Trodin' through the jungle with my mic in my hand
Nice up the dance, rippin' it from jam to jam
When I got to kickin' the flavor, uh-huh
I found my way back home, eh-eh, eh-eh, uh-huh
Alright, me say!
Me haffi give thanks from here to here
To the people and the Father whom me hold dear
The Almighty give me the strength and knowledge fi persevere
That's why me no care and to Him me draw near
Inna me times of joy and deepest despair
Me say me do even start to pray yet, but Father hear
Him brighten my career, make it crystal clear
Say me have a job a do fi the people out there
You no hear them a cheer?
Trodin' through the jungle with my mic in my hand
Nice up the dance, rippin' it from jam to jam
When I got to kickin' the flavor, uh-huh
Quick, fast, I found my ass back home, eh-eh, eh-eh, uh-huh
History, no mystery
Sheridan, Creston, Walton, Davis and South Bronx
1980, That is when I began
Billin' up vibes wherever I go
You find say that a pure bad boys I know
From the ghettos of Kingston to way out a East
Some still there, yeah, some rest in peace
A dem give me the vibes to make the good rhyme so
Me a make you know, dedicated to all who watch me grow

Me name it off and on again and did watch it bloom
While me murder everything inna Billpo Ballroom
By now, me name a ring, again, a likkle respect
Again, a rep but to go, me have a long way yet

But 'fraid fi talk true, dem no waan fi dead next

Nice up the dance, rippin' it from jam to jam, eh-eh, eh-eh
When I got to kickin' the flavor, uh-huh
Quick, fast, I found my ass back home, eh-eh, eh-eh, uh-huh
Me bicycle, me first form of transportation
No where was too far, no journey too long

All 'bout a Bronx, even Mount Vernon
Now hear the question asked by a madman
Make you no ride from Miami, go straight to Jam One?
To this, me have a valid explanation
You see, the bridge and the toll still under construction
So me...

Nice up the dance, rippin' it from jam to jam
