Eh! Dem wuk dem obiah and try kill mi (Neva work!)

Chorus:
Dem sell one bag a lie and a sell dem samfie
Waan come frame I-AN-I but mi know dat's a lie
But I trust di most high di limit is di sky
And I will never, ever, stop from try
Verse 1:
Who dat a talk bout a mi? Well yuh know seh a nuh mi
A music mi study, mi nuh kill nobody
Who dat a talk bout a mi? Mi nuh kill nobody
Who dat a talk bout a mi? Well yuh know seh a nuh mi
Yuh neva see mi wid nuh mac 10 nah nuh Uzi
Cau if a mi, mi would a get rid of Bounty
And if a mi Capleton Bobo couldn't box mi
And if a mi, Carlene couldn't give di punny

But I trust di most high di limit is di sky
And I will never, ever, stop from try
Verse 2:
Look how far mi career a come from

But I trust di most high di limit is di sky
And I will never, ever, stop from try
