If they are not loyal and sincere, you should avoid them.

Is like a yuh meck dem cyaa sleep
It is as if you are the reason they can't sleep peacefully.

Is like a yuh meck dem cyaa eat
There is no peace within them, even enough to eat.

Dem all a grudge yuh fi the leather paw yo car seat
They are jealous of your achievements and success and hold a grudge even for the leather seats in your car.

But yo progressive in a life is like yo born fi it
However, you are tenacious and good at moving ahead, and it seems like you were born to succeed.

Yo si yo goal and yo gone fi it
You are receptive, aware of your purpose, and work for it diligently.

Ghetto yo born pon the concrete
Regardless, you were born in the ghetto, living and fighting for yourself on the streets.

And yo never sell yo soul and tek the wrong street
Despite the struggles, you never resorted to compromising yourself and going on the wrong path.

Wa meck yo special suh? Am so special suh
What makes you so extraordinary? You are just special.

From badmind cyaa stop yuh yo special to
Your adversaries cannot halt your journey because you are unique and special.

Dem cyaa pull yo down let the special go
They cannot pull you down as you will thrive regardless of circumstances.

They are not wicked or evil, but they are envious.

Dem get the blessing and waste fi dem time
They have opportunities and blessings, but they waste them due to their internal state.

Mi si dem stop allot a youth shine
These people hinder many youths from shining and succeeding in life.

Try stop mine well a straight dollar coin
They will try to halt my growth, but they can't because I have an unyielding motivation.

Mi seh it in a dem blood
Their innate nature is flawed, and they cannot help it.

When the gully come down a dem a wash in a the flood
When there's a catastrophe or problem, they are the ones affected the most.

Every crab in a barrel and every hog in a the mud
Every one of them is untrustworthy and not reliable.

Yo seet in a the hail field... it in a the hug
Even when you are in trouble or struggling, they are indifferent and unconcerned.

That's why a years now yo done wid dem friendship
This is why you are no longer friends with them for a long time.

If yuh a hot up dem head go look some fenzick
If your actions are aggravating them, go and find some remedy to decrease their irritation.

Real people cyaa tek pretend ship
Genuine and true people cannot deal with fake and contrived behavior.

And if a gyal a f another man mi haffi bench it
If a girl is cheating on me with another man, I will have to leave her.

And if a guy a fassy hole let go the endz quick
Likewise, if a guy is into homosexuality, it's better to leave that area or dodge him.

Qully finger fast pon the chigger like the Benz quick
My index finger moves swiftly like a Benz car when I pull out the trigger to shoot.

Bwoy duppy bat a flick, yeh mi do allot of it
I can easily flick out any random guy who annoys me or gets in my way like a ghost.

And even if hi pack in a the gun yo know mi glock have it
And even if they have a gun with them, I have my own glock to counter them.
