Daddy Roy On Top

There is no stronger brass played in the heart that isn't tainted
As we try seize the arm that taught us quarrels just
To wait in the race around the equator
Even make you do lots of stealing fi
Cash it when the justice is corrupted
And from this deed I've been indicted
So right now you've been invited

Baby love, mi see you wondering, wondering
See, what you gonna do?
Ah but you wondering, wondering
I could squabble, argue you
I see you wondering, wondering
Them style and fashion, them new
Said, you wondering, wondering
When you wash your clothes, why do you have fi use some blue?

Go down a town fi go check Mr. Brown
Ball out loud, say, "Who lost I found"
Awesome blessing sound in a big long gown
So daddy waan mi say mi deh pon di town
Come early morning and mi put on mi tracks
Inna mi house mi relax
Out of mi income mi pay off the tax
Jah give mi riddim and mi tell you the facts

Ah but you wondering, wondering
A what you gonna do?
Ah but you wondering, wondering
I'm a bad like a Samson Blue
But you wondering, wondering
African true, this the one Jah screw
Ah but you wondering, wondering
Style and fashion, them really new

I said, a one for the money, say, the two for the show
Wine up yourself like you a go-go
Buy up the bar, make the Heineken flow
Teetotown, said, them all in a row
When you hear the music, say fi gwan pon your toe
Now and then you have fi reap what you sow
A dem yah style yah we like it, you know
So daddy Roy say mi deh pon di go
Try to reach the top
I say, but be careful, you get the sun drop
And when mi flash dem yah style, I say, mi flash dem non-stop
When you know say this yah man hand di cap
Teetotown, said, them all in a row
Say, the monkey deh pon the show
So daddy war with the bow and arrow
Say, live for today and not for tomorrow
Make up your face like you're full of sorrow
Lord have mercy!
Got to go rise yourself
Before you get kicked off of shelf, I tell you
Hey, nice

See you wondering, wondering
See, what you gonna do?
I see you wondering, wondering
Many are called but the chosen are few
I see you wondering, wondering
See, the London town turn red, white, and blue
I see you wondering, wondering
Inna Sha Square we scream, "The Star is shining over you"
