellent |
| Gyal, shout it out, and you’re well confident |
| Dem can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh |
| From you small, a go school, you and the man deh |
| Dem can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh |
| A gyal a chat, cork your ears, no hear wha' dem a say |
| Gyal, you better hold on pon your man, no make a gyal take him 'way |
| You deh with him too long |
| Mi say! |
| Gyal, you better hold on pon your man, no make a gyal take him 'way |
| You better hold on strong |
| Because… |
| A gyal no know your man when him inna one stripe |
| When white squall a lick, and pure hungry a bite |
| Can’t pay fi water rate, much less pay fi light |
| When the worm dem inna unuh belly just a toss and fight |
| Unuh make a board house pon a government site |
| Woman, there is hope, so long so got life |
| Pray to Father God and now him show you the light |
| Your man buss 'way and a fly as him like |
| Have big house pon hill and him deposit right |
| With big Benz, big truck, and big bike |
| Well, now gyal a flock him like rep PC rice |
| The whole of dem flop 'cause a you a the wife |
| With the ring pon your finger, you hold on — |
| Dem can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh |
| From you small, a go school, you and the man deh |
| Dem can’t… |
