Lyrics

Town, oh oh! Operator, my selector Now everybody bus a gunshot Put up your hand if ya love that Selecter the tune haffi playback Ca it sound like way back, ok! The ranking coming from a generation When artist's lyrics did full a education The leaders of the world of the united nation Never want fi hear di message pon di radio station Now as a yout me have a reggae reputation Origin West Indian but me born a England Father Jamaican momma a Dominican Whole heap a bad boy in a me conversation Now in a pirate school me get me reputation Fi bang pon table everyday and sing song Never want play football, no want play ping pong The invisible microphone we have in a me hand And me glad me fi grow up on some studio one Dig deep in a me father record collection Me daddy said a youth deh a go be someone So me go a stonebridge go check the rough cut band After school in a studio with bare rastaman Dem a bun dem chalice and hold a meditation Dem days you want bust you haffi come a London Soundboy nah know the history nah the foundation From me in a me mother belly we nah love satan Me used to read from genesis to revelation But many night me end up in a police station Me know say music are me life its not my occupation Settle down my selector, come down Operator Mix me down proper, ok! Entertainer Now everybody bus a gunshot Put up your hand if ya love that Selecter the tune haffi playback Ca it sound like way back, ok! The ranking coming straight from the dancehall When TDK tapes run the market stall I grow up when every sound there's too much name fi call Me favorite artist poster pin pon me wall And me know every musician will live local Some of me gangster friend them have good vocal But me never love the music for money total Some come in a di business fi get more gal You know long me in a dis ca me grow loyal Me family was poor me never was spoil Give thanks to what me have we never in denial Never inherent nothing cos me never royal No me say gwan ranking because you're international Don't change for a minute, don't move unusual Gwan mix up the lyrics in a every plural Stay fresh like the water in a di mineral And know say the most high give you approval Just try to be kind and don't be cruel Don't sell yourself cheap like no pot noodle And when you touch the stage give them real serial Hold your head up high ca you're imperial And make sure that you bring something to the table Jah give me it and let me more than able Pass the microphone with the long cable Settle down my selector, come down Operator Mix me down proper, ok! Entertainer Now everybody bus a gunshot Put up your hand if ya love that Selecter the tune haffi playback Ca it sound like way back, ok!
