And every nook and cranny of the chronology
And every single little detail of the history

Some bwoy just a move like a harbour shark
But noh time to waste neither skylark
And wi nah trust noh shadows after dark
Soh mi draw one line with a little black chalk
Seven mash mouth daag sidung and a bark
Not a food nah inna plate, not a knife and not a fork
And de way how dem a flex, dem naah tek noh talk
But dem a hug up and a walk inna Central Park!

Mi seh fi hold yu medi and then yu settle steady
Nah badda wid the bloodshed and the lunacy
Just try hol' yu vibes and yu humility
And check Black River weh inns St E.
We have electricity before New York City
And a we have the first motor vehicle
No air conditioned fantasy
And nah hype wid noh twisted mentality!
