Back and Belly Rock

Idiots!
Step back!
The Rankers on the track, man
I don't care what dem say, I know I am the best
I am the best
Girls confess

Some of dem a back and belly rant
Some of dem a back and belly rant
Pon Yam a street dem saw me two side fi chop
Back and belly rant
Some of dem a back and belly rant
Pon Yam a street dem saw me two side fi chop

Long time me sit down and a watch

And listen dem a chat
Shabba Ranks say
Long time me sit down and a watch
Oh yes
And listen dem a chat

Now, Nappi step up and have the right fi get up
Star and Enquiry waan come pick me up
When dem write up, inna the story just pure bad stuff
A talk 'bout how the Ranks love slackness nuff
But it's the slackness make me push up
If me never talk it, me woulda never buss
And people dem a talk say that me is old, house watch this

Long time me sit down and a watch
And listen dem a chat
'Bout some of dem a back and belly rant
Some of dem a back and belly rant
Pon Yam a street dem saw me two side fi chop
Back and belly rant
Some of dem a back and belly rant
Pon Yam a street dem saw me two side fi chop

Me no response fi wha' Barry G waan chat
Me no response fi wha' super Don waan chat
Yellowman get bigger true him did talk slack
Now dem kill General Echo under gunshot
If a guy no waan me talk, come put on a padlock
And then him woulda see who a real idiot

Some of dem a back and belly rant
Some of dem a back and belly rant
Pon Yam a street dem saw me two side fi chop
Back and belly rant
Some of dem a back and belly rant
Pon Yam a street dem saw me two side fi chop

Dem no talk 'bout the bad road weh Ninja Man trod
Dem no talk 'bout how Flower gone accustom to dem hot
Dem a talk 'bout this and dem a chat 'bout that
How the Ranking love go underneath the gyal fat
Me nah matter this and me nah matter that
I have mi reason for talking slack
If it was not for slackness would not cook mi pot
And me would not fly off of Jamaican map

Get respected right to the top

That's why me haffi love the slackness to a max
You see, waan the punanny nah edify the youngster
Big like pum pum nah edify the youngster
Sit down pon it nah edify the youngster
Teach the youth dem just like a teacher

Back and belly rant
Some of dem a back and belly rant
Pon Yam a street dem saw me two side fi chop
Back and belly rant
Some of dem a back and belly rant
Pon Yam a street dem saw me two side fi chop

All dem a talk me is a, an autocrat
Me nah go lay down flat, me just nah dress back
If dem don't waan me talk, come put on a padlock
Try stitch up mi mouth or try zip up that
Then dem woulda know sumn of a natural fact
If the soldier man 'bout the hood no buss gunshot
Every gyal woulda no walk and a lift up dem foot
Fi say, riot by civilian, and cock
'Cause everybody waan the Ranking fi start chat

If dem call me pon the stage fi a natural fact
Gyal a real anarchy, and me love how dem act

Some of dem a back and belly rant
Some of dem a back and belly rant
Pon Yam a street dem saw me two side fi chop
Back and belly rant
Some of dem a back and belly rant
Pon Yam a street dem saw me two side fi chop

The Rank start and that's a natural fact
Especially when me put on mi thinking cap
Everybody know say Shabba Ranks anuh idiot
Black a mind, me know say that's a natural fact
But one thing me just can't, take 'way it black
One black man rise and him reach for the top
Him stand up and 15 black man head top
Back and belly rant...
