After dark don't trust no shadow
Never you lend out guns never you borrow
Ever see! a body push out inna wheelbarrow
Ever see a mother bawl out fi pain and sorrow
This a nuh scary movie but dem ting ya a rough
You caan bend inna di ghetto you haffi straight like arrow
Concentrate! never lose your meds never borrow
Try no flip, a nuh tips dem wi give you fi swallow
What a heat when you step in di street a shot a beat
Shot a fly through your teeth, it just sweet no matter who a do'it
Times get red! hot, nuh play tough cause you
Will get a copper or lead shot
