Shabba Rankin reggae people's callin' out,
People from east, west, north, and south.
Say I'm the MC with the nasty mouth,
Dem feel like is pure slackness alone I can talk about.

Who is the route Robert Nesta
And Bunny Wailer follow after,

It is music, mi charge for.
Look how deh world noh stop suffer.
What have black people under pressure.
Some talk dis, and some talk dat,
Say everyting from Shabba mouth is slack,
I love roots and reality straight to the max,

Because I'm a article oil-abash.

To teach all deh youngster,
And all yeh mudda and fader.
Honor your mother and father.
So dat yuh days will be longer.
Some talk dat, and some talk dis,

Nuff ah dem ah fight 'gainst slackness lyrics

And some of dem waah people be vulgar,

Teach 'em just like a teacher,
Make them listen, to me like a pastor.
