[Intro]
From I and I was a youth, I and I used to watch Western movies
And I used to see posses and bounty hunters
Bounty hunters here, there and everywhere
Hunting this and that and they don't know where it’s at
[Chorus]
Dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (La-la-la, la-la-la)
Dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (La-la-la)
[Verse 1]
Mi see dem a come, I don't have no gun
But, man, mi have fi run before dem lick me down
The simplest thing, it is blam-blam-blam
What's going on in this island?
M16, pump action, and M1
SLR, submachine, gun Remington
[Chorus]
Dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (La-la-la)
[Verse 2]
Dem hunting in the days and dem worse at night
You don’t feel right, dem put up a fight
You ain't got pocket if you don't have long to live
Without a lot of money, you don't stand a chance
Dem ya bounty hunter mussi minister finance
[Chorus]
Dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (La-la-la)
[Verse 3]
Some in a Land Rover, some on motorbike
Every day, man, dem want to put up a fight
Some only walk, some a drive a motorcar
You don't have an ID and it's pure misery
[Chorus]
Dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (La-la-la)
Cah whether you are black, or whether you are white
Or whether you are wrong, or whether you are right
Bounty hunters purge on people's life
Dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (A la-la-la, la-la-la)
[Verse 4]
Cah just the other day me pon mi veranda
Then me encounter with a bounty hunter
Him tell mi say him hear me have marijuana
But in mi pocket really have a few dollars
Or it woulda turn out ina murder
Or it woulda turn out ina murder
[Chorus]
Mi say dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (Hear me now, star, hey)
The children deh at yard, mi say dem can't get no food
Mi wife start cussing, landlord say she rude
But me eat no grub and me ina bad mood
Cah dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (A la-la-la, la-la-la)
Dem cruelsome, dem cruelsome
And dem a look pure lump sum (A la-la, hear me why)
[Verse 5]
Just the other day me pon mi veranda
Then me encounter with a bounty hunter (Bimma)
Him tell mi say him hear me have marijuana
But in mi pocket really have a couple dollars
Or it woulda turn out ina murder
Or it woulda turn out ina murder
Say, they will bring you in alive if not dead
Just for a stick of sensi or lamb’s bread
But I know any guy can’t come disturb me
A true, dem ina category (Hey)
'Cause I know anyone can’t come disturb me
A true, dem ina category (Bounty hunters)
Say, they will bring you in alive if not dead
Bring you in alive if not dead
Some time wounded, dem lick off your head
A for a stick of sensi or a little lamb's bread
[Chorus]
Dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (La-la-la, la-la-la)
Dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (A la-la-la, hey)
[Verse 6]
Every day the rich man a drink champagne
While the poor people a feel all the strain
But it's the same blood run through we vein
[Chorus]
Dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (La-la-la, la-la-la)
Dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (La-la-la, la-la-la)
[Verse 7]
They will bring you in dead if not alive
And what they will pose is a lot of jive
Dem talking 'bout "Man, you put up a lot of fight"
[Outro]
Dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (La-la-la, la-la-la)
Dem hunting, dem hunting
And every day dem looking something (La-la-la, la-la-la)
Dem cruelsome, dem cruelsome
And every day dem looking lump sum (La-la-la, la-la-la)
Dem cruelsome, dem cruelsome
And every day dem looking lump sum (La-la-la)
