Nervous, but him tell himself him have sup'm fi prove
Wait โ him just ah wait fi dem bundle up like callaloo
But sup'm else ah gwaan weh him nuh know, him nuh have a clue

Him turn around and see him bredrin with a strap in hand
Ready fi guh buss it inna him face and mek a funeral
Ricky friend seh, "Boy, yuh shoulda know yuh nuh fi diss di Don"
Just through Ricky neva know dem done mek a plan
Get him fi buy some gun and mek sure seh di army strong
And if him nah cooperate, tek weh everything weh dem have
Before Ricky coulda get fi talk, all him hear ahโ
(Ricky pan di gron' ah gap)
Nah feel nuh pain, becah him body still deh inna shock
Ah choke inna him owna blood
Slowly him eye ah lock
Ricky gone afta him friend, shot him with him owna strap
