Red, gold and green
Every time we living up we do it large
Tell dem say mi raise mi hand up to the lord
Mandem say we affi walk so hard
Tell them say mi rasta man we living large
Where yuh from? Say me from the land
Where them boy can’t go, cos we give them corn
Anywhere them blow, say the boy ah packing pon the ting
We sell yuh pure white (beep)
Listen
One after one we keep dem boydem running
One after one we keep dem boydem ducking
One after one me affi exercise my rights
Fi bust gun shot up in yuh face like every night
One after one we keep dem boydem running
One after one we keep dem boydem ducking
Mi say me affi exercise my fucking rights
Fi bust gun shot up in yuh face like every night
Back in the days
When the mandem just ah bun up on the haze
Tell dem say mi marijuana I gon blaze
Mandem in a spaceship taken far away
Tell dem say we listen up, we twist them straight
Hmm, dem ah talk is no debate
Who the fattest inna de fucking station when we play
Hmm, every night and every day we gwan go slay
Mandem slinging shots outta the k
Listen
One after one we keep dem boydem running
One after one we keep dem boydem ducking
One after one me affi exercise my rights
Fi bust gun shot up in ya face like every night
One after one we keep dem boydem running
One after one we keep dem boydem ducking
Mi say me afi exercise my fucking rights
Fi bust gun shot up in ya face like every night
Ya nah saying dog
It’s a different kind of movement
This here is real staple ting, ya know what I’m saying
From back in the day we just wah set the movement
Pay homage to the fellas and dem that do it before we
Ya know? And still keep the same kinda flavour, nah
Me ah real Trinidadian anywhere I go
Tell dem
Fya
