[English]

Dem man came on a galavan ting

King stepped in on a badda man ting

Stepped in di place, everything is shining

Look how I hit dem wit' di lightning

Dem man came on a galavan ting

King stepped in on a badda man ting

Stepped in di place, everything is shining

Look how I hit dem wit' di lightning

Done all a dem, man bun alla dem

Fuck alla dem, I don't trust nona dem

Shmokey fi dem cah they bad minded

Everybody run when da boogeyman come
