Iron Gloves

Now here comes ah ting called

Biggin' up mi right hand, mi bredren John John

Hook:
I never wan' hold di gun
Without di gloves up pon di general hand
Inspector find finger print pon di murder weapon
Bridge
Wi nuh give ah damn, wi shot man in front ah station
Bwoy watch out, look out fi di half ah mouth John
Junior Cat, i bigging up mi friend John John
Food haffi nyam, unnu sight di don man pon di mission
Unnu watch mi 24/7, from wi ah program
Anyting try fi test wi, dat deh one run second
And ah hell up inna Harlem, any time unnu see di don
Wi nuh want nuh number 3, nuh number 2, it’s number 1
And ah any ting weh try to test, tell dem seh dem wrong
Inna 1993 wi nuh need nuh name brand
Just watch di general deh under culture fashion
I nah go come ah dance ya fi come cuss nuh woman
Before unnu start cuss, member yuh madda she ah one
Ah di foundation ah civilization
And ah nine month, she tek yuh bring yuh pon dis land
And if she did wicked, coulda tek abortion
Well ya since wi nah nuh money, wi haffi tun ah robber man
Lick di brinks, and tek di payroll, and wi touch di bank one
And if mi touch di tank, yuh know somebody ah dead man
Hook
I never wan' hold di gun
Without di gloves up pon mi hand
Inspector find finger print pon di murder weapon
Bridge
Wi nuh give ah damn, wi shot man in front ah station
Bwoy watch out, look out ya fi mi friend John John
Any ting weh try fi test mi, unnu tell dem seh dem wrong
Because wi doing the right and wi nah go do nuh wrong
Wi nah go come ah dance, talk bout under woman
Any ting wi dj play pon di radio station
And member seh mi tell unnu wi ah di foundation
Wi nuh matter just come, and wi nuh fear nuh name brand
If ah gangsta system, yuh know di general ah one
Have mi pot and have mi foot, but wid yuh john inna yuh hand
Yuh can’t come lick mi down pon nuh highway session
Unnu better try just member 1971
And ah dem time deh run general election
Dem bigging up di youth, and then dem pushing up di don
Dem time dem give yuh house, dem time dem give yuh land
And ah just one minute after election
Every ting start to slick back from out ah yuh hand
And ah so mi get fi know mi nuh hold nuh position
Mi nuh deh pon nuh modeling
Mi only deh pon ah mission
Dem ah say dat dem ah don and
Dem nuh know ganngsta man
Dem nuh know Claudie Massop
Dem nuh know Johnathan
Then how dem fi come talk to Junior Cat di Indian
Nuh know Sandokan, nuh know Natty Morgan
And ah so dem get fi know say mi ah real don man
Unnu listen to general from di reggae version
And come put it down, come put it down
And come left it to di don
Dem talking up dem mouth but dem nuh know where mi stand
Unnu listen Junior Cat from him ah conscious man
