Cause yuh come sideways rudebwoy, phenomenon one, oonu listen
There's nothin you can do that make me run away from this clash yah, this clash yah
And there is no DJ can put the competition to Ninja, Ninja
Yes I'm tellin yuh from the start I will break yuh little heart
And leave oonu dung a ground cause I'm the real poison dart
There's no word you can say that it could offend the Ninja, yuh tell mi
Mi gone murder dem, murder dem inna competition a go murder dem
Yuh tell oonu murder dem, murder dem
Inna competition mi a go murder dem
When mi gone, a who dat a follow mi?
When mi look on a ruffneck bad bwoy Josey
When mi gone, a who dat a follow mi?
Pon di right side mi look a Lieutenant Stitchie
When mi gone, a who dat a follow mi?
Who a jump out like wild animal can't you see
A bad bwoy Tiger we a di celebrity
When mi gone, who exactly behind mi
Di yute wey ruff weh name Admiral Bailey

When mi gone, mi come fi kill somebody
Yuh guy murder dem, murder dem

Because mi tek off di whip, tek off di whip
Tek off di whip a wid di saddle wid it
And then mi saddle di horse, saddle di horse
Put it pon di track and then mi a go kick off
Tek di battry, tek di battry
A when inna di race mi have nuh sympathy

Cause If I legalize yuh rights yuh get, dung to length

Mi tell dem move from here if yuh waan tremble
Dem seh dat Ninja Man a one a Jah disciple
Round microphone dem seh mi too terrible

Jamiecan sound is universal and intoxicating. I was listening to these sounds in 1990 in a small region of Guatemala between Belize and Honduras. I was serving a religious mission at the time but who could forget those beats and bass coming out of houses at night parties.
