Word dem a word 'bout me, mi nuh worry 'bout nobody
Word dem a word 'bout Shabba, Shabba nuh worry 'bout dem
Word dem a word 'bout me, mi nuh worry 'bout nobody
When you're up, you're up
See dem a gather up
When you're down, you're down
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
Mi never waan mi and the heathen dem inna a show down
So I take microphone and build music spellbound

So don't follow rumors
Rumor ship sinking
Don't follow rumors
You go entire rheumatism
It will tear us apart
Buss dem skull!
Because

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

So don't follow rumors
No, no!
Don't follow rumors
Nah, that's what you informer

We a carry it go
Tear us apart
Why you chat so much, man?

Don't follow rumors
Yo
It will
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
Tear us apart
Watch rumor buss the people dem inna two, man
If you hear something about me
Tell it to us, tell it to us
Come say it to me
You can't tell your friend
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
Your friends are saying

They're only trying
We can't take that
To tear us apart
Give dem something fi worry 'bout, Shabba
Yo!

Word dem a word 'bout Shabba, Shabba nuh worry 'bout dem
Word dem a word 'bout me, mi nuh worry 'bout nobody
