Hail Linval, roots mi bredrin
But di man just a walk an' a trick up di people dem gyal so
Boy, a so me will say
Watch it, watch mi after effect

Say, Linval, Linval, no turn original
Linval, Linval, mi say no turn original
Remember when you little, used to bathe in a canal
Your skin cutty-cutty an' dem put on Dettol
But now you turn big an' you a general
A walk an' a trick up di people dem gyal
Linval, Linval, mi say no turn original

Some of dem a call mi di field marshal
Mi spar with inspector an' also colonel
An' anywhere we go we have we credential

Linval, Linval, no turn original
Linval, Linval, no turn original
Remember when you little, used to swim in a canal
Your skin cutty-cutty an' dem dash on Dettol
But now you turn big an' you a governor general
A walk an' a trick up di people dem gyal
Linval, Linval, say no turn original
Val, Linval, mi say no turn original

Cah, nothing in dis world impossible to we (I say di truth)
Remember say Selassie I God proved dem yah thing pon Calvary
Said, him would-a make way fi you an' me
No walk an' trick up di young girl you see
Whether Sandy or even Beverly (Lord have mercy)

Say, Linval, Linval, beg you no turn original
Val, Linval, beg you no turn original
Remember when you little, used to bathe in a canal
Your skin cutty-cutty, dem a bathe you in a Dettol
But now you turn big an' you a governor general
A walk an' a trick up di people dem gyal
A tell dem 'bout say you have no credential
A tell dem 'bout you is a youth weh partial
Linval, Linval, mi say no turn original
Val, Linval, mi say no turn original

'Cause a whole heap of lyrics in mi mind
An' mi no talk one lyrics two time
Di whole of di moon, di bright I shine
But in a Jamaica a di good sunshine
Say, man, mi take mi clock an' mi nah rewind
But I-Keep-a-Chap, dem come fi preach all di time
Mi said-a, some man live as vocalist
While some of dem live as journalist
While some dress up an' a walk stylish
Di principal come culture lyrics at di pitch

Linval, Linval, mi say no turn original
Val, Linval, mi say no turn original
Linval, Linval, mi say no turn original
Remember when you little, used to bathe in a canal
