DJ Derek Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

hey
you say that jah walk a blazing fire
but my people won't watch the other
they were all sung by you
and now we act
you said it Jah walk a burning fire
you said it i am a blackhead shiny
but when i were with you
i was like
live and let others live and your days will be much longer
you said it jah walk a blazing fire

you said it i am a blackhead shiny
but still and know i'm your superior
time is longer than rope




and time no catchin up on you
you said it jah walk a blazing fire

although the feud was later patched up by the Jamaican authorities making them both pose in a picture shaking hands, it seems Derrick just won his rival Prince Buster by outliving him in the end. not to take anything away from Buster and Derrick though, as they both had great tunes in their catalogue
