Treat you like a clown
Safe and sound with a solid background
And a the same dutty boy from out of the compound
And that sidewalk where I used to sit down
Man use cocaine and turn the place inna devil playground

So I take microphone and build music spellbound

So don't follow rumors
Rumor ship sinking
Don't follow rumors
You go entire rheumatism

Mommy and daddy be sleeping at home
Inna dancehall Shabba Ranks nuh stand room
Mr. Juicy Wheel a chat pon the microphone
King's Terror go after the U-Roy sound
Natty Jeffrey position and crown
Shabba is here to establish a sound
Some people nuh build you up, but dem waan fi bruk you down
And when dem bruk you down, the rumor turning around
Turning around

Buss dem out
Tear us apart
You know why?
Because

Mi get fi understand say, a so people stay
So you can't play the card critics play
Tomorrow morning if a Shabba nah play
Shabba understand that there is a cool out day
While the sun a shine, I make a double A
So if they erase one, one is here to stay
The bag of rheumatism, hearsay, and say-say
Carlton Livingston, we know that have to go 'way

Don't follow rumors
No rumor, no rheumatism
Don't follow rumors
It will
Dem gone double

Watch rumor buss the people dem inna two, man
If you hear something about me

Come say it to me
And your friend go tell her friend
And her friend go tell her friend
Don't follow what
And dem a me and Carlton Livingston inna conference

To tear us apart
