Hmm… eben’ doah dem nebba hear a’ us

Dem orda’ us to wull di bus—mi fuss

Areddi itchin’ fi tings a gwaan

Di walk’ yah jus tuh ramp pan di blacktop

Huh—so, I pulled up in a station wagon

I got the swagger of a katydid—bzz!

I finna’ catch stars as they drop far

I’m too Mufasa to diss Scars

O’ mia di ongle one ahuu can fee’

Lakka mi hab ah gun fi ah han’

No one I’ve met has the will to stay

(They’re stuck at the bottom)

And what would I lose if I went back down?

(What’s the consequence?)

I fought my way here from the other side

And it goes on and on and on and on and on

Watch di kids gather roun wen wi step outside…

It takes a second, maybe two or three

To go from the man next door

To the supеrhero out in the streets

Saving ungrateful victims

I pick ‘еm like flowers that tickle

O’ mia di ongle one ahuu can fee’

Lakka mi hab ah gun fi ah hand

Buh pree mi run lakka mon wid ah yulluh’ bac

Pree mi vroom, vroom, vroom akrass di highway

-Via jackrabbit

Eben doah mi habba’ kun’ criss gun fi ah han’

No one I’ve met has the will to stay

(They’re stuck at the bottom)
