Mavado Lyrics

Dem think a smile man a greet dem wid
They believe a friendly man welcomes them, but in reality, a man with a belt buckle beats them.

Likkle pickney dem you mussa think dem big
You consider these small children to be overconfident, but a belt buckle man beats them.

Suh if a nuh black flag a wave then a white
If you don't possess the appropriate skills and resources for a fight, do not engage. It's either you are with them or against them.

If you cyaa manage war you fi stay out a fight
If you are unable to handle the war, stay away from the fight or you will suffer dire consequences.

A funeral keep after nine night
They hold a funeral nine nights after death.

Si dem a run down the afterlife
They are chasing scared people even in the afterlife.

The pussy dem a get facey and bright
These cowardly individuals are becoming more confident and provocative.

Tell dem fi low yard, right now mi dawgs dem nuh have no yard
Tell them to stay out of the area because most of the dogs are unleashed.

War start bomboclaat mi a go hard
The war has begun; he is fully prepared to fight and win.

Every matic, every rifle, buss up in a sequence
He's got every tool necessary to take down his enemies, and he'll use every one of them step by step.

Just give the Brawlers the go card
Allow the powerful henchmen to advance.

Bwoy Mumma bwal Oh-Lord
The mother weeps for her son's poor decisions and actions.

No mord, no ward
There's no more room for excuses or second chances.

You dead fi what you do
You brought this upon yourself.

Hey jungle a wa dem feel like?
What do they think they're doing in the dangerous and violent area?

Dem a play to much Granthieft Auto
They believe they are invincible like in the video game Grand Theft Auto.

Bat a fly in a real life
In real life, you can't just respawn after dying like in a video game.

Transform like Actimus Prime
Transforming, like the Transformers' Autobot leader Optimus Prime.

Suh my history nuh re-write
I'm proud of my heritage and won't change it to sound tough.

You born bad, badness never lead you
You may have been born into a bad environment, but it didn't make you bad; you chose to be that way.

Just riding a bike
It's just a simple and mundane thing to do.

Bwoy life fly gone wid the kite
Your life can be gone in a snap like a kite in the wind.

This year a memorial
This year, we commemorate the past.

Last year dem dead off
Last year, they died in large numbers.

Every link down a Town come a tell mi seh
Everyone in town is informing him that every link has been cut off.

All a the black glow sell off
All of the black flags have been sold out.

Left dem like a wounded dog pon the ground
They leave them lying helpless on the ground like an injured dog.

Like a Mad man spread off
They scatter and run like a wild man.

You si when the smoke clear, Gully run the place clear
After the smoke clears, there's no one left but the Gully Squad.

Dem scared dem run off
They run away because they are scared.

Dem a try voice fi mi place and turn off
They are attempting to take his place and lose.

Get the throne dem up, fi foam dem up
Let the authorities handle the situation.

Pussy skull a crack like stone a bruk
Their skulls will crack like broken stones.

Anyweh this catch you yo bone a bruk
Wherever this catches you, your bones will break.

You drop pon you face
You will fall face-first.

He is ready to fight last year's bad people again.

Mumma cry and dem a wipe her last tear
The mother can only cry as someone wipes her last tear away.

You nuh seet seh a casket dem waan shear
Don't you see that they are bringing a casket to take you away?

And you likkle friends just get hi last year
All of your small friends were killed last year.
