Lyrics

Now, whether you live uptown
Or you live inna the ghetto
You know say Lady G respect the people dem every time
Seen? So don't spread no rumor
Nuh carry mi name, nuh spread no rumor, show mi nuff respect
Nuh true mi live inna the ghetto, show mi nuff respect
Nuh carry mi name, nuh spread no rumor, show mi nuff respect
Nuh true mi live inna the ghetto, show mi nuff respect
Because this is a fact mi haffi confess
To all of di woman, man fi due respect
Nuh true we dress up in the latest and a we love fanciness
When we come out pon di street, di man dem say we look fresh
And every jackman a dem we impress
Sometimes dem get bright and start distress
But if you deh across di sea, dem a bruk off they neck
'Cause when dem see we fi a we dem start get upset
That's why nuff man no put dem head inna one basket
But some of dem put dem hand to where dem cyan reach it
As a fox see a grape, him waan fi pick it
Whether you live inna di town or in di district
Nuh carry mi name, nuh spread no rumor, show mi nuff respect
Nuh true mi live inna the ghetto, show mi nuff respect
Nuh carry mi name, nuh spread no rumor, show mi nuff respect
Nuh true mi live inna the ghetto, show mi nuff respect
Some man watch your figure, some man watch your shape
Some man watch your niceness and your beautiful face
Call you a guggs if you're ugly, that a big disgrace
But if you're pretty, fatty, man a run one race
No man no waan fi deh a back, dem waan fi deh pon front page
Every man want a tackle what a eat in the place
But most of dem are hungry, waan fi get one taste
So, no be no laggerhead, tell you fi hold fi your space
Nuh carry mi name, nuh spread no rumor, show mi nuff respect
Nuh true mi live inna the ghetto, show mi nuff respect
Nuh carry mi name, nuh spread no rumor, show mi nuff respect
Nuh true mi live inna the ghetto, show mi nuff respect
I want all of di woman dem you fi penetrate
If your man a do wrong, that enough you tolerate
Just live independent, get yourself up to date
Change your lifestyle and make your future bright
Stop the running up and down, and stop the acting wild
Just like a lamb to a slaughter, you fi meek and mild
Just care fi your elder and protect your child
Nuh give no man itches say him waan take a mile
Just listen mi lyrics and take mi advice
Nuh carry mi name, nuh spread no rumor, show mi nuff respect
Nuh true mi live inna the ghetto, show mi nuff respect
Nuh carry mi name, nuh spread no rumor, show mi nuff respect
Nuh true mi live inna the ghetto, show mi nuff respect
'Cause some man watch your figure, some man watch your shape
Some man watch your niceness and your beautiful face
Call you a guggs if you're ugly, that a big disgrace
But if you're pretty, fatty, man a run one race
No man no waan fi deh a back, dem waan fi deh pon front page
Every man want a tackle what a eat in the place
But most of dem are hungry, waan fi get one taste
So, no be no laggerhead, tell you fi hold fi your space
Nuh carry mi name, nuh spread no rumor, show mi nuff respect
Nuh true mi live inna the ghetto, show mi nuff respect
Nuh carry mi name, nuh spread no rumor, show mi nuff respect
Nuh true mi live inna the ghetto, show mi nuff respect
I want all of di woman dem you fi penetrate
If your man a do wrong, that enough you tolerate
Just live independent, get yourself up to date
Change your lifestyle and make your future bright
Stop the running up and down, and stop the acting wild
Just like a lamb to a slaughter, you fi meek and mild
Just care fi your elder, protect your child
Nuh give no man itches say him waan take a mile
Just listen mi lyrics and take mi advice
Nuh carry mi name, nuh spread no rumor, show mi nuff respect
Nuh true mi live inna the ghetto, show mi nuff respect
Nuh carry mi name, nuh spread no rumor, show mi nuff respect
Nuh true mi live inna the ghetto, show mi nuff respect
