Elephant Man is frustrated that the driver is taking so long to deliver the package. He suspects he's either extorting the sender or has car trouble. Elephant Man threatened him not to cause any trouble. He agreed to $400 delivery fee at 4 pm but they haven't shown up yet. As a hustler, he must start making a profit.


I wonda if I run him a try fi run wey wid di green Some might cannot be uncomfortable mi nah fi watch nuh flat screen Mi have some likkle Juve we nuh pass sixteen Mi a talk some vampire night who don't walk a day becau dem fly nuh clean Tell one a dem go circle 51st and Church and dem nuh see him Nobody messes wid my (?) dont yuh try and frame my green Nuh mess wid mi Arizona Green
Elephant Man becomes suspicious and wonders if the driver is trying to flee with his money. He's not worried because he might have trouble with bad influences. One of them is ready for a task. No one should mess with his things and try to scam him.


Seven O'Clock now this time mi nah tek nuh talk Run up mi posse then mi a go mek a likkle walk One a di Juve seh a mi should a know from di start Enough man foot him a bruk from dem come in New York True (**Cell Phone Rings) Hello who this? talk?

It's 7 pm, and Elephant Man is tired of waiting. He meets with his crew but realizes that one of the guys warned him about the driver being unreliable. Many have broken their limbs after coming to NY. The driver calls and tells him the police stopped him. Elephant Man instructs him to avoid Flatbush and meet him at a specified location. A dollar van stops and stinks the park. He warns him for future reference not to run red lights in a pedestrian-filled area. Elephant Man calls Buju Banton for help, who instructs him to call the driver's phone.


Mi hear him seh, bring it bring it di ting weh yuh get fi drop off Have big man a wait like eediat call yuh phone and lock it off Try, bring it bring it step pon di gas try mi case Cau time is money and customers a wait Try, bring it, bring it, business slow Cau mi waan fi flip it and flip it mek interest grow Try, bring it, bring it, mek sure it nuh short Cau mi just a come back fah mi food and nah look back nah stall
The chorus is repeated, explaining the importance of bringing the goods quickly, so Elephant Man can increase his profits.


A we tell dem seh we did dat song yah Fi man weh nuh love bruk man foot Big up to di Gargamel Buju Banton, song big, big! Kill him!!! Roach a pon di corna step out and crush him!!!
The outro consists of Elephant Man saying they made the song about someone who doesn't like people that break other people's limbs. They give shoutouts to Buju Banton and encourage violence against anyone who tries to harm them.

Sorry but I really don't remember. I'm not even sure if it was reggae gold. Could've been one of the other mix CDs. Gotta dig into my storage boxes and see what I can find lol.

Visionary Trailblazin

I was looking for it also. There's one more out there that I wish someone would post.

Visionary Trailblazin

Thanks but that's not the one I'm talking about. Buju's Driver A is the original. Elephant Man did his version "Bring It". And there's another one. I had it YEARS ago on Reggae Gold I think it was.
