Somebody once tell mi seh di world a go roll mi
Mi nah di sharpest tool inna di shed
She did a look kinda dumb wid har finger an har thumb
Inna di shape a one “L” pon har forehead
Well, di years start come an dem nuh stop come
Fed to di rules an mi hit di ground runnin’
Nuh make sense fi live without fun
Yuh brain get smart, but yuh head get dumb
So much fi do, so much fi see
So, wah wrong wid takin’ di backstreets?
Yuh wi never know if yuh nuh go (go)
Yuh wi never shine if yuh nuh glow
Hey now, yuh a one all-star
Get yuh game on, go play
Hey now, yuh a one rock star
Get di show on, get paid
(An all dat glitters a gold)
Only shootin’ stars break di mold
It a cool place, an dem seh it get colder
Yuh bundle up now, wait ‘til yuh get older
But di meteor men beg fi differ
Judgin’ by di hole in di satellite picture
Di ice we skate a gettin’ pretty thin
Di water a get warm, so yuh might as well swim
Mi world a blaze, how 'bout yours?
Dat’s di way mi like it, an mi wi never get bored
Hey now, yuh a one all-star
Get yuh game on, go play
Hey now, yuh a one rock star
Get di show on, get paid
(All dat glitters a gold)
Only shootin’ stars break di mold
Go fi di moon
Go, go, go, go fi di moon
Go, go, go, go fi di moon
Go, go, go fi di moon
Hey now, yuh a one all-star
Get yuh game on, go play
Hey now, yuh a one rock star
Get di show on, get paid
(An all dat glitters a gold)
Only shootin’ stars
Somebody once ask, “Could mi spare some change fi gas?
Mi need fi get miself away from dis place”
Mi seh, “Yep, wah a concept, mi could use a likkle fuel miself
An we could all use a likkle change”
Well, di years start come an dem nuh stop come
Fed to di rules an mi hit di ground runnin’
Nuh make sense fi live without fun
Yuh brain get smart, but yuh head get dumb
So much fi do, so much fi see
So, wah wrong wid takin’ di backstreets?
Yuh wi never know if yuh nuh go (go)

You no say Daddy me Snow me, I go blame
A licky boom-boom down
'Tective man he says see Daddy me
Snow me stabbed someone down the lane
A licky boom-boom down
Police-a dem dey come and-a blow down me door
One him come crawl through through my window
So they put me in the back of the car at the station
From that point on I reach my destination
Where the destination reached was the East Detention
Where they whipped down me pants and looked up me bottom
