[Verse 1:]
Dem buss it so prevalent
And nuff ah dem kick de bucket

So gunman watch it
Rastaman come strong with love inna de district
You are most American, with yuh gun 'pon yuh hip
De cop all dem still hide

Whether nah no not Jah coast ah-yow, cowboy go down
Done know yuh bow--yuh shot yuh brother with yuh gun
Fuh rights, nah justice, yuh nah buss it fi none

Rastaman no try no deal, we no fear no wicked man
Shipment come in a drum, so dem ah boast
