Idle Talking

Now too much idle talking, man
Can't let dem take 'nade out of the system
Now Selassie I know, I'm a see the coke pipe dem burning
Lord have mercy, dem crown me king
Right here now, Jah man, me come to teach dem discipline
Hey, Cutty Ranking a shock and a sting

Say, some deejay fe cool, deejay fe cool
Low the foundation, we come yah so fe rule
Some deejay fe cool, deejay fe cool
Low the foundation, we come yah so fe rule

Too much idle talk and careless chat
All of dem, the deejay have fe stay back
Me say, pon fe your mouth, you go put a padlock
When me catch you inna dance, said, a you we a go flop

Some deejay fe cool, deejay fe cool

Dem talk people business behind dem back
When me stand up one side and hear dem a chat
All dem business a spoil and dem nah watch that
All the chatty-chatty people, me a go turn dem back
All the evil-doer, dem have fe get flat
And listen Cutty Ranking pon the microphone a chat

Too much chatting
So, those tings spoil the system
Those people need some discipline

True, my growing up, me used to go a good school
When me go a good school, me used to stick by the rule
No dibby-dibby-deejay can't take me fe no fool
Come ride pon me back like donkey or some mule
Some a chat slackness just to get a forward
Who no chat slackness, dem a cuss bad word
Dem, the type of lyrics, say, dem awkward
And give thanks and praise to the Father up above

Some deejay fe cool, deejay fe cool
Low the foundation, we come yah so fe rule
Some deejay fe cool, deejay fe cool
Low the foundation, we come yah so fe rule

And inna firm me brain, a lot of education
