Well, life is good and that is unkind
So people cry and moan, and moan, and moan, and most time
Yeah!
Well gyal pickney, when a gyal come to you and say, "you and I mate"
And you know say a fi your man deh come down a fi her
Come look, you nuh fear no man, just kid him and say, "that's true"
Gyal pickney, watch this!
The other day dem thief your clothes and you sit down and a cry
Now a gyal take your man and him die, you waan die
See me pon the street and you waan ask me, "why?"
Look inna yourself and stop cry
I say that say, matey anuh good sittin'
When matey pass, all your mumma man missin'
Gyal, mi say, matey anuh good sittin'
When matey pass, whole heap a clothes
Matey all the button, make love fi nothing
All matey get up pick a stick and baton
Matey haffi hustle just fi act a kettle
Matey all a seek job, but dead down a Madden
Mate nuh have no trouble, woman she whistle
When the pickney born, all the pickney haffi raffle
Matey thief curtain, matey sell bottle
Matey go a jail, inna one day him a thief mutton
Gyal
Matey anuh good sittin'
When matey pass, all your mumma man missin'
Gyal, mi say, matey anuh good sittin'
When matey pass, whole heap a clothes
It's true I tell the lady dem fi love with care
Man a love dem mouth and nah do dem hair
Pure gator crepe and ballet dem a wear
While wife inna yard a judge L.A. gear
Nuff set suit, a whole heap of Nike Air
When matey inna meh knees full of ampere
Man no stop brutalize her career
Pure lovey dovey and beating everywhere
Again!
Matey anuh good sittin'
When matey pass, all your mumma man missin'
Gyal, mi say, matey anuh good sittin'
When matey pass, whole heap a clothes
Guess what!?
The other day dem thief your clothes and you sit down and a cry
Now a gyal take your man and him die, you waan die
See me pon the street and you waan ask me, "why?"
Look inna yourself and stop cry
Mi sing say, matey anuh good sittin'
When matey pass, all your mumma man missin'
Gyal, mi say, matey anuh good sittin'
When matey pass, whole heap a clothes
Matey all the button, make love fi nothing
All matey get up pick a stick and baton
Matey haffi hustle just fi act a kettle
Matey all a seek job, but dead down a Madden
Mate nuh have no trouble, woman she whistle
When the pickney born, all the pickney haffi raffle
Matey thief curtain, matey sell bottle
Matey go a jail, inna one day him a thief mutton
Gyal
Matey anuh good sittin'
When matey pass, all your mumma man missin'
Gyal, mi say, matey anuh good sittin'
When matey pass, whole heap a clothes
Gyal, you know say you're hot, body look fat
Anytime you go outta road you look trash
When man a see you, man no stop chat
Over your body man pop out him cash
Fiend it pon the riddim, mi heart nuff fi clap
But anytime mi see the gyal, she turn me inna idiot
Gyal, the other day dem thief your clothes and you sit down and a cry
Now a gyal take your man and him die, you waan die
See me pon the street and you waan ask me, "why?"
Look inna yourself and stop cry
Hear mi tell dem say, matey anuh good sittin'
When matey pass, all your mumma man missin'
Gyal, mi say, matey anuh good sittin'
When matey pass, whole heap a clothes
It's true I tell the gyal dem fi love with care
Man a love dem mouth and nah do dem hair
Pure gator crepe and ballet dem a wear
While wife inna yard a judge L.A. gear
Nuff set suit, a whole heap of Nike Air
When matey inna meh knees full of ampere
Man no stop brutalize her career
Pure lovey dovey and beating everywhere
Mi say!
