mi entah di dancehall pepal look at mi / dem ah' wanna find mi,
bat dem could nat sjie / mi ah' di bushdaktah, smoukin' tons of weed
araun' mi smoke fram di ganja-tree

plijes polijesman duan' opan di window / caus' I like da smell
when i smouk di indou / I smouk di chalice, I smouk di bong
I an I dance to da tune 'till da rise ah-da sun

could you be loved

look at me dreddies ahn look at my blunt / ama rijel rastamaan
comin' fram a far-far land / me traveled far, to toas' this band
fram di Jah-mek-Jah, ina-di Switzaland

kam'aan everybady this is Steel Skeleton / kam'aan stamina
mamy kjan u feel da riddim / give it up fi di guitar, bejis, wainds
ahn di dram / cos' with this band you cjan party till da maarnin' kjam

kam'aan gjial me feel irie tunait / plijes give me di chance to
'I-nite / di ride afta di party will be de 'I-light / bat suddanly mi
wake up an me see di rite

it was all just a daydrijem on di telephoun / me felt like a
rastaman fram di flesh ahn di boun / I is no a rasta ina-di Kingston-town
me say irie lets smouk' sam herb an di drijem go anatha roun'
