[Intro]
Nowdays them a braid, twist and them a plot
I and I natty are dreadlocks
Nowdays them a braid, twist and them a plot
I and I natty are dreadlocks

[Refrain]
Remember way back when Rasta had no friend
When he was down in his luck and couldn't find a buck
Babylon and his friends, there ain't no end I and I a penitentiary

[Chorus]
Bad Boy, them a run things (Yeah)
I went to Jamdown and over foreign
Bad Boy have fi run things here
A nuff bad man live in a foreign

[Verse 1]
Shot a Glock over in a Matches Lane
Grandmama all already pain
Trying to get Johnny one visa
Send him at foreign, life would be easier
Down the lane fire one pop
Now in a foreign, fire big Glock
Left from York, you call him exportee
Now him return, you call him deportee
[Chorus]
Bad Boy, them a run things here
A nuff bad man live in a foreign
Bad Boy have fi run things here
Nuff bad man live in a foreign

[Verse 2]
Talk burn when elementary
No body an done at Casa Boboli
But in the ghetto wish Brooklyn New York
You can't trust shadow in the dark
So you see we juggling skills
I set up roots in a Cypress Hills

[Chorus]
Bad Boy, them a run things here
Whether Jamdown or in a foreign
Bad Boy have fi run things here
Nuff bad man live in a foreign

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Back in the days this was like a ghost town
And every day just another shot down
Eighteen God, Cypress pon lock
Before the n***a man a jiggle on the block
So you see we juggling skills
We set up roots in a Cypress Hills
Left from York as an exportee
Now him return you'll be calling deportee
[Chorus]
Bad Boy have fi run things here
A nuff bad man live in a foreign
Bad Boy, them a run things deh
A nuff bad man live in a foreign

[Refrain]
Remember way back when when Rasta had no friends
When he was down and is luck and couldn't find a buck
Babylon and his friends, there ain't no end I and I a penitentiary

[Chorus]
Them a braid, them a twist, nuff of them a plot
And I an' I are natty dreadlocks
Them a braid, them a twist and nuff of them a plot
But I an' I are natty dreadlock

[Bridge]
Roots natty, roots natty-natty-natty
I an' I are natty dreadlock
Roots natty, roots natty-natty-natty
I an' I are natty dreadlock

[Chorus]
Them a braid, them a twist and nuff of them a plot
But I an' I are natty dreadlock
Them a braid, them a twist, nuff of them a plot
I an' I are natty dreadlock
[Outro]
Remember way back when when Rasta had no friends
When he was down and is luck and couldn't find a buck
