Laugh and a pretend then a stab you in a di back
Well me humble, a wait
Meekly a watch into the fire

You run gone go dig you pit and set up them trap
Obeah wolf a come under the lock
So King Emmanuel put on me turban wrap
So them yah time Babylon you must get lash
Like a tomato you must get splash
Them a chat bout me poor true me clothes full a patch
And through them pull a door and got a key to them lock
Well Babylon, Jesse Christ him black
Chorus
Dem don't got no love ina dem heart and me see it
