[Intro]
Whoa na na, yeah yeah ya zagga nagga now now
Oh lord, well I gotta friend called Tony
Who been build a one (?) from mi was a baby
His nickname afta dat is money
Let mi give dem di whole story, yeah ya ya!
[Verse 1]
As a juvenile in di ghetto were growin up
Their big guns wanted boy have showin us
And they keep tell him everyday that gun is no toy
Till policeman back him up
Shoot out his way, escape, he's fabulous
Jamaican most wanted he's dangerous
People dem a say this is one cantankerous boy
[Chorus]
Hey but now di back against di wall (Back against di wall)
Likkle yuh know yuh would a fall (Know yuh would a fall)
Seh dat yuh badda than all
But yuh shouldn't lick di bank down at di mall (bank down at di mall)
Now yuh modda pon har belly and a bawl (Pon har belly and a bawl)
When man mek dat phone call
(Oh now now now now)
[Verse 2]
Juan he was a victim of circumstances
Di system weh dem have yah it create this crisis
Yuh see a ghetto yute wit a gun na call him no boy
His gunshot to rahtid!!!
Lock off jobs in all di communities
As a ghetto yute yuh have a few opportunities
Lack of education wid all we abilities stall, hey ya!!!
[Chorus]
Hey but now di back against di wall (Back against di wall)
Likkle yuh know yuh would a fall (Know yuh would a fall)
Seh dat yuh badda than all
But yuh shouldn't lick di bank down at di mall (bank down at di mall)
Now yuh modda pon har belly and a bawl (Pon har belly and a bawl)
When man mek dat phone call
(Oh now now now now)
[Verse 3]
It's like working at a hospital yuh can't afford fi see innah
Workin at a restaurant yuh can(t) afford a food innah
Workin at a butty poor yuh can(t) afford a shoes innah
Feel se dat me right mi fren? No rasta!!!!
