Long time mi ready, bun dung dreddie
Nuff a dem guh bow, mi seh dem nah hold nuh meddy

Smoke too much coke, di whole a dem a drop steady

[Verse 1]
How yuh fi Ras and den yuh still a eat pork?
How yuh fi Ras and den yuh still a smoke coke?
Still all a sail pon Babylon boat
Nuff rent a dread guh bow pon di north coast
Bow to di Queen, bow to di Pope
Unda di influence of di ting called di dope
Nuff a tek di heroine an' nuff a tek coke
Everyone a hear dem note, everyone a see dem sport
Bare almshouse dem come 'round yah an' support
Nuff seh dem a lion but mi see seh dem a goat
Pass mi di sword and mek mi chop off their throat
Nuff a dem a hang up inna John Paul rope
[Chorus]
Long time mi ready, bun dung dreddie
Nuff a dem guh bow, mi seh dem nah hold nuh meddy
Long time mi ready, bun dung dreddie
Smoke too much coke, di whole a dem a drop steady
Long time mi ready, bun dung dreddie
Nuff a dem guh bow, mi seh dem nah hold nuh meddy
Long time mi ready, bun dung dreddie
Hey Jazzwad, a wah hap'n to dem, yute? Yo, again
[Verse 2]

Guh call di tick and put di fyah pon di top

Separate di wolf dem from di sheep flock
Man a real Congo Natty, man anuh curly locks
Cyaan diss di Bobo an' seh di Bobo wear frock
Cyaan see di king if yuh nuh royal hat
Royalness haffi di royal flock
Robe an' turban fi di royal flock

Nuff a dem a lion but mi see seh dem a fox

Long time mi ready, bun dung dreddie
Nuff a dem guh bow, mi seh dem nah hold nuh meddy
Long time mi ready, bun dung dreddie
Ay, mek mi jus' let dem know one more ting again

A big madda mouth lash-y
Nuh original, mi seh dem always a copy, say again
A big madda mouth dash-y
Couldn't Rastafari, dem a style as fassy, yo, again

[Outro]
Dreadie him nuh real, dreadie him a fake
Dreddie him lean, him neva come straight
Doh have nuh love, him only full a hate
All di wrong things a weh him pon perpetrate
And him never early, always late
Cyaan come stand up pon a Emmanuel gate
One thunder ball aguh tear off him face
Hail King Selassie, nuff a dem gone a space
