(Chorus)
Mi nuh tek box up
Mi no tek program
Mi no inna fist fight wid no bwoy
Anywhere mi walk mi no inna long talk
No bwoy cyaa used mi like a dem toy
Mi nuh tek box up
Mi no tek program
Mi no inna fist fight wid no bwoy
Anywhere mi walk mi no inna long talk
No bwoy cyaa used mi like a dem toy
(Verse 1)
Dem cyaa press mi like a control
Cyaa send mi out fi thief cash and gold
Dem could a beat it like a drum roll
Me naw run from war mi big bad and bold
Tough up jaw bone talk like dem heart cold
When dem reach home gyal beat dem wid pole
Tell him fi cook food and the clothe dem fi fold
Dem bwoy deh dem a baby inna strol
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Spend mi own money

Haffi get rich yes that a my plan
Flanka capture land yeh a deh mi come from
When mi a step inna mi place mi no ask permission
Some bwoy nuh have ambition
Go a Dancehall a depend pon gang
Itch up pon corner run extortion

(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Verse 1)
