Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
need more than a shot fi send a real man outta road
If you wanna see him dead me tell you bad man reload
Nah hope fi a full life if you don't know your role
you'll never be a man
Succes is a problem, yes fi dem a problem
Dem a look busy and nah like when we true talk to dem
try never sell out and never dis your deal
Bad man me talk to you
Practice what u preaching, improve your teaching
Show a little youth how a man must be respected
Teach dem mouth to learn before talk cause you really can't stop any word after you send it out
Hold proudly to your conviction build your mind strong with no too fast opinion
Harvest of a good work a deep inspiration affi humble up your heart and strengthen your soul
Violence away, make your love be the answer, try learn your way before looking for another
Me say watch up out there, away from your corner how the people dem living on
Bad man beware
here no liar can't tell no lie
Wash your hands before start nyam your dinner runaway If you can't overstand it
vibes from hypocrite a real man nah deal with
Beware here no liar can't tell no lie yeah
If you come down a dinner runaway
If you can't overstand it
Watch inside just fi know who's the resident
Aboard your ship you are the leader and the servant
Hold the helm and the cloth at the same time
Finally we all need right hand man so
Don't fool nobody you will payback that shit with your glory
One day, all a those things gonna back on your way you will pay fi what's done
There's no place ina the battle for your bad habit
Some a them hear the shot after dem get hit
Stay focus on your role ina this tuff traffic
cause a delicate boat gonna make shark profit
We are all travelers looking for we tomorrow
When a door is closed over you many more is open
Pon the riverside see dem let it flow, falling with the weight of them heavy tears
Me don't want no curtains pon my window
Free up me landscape let sun shining more and more
There is no complain I know fi rise up and improve me human condition.
Bad man beware

Wash your hands before start nyam your dinner runaway If you can't overstand it
vibes from hypocrite a real man nah deal with
Beware here no liar can't tell no lie yeah
If you come down a dinner runaway
If you can't overstand it
