Mr. Shabba, money making Jamaican
Collecting checks an catching racks, with Reggae he awakens
The word has got around about the chatters you be takin'
From homies who be fakin', and practicing the moves of a snake an huh
On the streets in the days and night, the black and white fight
'Til they come to Hip-Hop shows and give up hoes
One God, one tribe, feel the vibe that I'm bringing
Throw your hands in the air and keep 'em swinging
I'm sick and tired of lettin' gats win
And people puttin' bruises on my beautiful black skin
So I teach 'em a lesson, through a Hip-Hop session
Let 'em know that I'ma keep on steppin'
You don't know me to judge me
And even if you knew me, your thoughts wouldn't budge me
Knowledge and the music is my way to get through with it all
So it works for you, so what 'cha gonna do?
Screw face people a monkey sample
Smile pretty people, mek mi see yuh dimple
Screw face people a monkey sample
Nuh penetrate people who a penny evil
What 'cha gonna do, what 'cha gonna do, what 'cha gonna do?

Smile a while an give your face a res
Raise your han to di one yuh love bes
