Reason

Irie Ites, Irie Mighty Dread
Me nah come say nothin' like Michael Jackson a sing '
Bout Billie Jean, Billie Jean, cookies and ice cream
Burn the Queen, Irie Selassie I
Thank you for listening, ok?

Me haffi cuss bumboclaat fi a reason, reason
Dutty Babylon a get a beatin'
Me haffi cuss bumboclaat fi a reason
Mi see say dem a keep dutty beatin'
Me cuss rasclaat fi a reason, reason
Dutty Babylon a get a beatin'
Me haffi cuss bumboclaat fi a reason
Yow, yow, yow

Cah, when di fire start burn to claat
Weh dem a gwan round to claat?
No know, me no know, but me never come fi talk
Rifle me go pump it off, body me go dump it off

Warriors no tek dump and laugh

You disrespect di shottas and you get dump off
The war get so hot dem haffi lock the front off
And soldier, and police dem haffi tek a month off
Me no response a who tell everybody phone call

Special Fila Europe me see say nuff a come soft
Box dem pon dem mouth, tell dem don't talk
When it touch six o'clock, stand guard, go walk
Drive by, just a, hey, don't park
Politician dem scared, don't have no time, so dark
So Matthew told Luke, so Luke told Mark
The fire that nah dem can't stop

So me go cuss bumboclaat fi a reason, reason
Dutty Babylon a get a beatin'
And me go cuss bumboclaat fi a reason
Mi see dem inna politics sneakin'
Me cuss rasclaat fi a reason, reason
Klu Klux Klan a get a beatin'
And me go cuss bumboclaat fi a reason
No matter what the season

Nothing never happen so, so, so
A long time man a dig dem coco
Work everyday like a engine motor
Finger fi flint and you a mi take photo
But if you mix up inna drugs dem a deport you
Gone back to Pinky, gone back to Toto
Life hard, me glad a how you know so
But still dem want you fi vote, cho!

Me haffi cuss bumboclaat fi a reason, reason
Dutty Babylon a get a beatin'
Me haffi cuss bumboclaat fi a reason
Mi see say dem a keep man meetin'
Me cuss rasclaat fi a reason, reason
Dutty Babylon a get a beatin'
Me haffi cuss bumboclaat fi a reason
No matter what the season
No matter what the season
No matter what the season

Babylon, you bum, you rasclaat
I'll always love Rastafari

Bumboclaat fi a reason, reason
Dutty Babylon a get a beatin'
Me haffi cuss bumboclaat fi a reason
Cah dem a keep dutty beatin'
Me cuss rasclaat fi a reason, reason
Klu Klux Klan a get a beatin'
Me haffi cuss bumboclaat fi a reason
No matter what the season

Stupid of you to think that I would disobey Jah
Stupid of you, ah, ah
Stupid of you
Babylon, Babylon
Stupid of you to think that I would disobey Jah
Rastafari is my creator
Stupid of you, Babylon
Stupid of you

Me cuss bumboclaat fi a reason
Irie Ites, me play music every season
Selassie I the first
