Nowdays them a braid, twist and them a plait
I&I natty dreadlocks
Nowdays them a braid, twist and them a plait
But I&I natty dreadlocks

Remember way back when, when rasta had no friend
When he was down in his luck and couldn't find a buck
Babylon and his friends, there ain't no end I&I penitentiary

Bad bwoy (bad boys), them a run things (yeah)
I went to jamdown and over foreign
Bad bwoy (bad boys) haffi run things here
Enough badman live in a foreign

Shot a glock over inna matches lane
Grandmama oh I’ll ready in pain
Trying to get johnny one visa
Say in a foreign life would be easier
Down the lane fire one pop
Now in a foreign, fire big glock
Left from york, you call him exporty
Now him return, you call him deported

Bad bwoy (bad boys) them a run things here
Enough badman live in a foreign
Bad bwoy (bad boys) haffi run things here
Wowo enough badman live in a foreign

Talk burn when elementary
No body an done a casa boboli
But in the ghetto wish brooklyn new york
You can trust shadow in the dark
So you see we juggling' skills
I set up roots in a cypress hills

Bad bwoy (bad boys) them a run things here
Went a jamdown and inna foreign
Bad bwoy (bad boys) haffi run things here
Enough badman live in a foreign

Back in the days this was like a ghost town
And every day just another shot down
Eighteen God, cypress pon lock
Before the nigga man I giga on the block
So you see we juggling' skills
We set up roots inna cypress hills
Left from york as an exporty
Now him return you'll be calling deported

Bad bwoy (bad boys) haffi run things here
Enough badman live in a foreign
Bad bwoy (bad boys) haffi run things here
Wowo enough badman live in a foreign

Remember way back when
When rasta had no friends
When he was down and is luck
And couldn't find a buck
Babylon and his friends, there ain't no end
I an I penitentiary
