Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Man don't talk, man rob
Run up in the trap like boss weh di money deh food affi nyam
Yuh, tek weh yuh arm pon deh 'chete before it get chop
Bumbaclat ya a eediat, ya a eediat, don't bother try run, yuh
Look, man don't talk, man rob
Run up in the trap like boss weh di money deh food affi nyam
Yuh, tek weh yuh arm pon deh 'chete before it get chop
Bumbaclat ya a eediat, ya a eediat, don't bother try run

Look, PK Humble phoned man and said he got a movie
I said, "Bro, I don't want no zenos I ain't no juvie"
He said, "3 nine bars of the Buju Banton, let's do this"
Me done talk, meet me at the spot down suh, I'mma be there soonish
Some of these olders just loud
Keep talkin' 'bout droppin' man grub

Phone up PK Humble, we need a robbery

Man don't talk, man rob
Run up in the trap like boss weh di money deh food affi nyam
Yuh, tek weh yuh arm pon deh 'chete before it get chop
Bumbaclat ya a eediat, ya a eediat, don't bother try run, yuh
Look, man don't talk, man rob
Run up in the trap like boss weh di money deh food affi nyam




Yuh, tek weh yuh arm pon deh 'chete before it get chop
Bumbaclat ya a eediat, ya a eediat, don't bother try run

Overall Meaning

β€œRobbery” by Abra Cadabra is a song that tells the story of violent robberies being committed by the artist and his crew members. The chorus β€œMan don't talk, man rob” emphasizes that actions speak louder than words, and that the artist and his crew prefer to let their criminal behavior speak for itself. The lyrics also contain references to weapons and violent acts, with lines like β€œYuh, tek weh yuh arm pon deh 'chete before it get chop” which means β€˜take your arms away from your machete before it gets chopped’ and β€œFiddi come clean, Fiddi got loud” which suggests that Fiddi is carrying a firearm. The song also references PK Humble, who is implied to be the driving force behind the robberies.


The verses portray the artist’s disdain for those who talk about their criminal behavior without actually committing the crimes. The artist is portrayed as a more hardened criminal who carries out the robberies without hesitation. The lyrics seem to suggest that the robberies are motivated by greed and the need for money to survive.
