And none a dem nuh bad dan Baby Wayne

Wid him aroun now mi mad mi in-humane

Dat you cannot treat dem and Shabba Ranks di same

Cause when it comes to music, its not fun and game

How unno fi gwaan like unno whaa ignore mi

And a boost up who don't come before mi

Tek it from the foundation

Build it a couple of story, Czechoslovakia adore mi

God get the higher praise and all a di glory

Respect di foundation who come before mi
