Stay with me, make we burn di kutchie (Hey)

Say, all of we a lick up di kutchie
Here comes di police, want arrest we
And when him see, say, dat are sensi
Him say, "Lord God, if you want join we, just-"

Stay with me, make we burn di kutchie
Stay with me, make we burn di kutchie

Say, when mi did born, mi mother disown me
When mi did born, mi mother disown me
Mi mother say, "Lord, what a ugly baby"
I tell you, I was brought up by mi granny
I tell you, I was brought up by mi granny
Say, as mi reach eight, mi gone at primary
Say, as mi reach ten, I gone secondary
As I reach sixteen, I gone at UC
And now I turn to be an MC
Di girls-dem a rush me, so wha'?

Stay with me, make we burn di kutchie (Hey)

Any girl who don't have baby fi me

Instead of deh at Kingston with di M16
Mi rather stay at country where di grass is green
And di air is so fresh and clean
And di air is so fresh and clean (So wha'?)
