Kartel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ariff, a wah do dem man
Nobody neva seh fi run (run)
Nobody seh fi run my youth
Nobody neva seh fi run
Unless yah run up inna mi gun
Hey, nobody neva seh fi run
Portmore, we neva seh fi run
Hey Rema, we neva seh fi run
Unless dem run up inna we gun

Who tell you fi run, anuh champs
Copper give you muscle contract, belly cramps
How yuh fi step pon roach likkle youth
You nuh ants?
Gunshot mek di bwoy piss inna him pants
Who tell you fi run, anuh champs
Copper give you muscle contract, belly cramps
How yuh fi step pon roach my youth
You nuh ants?
Copper mek yuh piss inna yuh pants

Mi nuh want you fi bop
Mi want you fi stand up and chat
Till copper lick out yuh headback
Grants Pen nuh fling rock
Fool, mi nuh want you fi run unless
Yah run up inna mi Glock
WhΠ΅n gunshot a clap
Anuh Diwali nor Tunda Clap
Yuh big farrid drop inna yuh lap
This a reggae, not hiphop
Anuh Biggie Smalls, anuh 2Pac
WhΠ΅n it done me stand up and you drop

Who tell you fi run, anuh champs
Copper give you muscle contract, belly cramps
How yuh fi step pon roach likkle youth
You nuh ants?
Gunshot mek di bwoy piss inna him pants
Who tell you fi run, anuh champs
Copper give you muscle contract, belly cramps
How yuh fi step pon roach my youth
You nuh ants?
Copper mek yuh piss inna yuh pants

Hey! Nuh you start it? Bring it to di finish
Today mi feel winnish, bwoy life get diminish
Yuh friend a move like Brutus
Jungle 12 gunshot dung all
Popeye wid di spinach
Killa seh fi tek di rifle from Hennis




20 gauge big like ball weh play tennis
A Kartel, OC, war angel, aka Dennis di menace
