Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dre Skull, oh-eh-oh
Like a dog

Man used to hungry every tick a di clock
Couldn't find food fi put inna di pot
Inna di street everyday mi a chip and a chop
Some a seh mi nah buss, some a flip and a flop
Mi did a pree fi buss dem head wid mi Glock
Grizzly Bear seh a bad energy dat
Nowadays mi just sit at di top
Shame every dutty mouth weh did a chat

Swear to God I'm winning
Inna di hills I'm chilling
Strong like mi a feed pon spinach
Mi name global like Guinness

Notnice, man a star, man a star
Man a super
Man a star, man a star
Man a super (star)
Yuh can ask grandma 'bout me
Man a star from day one
Mmmm, man a star, man a star
Man a super (star)

Hey
Inna di place I live
None a my killy dem nuh burn no bridge
So mi gain, I give
Paper blown on Benz and I spend some mil
Nah change my style
Big fat 'matic fi guh spray dem yeye
Can't diss di killy dem, wi nuh play dat guy
Unruly until di day I die
Everybody seh mi sell out, and mi sure dem buy
Dem know mi great 'cause mi show dem why
If dem can't see dat, then mi know dem blind
Unruly a di Golden Child
Chosen Child

Man a star, man a star
Man a super
Man a star, man a star
Man a super (star)
Yuh can ask Muslim 'bout me
Man a star from day one
Yeah, man a star, man a star
Man a super (star)

To me there ain't no challenger
No matter dem age pon di calendar
Dem artist ya rate mi so much when dem go a dem yard
A mi song dem a remember, oii
Man don't deh pon mi agenda
Unruly a shot like a Beringer
Buss dem head like a cylinder
Then fuck dem gal pon mi veranda
Woii, oii

Swear to God I'm winning
Inna di hills I'm chilling
Strong like mi a feed pon spinach
Mi name global like Guinness

Notnice, man a star, man a star
Man a super
Man a star, man a star
Man a super (star)
Yuh can ask Muslim 'bout me
Man a star from day one
Yeah, man a star, man a star
Man a super (star)

(A we control sky, so we roll high
Man a make moves, and we don't comply
Tell dem we nuh worry 'bout gal
And we nuh fear no guy
Born star, yuh fi see dis inna mi eye)

(A we control sky, so we roll high
Make all moves, and we don't comply
Tell dem we nuh worry 'bout gal




And we nuh fear no guy
Born star, yuh fi see dis inna mi eye)
