[Intro]
Whether you be short (Jah man)
Or whether you be tall
Well, I make you get on the ball, an' don’t you stall
After all (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Some of dem a holla, some a bawl (I tell you, said-a)
Some of dem a holla, some a bawl
[Refrain]
Mi say, united we stand, divided we fall
Some don't know themself until dem back against di wall
An' anytime rain fall a lot of car stall
[Chorus]
Some of dem a holla, some a bawl (I tell you, said-a)
Some of dem a holla, some a bawl
[Verse 1]
Mi say, before mi go a road an’ draw innocent blood
Mi prefer come a dance an' make you ball forward
You add soap to water, you get soap soda
Mi never a dread who don't like him cali bud
Mi never see a hog who don't like play in a mud
[Chorus]
Some of dem a holla, some a bawl
[Verse 2]
Cah, tell you, said, mi never a dread who don't like cali bud
Mi never see a hog who don't like play in a mud
Mi prefer listen disco when mi go a night club
But, when mi deh a dance - a strictly rub-a-dub
[Chorus]
Cah, some of dem a holla, some a bawl
I tell you, said-a, some of dem a holla, some a bawl
[Verse 3]
Mi know a little youth by di name of Raymond
Him left him country an' come drive town gal
But, policeman hold him with a pump action
Cah, little after dat, dem carry him to di station
Dem ask him what's his name, him said-a "Raymond"
Say, "how old you are", him say, "twenty-one"
Di case nah trial ’til di twenty-second
[Chorus]
What a tribulation pon di land
Jah man, what a tribulation pon di land (Hey-a!)
[Bridge]
Mi say, a due to di financial situation
Say, on di poor man, lack a education
[Chorus]
Some of dem a holla, some a bawl
I tell you, said-a, some of dem a holla, some a bawl
[Verse 4]
Two little bredrin, dem sat up pon a wall
Cah, one name "Peter", di other name "Paul"
Well-a, lick your pipe, Peter, cho, lick di pipe, Paul
Paul never like to lick pipe at all
’Cause, him head too bald
Him take a fall over Jericho wall (Do it, Jah!)
[Chorus]
Some of dem a holla, some a bawl
Cah, tell you, said-a, some of dem a holla, some a bawl
[Refrain]
Mi say, united we stand, divided we fall
But, some don't know themself until dem back against di wall
No matter if you short, no matter if you tall
We all have fi answer when Jah Jah call
[Chorus]
Some of dem a holla, some a bawl
I tell you, said-a, some of dem a holla, some a bawl
[Verse 5]
Mi say, mi know two youth an’ dem live at Westmoreland
Cah, one name "Peter", di other name "John"
Mi cyaan find Peter, mi cyaan find John
Dem mussi fall in a Babylon hand
Jah man, dem mussi fall in a Babylon hand (Hey-a!)
[Chorus]
Some of dem a holla, some a bawl
Cah, tell you, said-a, some of dem a holla, some a bawl (Ribbit)
Some of dem a holla, some a bawl (Do it)
Some of dem a holla, some a bawl (But you see mi)
[Outro]
Mi neat, mi sweet, mi know how fi dweet
An' anything mi chat-a, mi do not repeat
I tell you, pure Clarks is what I wear on mi feet
Jah man, good food, that's what I have to eat
