Watchie pum fi get bottle boom,
And satalite fi get dandimite,
Cause dem bwoy deh wi no like,
Dem a move too hype,
Fly by day pitch by night,
Some old thiefing bwoy.
Cho:
And some bwoy a look man fi rob,
Some bwoy a talk how dem des,
Some bwoy wi tekthe chain off yuh chest,
Some bwoy a juck down fi car ,
Some bwoy a look man fi war,
Some bwoy a tell dem a who,
Some bwoy woulda rob yu fi yu shoe.
Verse1
Bwoy deh pon wi corner like a fowl him a perch,
Every woman weh pass him a beg har a search,
Say him des fi a food and how him welll want apurs,
Is a half a brick him get fi go a Public go nurs,
Now him a come a rallly back bout a man fi pay him dues,
If a man try dis him corner a go bruise,
Wi haffi wonder if di bwoy a put coke to use,
Inna him face wi haffi land all a shoes.

Verse 2:

But if a bwoy feel bad and ready fi dweet,
And waan test man a road him better shoot up the street,
Cause if a gun fi brandish an a corn fi beat,
We a bwoy weh nuh deal with defeat.
Cho:
In Spragga Benz's song "Some Bwoy," he critiques the behavior of certain types of men in Jamaica. The opening lines describe the violent tendencies of some men, likening them to explosive devices such as a bottle bomb or dynamite. The chorus highlights several negative attributes that these men exhibit, including arrogance, thievery, and a propensity for violence. The verses expand on these negative attributes, describing men who beg for food and search women, as well as those who turn to crime in order to survive.
Throughout the song, Spragga Benz seems to be urging men to reject these negative attributes and instead strive towards better behavior. He references the need for men to work hard and earn respect, rather than demanding it through intimidation or violence. He also suggests that resorting to criminal behavior only leads to more problems in the long run.
In "Some Bwoy," Spragga Benz is shining a light on a troubling aspect of Jamaican society, and calling on men to strive for better. By speaking out against the negative behaviors described in the song, he is encouraging listeners to consider the impact of their actions and work towards a more positive future.
