Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who am i, is just the girls dem sugar
(alright), hear yah nuh
sim simma, who got the keys to my bimmer
Who am i? the girls dem sugar
How can i, make love to a fellow?
In a rush, pass mi the keys to my truck
And I and I will make love to precious
1: yu ever buck a gal weh deep like a bucket
Draw fi yuh needle and yuh needle can't stitch it
Draw fi yuh axe and like a cow yuh all a chop it
Draw fi yuh pickaxe and like a rung yuh all a dig it
Is like a riverside upon di banking, yuh tek it
Is like a bicycle so yuh hold it and dash it
Now yuh wash it so yuh crash it she a tell yuh sey yuh crabbit
Gal she a beg yuh and a bawl seh fi stop it
Bad man plug in and mi love off a electric
Is like a basketball she tek time out fi vomit
Unuh listen to mi style and unuh listen to mi lyrics
A beenie man dey yah, mi a drop it (a seh)
2: but anything she wants, I will give it unto she
I can't believe the day mi friend dem tell me dat she flee
I don't believe it's angry and I don't believe it's grief
I don't believe it's susan or the other girls I breed
The love for me she have that is the only thing I need
I don't think den right now just to lose my main squeeze
Oh guantamena, yuh a killer
Gal di way yuh hot have mi body under pressure
Man see yuh body all a kill mosquito
Hold yuh body right just fi know yuh got di power
I tell myself I don't want nobody else to ever love me
You are my guiding star, my shingling light, I love you baby
But that day you leave me and you gone
I know that girls they're going crazy
I know the girls lumpsome all dem run come
'cause di hola dem want this baby
I told you one and I told you twice
That I am the girls dem sugar
Now the girls dem attack me and di girls dem a rush mi
Because dem a drive in a bimmer
A di girls dem flavour, I am no slaver
I am the helper, no paper
An a girl just a watch yah
A want unuh hear yah an listen weh di deejay a seh
The lyrics to Beenie Man's song "Who Am I" explore the enticing nature of the female body and the power it holds over men. The chorus begins with the artist asking the question "Who am I?" and then answering it himself by calling himself the "girls dem sugar." This sets the tone for the rest of the song as he continues to talk about his experience with women. The first verse talks about how he has encountered a girl who is so desirable he feels powerless to resist her. The lyrics use metaphors to describe the girl's allure, such as "deep like a bucket" and "hot like fire." He continues to explain how he will do anything to fulfill her desires, even if it means giving her the keys to his truck. The second verse is more introspective as he talks about the importance of his main squeeze and how he will do anything to keep her. He acknowledges that other girls may appear enticing, but it's the love for his main girl that he truly desires.
Overall, "Who Am I" is a celebration of the power of female sexuality and the male desire for it. Beenie Man's lyrics paint a picture of men who are helpless in the face of the female form, willing to give up anything to gain their attention. It's a timeless theme that has been explored in music for generations.

This track right here turned me on to Beenie Man & DanceHall.
This is still my most favorite song ever made.
I started buying every Beenie CD after this.
It made me want to visit Jamaica.
Finally after being a dirt poor kid who never left my state, I saved $$$ and took my girlfriend to BREEZES RUNAWAY BAY in Jamaica the year of 2002. We both were 23 years old. We only had enough $ to fly and stay 3 nights but it was the best trip in my entire life and from 2004 to 2011, each year we would go to Breezes Runaway Bay in the month of April or May and stay 7 nights.
Beenie Man was my SOUNDTRACK each visit.
Actually we've been 2 times in the past 5 years to the new Jewel Runaway Bay with our 5 year old son. He loves it and we are going back again next year (2019).
LOVE YOU BEENIE.
