Boom bye bye
Inna batty bwoy head
听听听 Boom [the sound of a gunshot] bye-bye
听听听 In a f-----'s head
Rude bwoy no promote no nasty man
Dem haffi dead
听听听 The tough young guys don't accept f---
听听听 They have to die
Send fi di matic an
Di Uzi instead
听听听 Send for the automatic [gun] and
听听听 The Uzi instead
Shoot dem no come if we shot dem
听听听 Shoot them, don't come [to help] if we shoot them
Guy come near we
Then his skin must peel
听听听 If a man comes near me
听听听 Then his skin must peel [as with acid poured over him]
Burn him up bad like an old tyre wheel
听听听 Burn him badly, like an old tire
