Riot
Sean Paul Lyrics

Well a we say "give me the light' and "buss a bottle of Mo"
We demand to be given light and we break open a bottle of Moet Champagne in celebration.

And a welcome people to Jamrock each and every stage show
We greet the people of Jamaica at every performance.

Try fi overlook we dem time deh, cant do it now
They used to ignore us, but they can't anymore.

The only sound is crickets, critics cant speak now
Silence reigns, and our critics can't say anything.

I man si di enemies a rise, ain't no surprise
I see that our enemies are getting stronger, but that's not unexpected.

Mi give bad man a blaze and a laugh
I fire at bad men and laugh at them.

Dem a look fi my demise wid dem lies dem a work dem witchcraft
They are trying to bring about my downfall using lies and witchcraft.

Pon elected and protected by the chief of staff
They are protected by the highest-ranking official.

So make dem get feisty dem face will face my Clarks
If they cause trouble they will face my Clarks shoes.

I see di enemies a rise and don't surprise If dem line out inna chalk
I see our enemies getting stronger and it wouldn't surprise me if they end up dead.

If dem love dem life, dem watch how dem move, and mine how dem a talk
If they value their lives, they should be careful of their actions and words.

When the lion dem wake and roar, that mean seh no dog no bark
When the powerful people wake up and speak out, others dare not oppose them.

If a supn dem a prove, then a supn dem a lose when man a get dark
If they want to prove something, they might end up losing everything in the end.

P p p plaque up inna mi head
I am worried and anxious.

Ah ignite up inna mi thoughts
I am filled with emotion.

So don't be fooling yourself and think a yuh alone smart
Don't overestimate your intelligence and underestimate others.

Di profit tell you seh provoke the youths not to wrath
The wise one tells us to avoid angering the youth.

Deal wid di youth dem right or else a Riot going start
Treat the youth with respect or else a riot will occur.

When di lion dem a sleep, do no wake them up back
Don't provoke the powerful when they are quiet.

Mi sorry fi di sheep, leopard and di bullfrog
I pity the weak and vulnerable.

When di peace it a keep, do no get wi head hot
When things are peaceful, don't get overly confident.

A Riot going start, a Riot going start
A riot is about to break out.

Gong Zilla, Sean paul, colder than a cold sore
Our names and personas are tough and intimidating.

No flaw, so sharp, wanted like a outlaw
We don't have any weaknesses, we are sharp and desired like outlaws.

Dread Locks, Mohawk, gyal no meck di road block!
Our hairstyles are symbols of rebellion, and women can't resist us.

Well a who dem Sean and which part dem come from a pose up like a wall?
Who are these people posing like they are important and where do they come from?

Mi no kno you kno Gong, definite dem wrong, mi no trust dem none at all
I don't know you, you don't know me, you're definitely wrong, I don't trust you at all.

Obviously the only outcome is that them bout fi fall
Clearly, their downfall is the only possible result.

If dem diss we, dem wake up and see, dem life done that is all
If they disrespect us, they will soon regret it and lose everything.

Because no bwoy, no guy no fi a have man name a call
No one should call another man names.

No day, no time mi no accept no common assault
I won't tolerate any kind of verbal or physical attack.

Naw watch no face man a living Juggernaut
I'm not afraid of anyone and I'm unstoppable.

Man a no Bugs Bunny, Man a no Disney nor Walt
We're not cartoon characters or entertainment, we're real people.
