[Intro]
Want to know what slackness is?
I'll be a witness to that, unu come offa mi back
A whole heap a things out there waan deal wid and unu nah see that
Watch me now
Mi seh

[Chorus]
Society a blame Lady Saw fi di system dem create
When culture did a clap dem never let me through di gate, now
As me seh "sex" den waan fi jump pon mi case
But pick di beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi face

[Verse]
Slackness is when the road waan fi fix
Slackness, when governmеnt break dem promise
Slacknеss, when politician issue out guns
So di two party a shot dem one another down

A syndicate of man waan fi flop mi career, saying
"Lady Saw a lead di people dem astray"
What happen to the n*** beach we have inna Mo' Bay
And we own Sunday show that is promoting gay?

[Chorus]
Dem a blame Lady Saw fi di system dem create
When culture did a clap dem never let me through di gate, now
As mi seh "sex" dem waan fi jump pon mi case
Pick di beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi...

[Verse]
When you say "slack"
Don't point yuh finger at me
Government seh "Education, it is always di key", but
Tell me now, how di hell could it be
When di poorer class of people cya find di school fee?

Light bill, dem waan raise it to a hundred percent
Mi poor grand-mamma, she cya pay har rent
Know mi a deejay fi help her situation
But to how dem a flex, dem waan stop mi from nyam

[Chorus]
Dem a blame Lady Saw fi di system dem create
When culture did a clap dem never let me through di gate, now
As mi seh "sex" dem waan fi jump pon mi case
Pick di beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi face
[Verse]
Ban people? Trust me, dem wrong
Di only ban mi can get must be my wedding ban'
Remember dis, I'm a born Jamaican
And no matta how dem try mi nuh lef mi island

[Chorus]
Dem a blame Lady Saw fi di system dem create
When culture did a clap dem never let me through di gate, now
As mi seh "sex" dem waan fi jump pon mi case
Pick di beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi...

[Verse]
Dem seh mi slack, but it's a double standard ting
Slackness mek nuff man gone a farrin
International, a green dollars dem a bring
But true mi nah bring enough dem tek set inna mi skin

[Chorus]
Dem a blame Lady Saw fi di system dem create
When culture did a clap dem never let me through di gate, now
As mi seh "sex" dem waan fi jump pon mi case
But pick di beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi face

[Verse]
Slackness is when the road waan fi fix
Slackness, when government break dem promise
Slackness, when politician issue out guns
So di two party a shot dem one another down
A syndicate of man waan fi flop mi career, saying
"Lady Saw a lead di people dem astray"
What happen to the n*** beach dem have inna Mo' Bay
And we own Sunday show that is promoting di gay?

[Chorus]
Dem a blame Lady Saw fi di system dem create
When culture did a clap dem never let me through di gate, now
As mi seh "sex" dem waan fi jump pon mi case
But pick di beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi face

[Verse]
Dem seh mi ban, but trust me, dem wrong
Di only ban mi can get is my wedding ban'
Remember, I'm a born Jamaican
And no matter how dem try mi nuh lef mi island

[Chorus]
Dem a blame Lady Saw fi di system dem create
When culture did a clap dem never let me through di gate, now
As mi seh "sex" dem waan fi jump pon mi case
