Lyrics
Hot head
June ah go
Road war
Hey
Vice to the one called Big Gangzilla alongside Busy Signal
Dem fi know
Along, along, dem ah go long zong
Ooh wee
The dark side of Kingston Town, Kingston Town
No smile pon face, every man a wear frown
No smile
Fi a next man survive, one have to get throw down
A ina nyam you food, a greyhound
Know what I mean?
The dark side of Kingston Town, Kingston Town
Every man a fight fi wear the king's crown
And when the moon fall all you hear dogs a howl
A wild, wild west showdown
True men want to have it all
Them savage like a animal
Damage you fi collateral
You feel like unuh know
Say shotta never take sabbatical
Rise up all 40 cal
Tell them say a capital punishment in a the capital
Reading news articles, and nuff of them no article
Molecules and particles before I get biological
Although the land is tropical, the budget microscopical
Thug them in a the street, nah study nothing philosophical
Because them a war over turf like nothing else matters
Huh
Pity them don't know life has much more to offer
Huh
No benefits when you kill one another
Still walk away with nada
How one little place full of so many bother
No one to maintain the law nor the order
War when the father less them go turn father
Whoa
June ago
Big eyes give we pill without pain, road without
Train, work without pain, shotta we can't tame
Hear that
Nuff of them a work off a bad man name
Extortion, pressure in the shops and the lane
A what?
Drive by shot, a man got to run
Can't walk up the road fi check Auntie Lorna
Know what I mean?
Dog bunch a go pree pon the border
Them youth yah no hold no order
A man a prove pon them one another that a galang inna
Kingston Town, Kingston Town
No smile pon face, every man a wear frown
Fi a next man survive, one have to get throw down
A ina nyam you food, a greyhound
The dark side of Kingston Town, Kingston Town
Every man a fight fi wear the king's crown
And when the moon fall, all you hear dogs a howl
A wild, wild west showdown
Yeah, 'cause nuff of them youth yah nowadays
Them will be forever running from the law
Kingston no play thing, no keyboard nor guitar
Man will box the food out of your mouth before you could jaw
Then turn round and bust a shot inna your jaw
And if you're in Red Stripe, no look fi link a truck
A the ratty or the squaddy patrol a drive up
Man with weed a run and a hide, wanted man a mass up
Some a dash gun over wall, a scale fence and climb up
Up inna Kingston Town, Kingston Town
No smile pon face, every man a wear frown
Fi a next man survive, one have to get throw down
A ina nyam you food, a greyhound
The dark side of Kingston Town, Kingston Town
Every man a fight fi wear the king's crown
And when the moon fall, all you hear dogs a howl
A wild, wild west showdown
Bap, bap, bap
