I used to get a bounce pon mi cheque

But now mi get a cheque everytime mi track a bounce pon yuh deck

Plus mi get a nod an a bounce from yuh neck

An a "Oh" She pronounce wen she bounce pon mi

A thousand fi di ounce, a di brown, pon a stick or a stalk or a stem

But di pound do di trick fah mi, fah mi

Full a suh much ganja talk

Just come in from mi ganja walk

Oh yes it is pon mi

An dat mus be why mi use it

Wid no sleep, we hunting fi mek money

Like Bunting fi achieve dis one ting
