lyrics

Ayyy
Mek mi fight di fiyah with di fiyah
Run up on dem and inna second, I’m gone

Anyway
All mi need is a Getaway Driver fi shoot poverty pon di corna
Wha’ mi seh?
All mi need is a Rifle Sniper fi run weh stress di trespassa
Ayyy
All mi need is a Getaway Driver fi shoot poverty pon di corna
Wha’ mi seh?
All mi need is a Rifle Sniper fi run weh stress di trespassa
Ayyy

Mek mi fight di fiyah with di fiyah
Run up on dem and inna second, I’m gone
Watchie, mek mi cutty barbwire
Pelpa mi name and I’m a rebel from mi born
From ah love let mi see your hand waving
You fi deh pon wah mi deh pon, ah di real ting star
Cause is problems I see di people bearing
So mi lyric dem a bullet, mi nuh walk and talk

Murda poor life any means necessary
Long time mi waan fi send him to a dark cemetery
From ancients of years him kill many pon many
Fi kill him, mi nah charge a God dyamn penny

Harsh, reality so harsh
Guh fi Mr. Grudge, cause he never pass di torch
Guh fi politics, him give mi pain inna mi heart
Mi nah come fi peace, ah dat mi tell yuh from di start

Mek mi fight di fiyah with di fiyah
Run up on dem and inna second, I’m gone
Watchie, mek mi cutty barbwire
Pelpa mi name and I’m a rebel from mi born

From ah love let mi see your hand waving
You fi deh pon wah mi deh pon, ah di real ting star
Cause is problems I see di people bearing
So mi lyric dem a bullet, mi nuh walk and talk

All mi need is a Getaway Driver fi shoot poverty pon di corna
Wha’ mi seh?
All mi need is a Rifle Sniper fi run weh stress di trespassa
Ayyy
All mi need is a Getaway Driver fi shoot poverty pon di corna
Wha’ mi seh?
All mi need is a Rifle Sniper fi run weh stress di trespassa

Ayyy
Mek mi fight di fiyah with di fiyah
Run up on dem and inna second, I’m gone
Watchie, mek mi cutty barbwire
Pelpa mi name and I’m a rebel from mi born

From ah love let mi see your hand waving
You fi deh pon wah mi deh pon, ah di real ting star
Cause is problems I see di people bearing
So mi lyric dem a bullet, mi nuh walk and talk
