[Intro:]
Arms of Jah! Selassie I!
A di king mi see! So we nah bow out!
Man a go through di poverty
But mi see, mi dun see
A batty ting some a pree, yah hear mi

[Chorus:]

Seh dem live cross di water and dem caan go a sea
Yah hear mi, dat a nuh life of a G

[Verse 1:]
Oh Jah! Protect mi nation

Rifle a spray like spray can

Yuh see! Nuff a dem a bitch like Missy!
None a King Selassie I pickney a nuh sissy
Fi di fast cash pon dem neck man put hickey
Yuh see di bwoy dem move fishy, mi see

[Chorus:]
A batty ting dem a pree
Seh dem live cross di water and dem caan go a sea
Yuh see, dem a nuh gangsta fah mi

Yah hear mi, a batty ting dem a pree
How dem live cross di water and dem caan go a sea
Yah hear mi, a batty ting dem a pree
Dem bwoy deh dem a nuh gangsta fah mi, yah hear mi

[Verse 2:]
Just get a call from Jackie

How faggy mek she sad but di God mek she happy
Faggot well waan tek off di gal baggy
And go to har room pon mi broom she a trolly

[Chorus:]

How dem live cross di water and dem caan go a sea
Somebody tell mi, batty ting dem a pree

How dem live cross di water and dem caan go a sea
Mi see, a batty ting dem a pree
Ting dem a pree, yah hear mi

[Outro:]
Man from Portmore, man from Kingston
Some bumbohole nah have nuh knowledge or nuh wisdom
Dem know what is done
Man from Mo'Bay and from Ochi
Motherfuckers don't know me
Bwoy nuh know how fi approach mi
Mi nah fi, mi dun wid di war and mi collect di trophy
Mi see a batty ting, a batty ting dem a pree
But gangstas from St. Anns to Trulani
Dem fi know, and St. Mary
I warn to dem, done so dem a pree
Munga Honourable, man a rebel, heyyyyyyyyyy!
Mi see a batty ting dem a pree, a batty ting dem a pree
Batty bwoy dem now mon!
Batty bwoy caan war wid mi, yuh see!
