Singer:buju banton

yes

well

tek dis from gargamel

uddawise known as buju

anytime yuh go foreign

neva yuh dare t'row stone behind you

'ca wicked t'ings will tek yuh

watch mi nuh! yuh hear!

t'ings change

now unno see sey life hard

why yuh neva sen' no money come a yard

yuh wretch you

yuh spen' di whole a it abroad

squander yuh money now yuh livin' like dog

boy get deport come dung inna one pants

bruk an' have no money

but mi nuh response

no abiding city

wan pressure fi mi ranch

an' when 'i'm dey a foreign 'i'm did important

but 'i'm neva did a look back

neva did a glance

neva know 'i'm would a tumble ova like an avalanche

mama dung inna di hole

an' 'i'm don't buy her a lamp

not a line

not a letter

nor a fifty cent stamp

him father want a shoes an' cannot go to remi-ttance

when mi hear di bwoy get dep

yuh know mi vibes cramp

send 'i'm back

uncle sam

cause 'i'm deh dey an' a ramp

an nuff yout' out 'ya wan drop inna di camp

one drop inna di snow from about seventy-nine

neva get di chance cause it wasn't my time

an' mi hear yuh dey a foreign an' commit di most crime

an' mek a bag a money when mi couldn't mek a dime

memba one time gon how yuh used to brag

benz an' lexus a wey yuh did have

clarks and bally whey yuh got in a bag

clothes wey yuh no wear still have on nametag

now yuh crash up

now yuh mash up

yuh neva did a plan

yuh neva bid a check fi lay a foundation

mi holla

back together again

mi baby fren'

dust off yuh clothes

an' start from scratch again

back together again

mi baby fren'

dust off yuh clothes

an' start

nuh true

caught up in di world of di rich and di famous

golden livity it haffe luxurious

have all di girls in di world in a surplus

massage yuh shoulder

bump some a bust

request yuh coffee an' she pour it from a thermos

cool an' kick back an' just a watch delirious

now yuh sorry

yuh neva memba

di almighty one in yuh days of splendor
