An now mi a go buss it inna diffarent style
Well mi used to go a school a Catholic

An every Thursday night mi go a choir practise

Big up, big up to all di crew inna mi area
Long, long time dem a call me dem singa
Caw mi a drap it inna rub-a-dub stylie
Bet yuh neva kno a so mi wikid an willie
Gimme any riddim an yuh know mi a go ride ee
