“I Am The Upsetter” was Lee' Perry’s first recording working with Joe Gibbs after ending his partership with Coxsone Dodd.
Perry felt he was disrespected by Dodd, not given deserved credit for his work, and this song is a direct attack on his former collaborator.
I Am the Upsetter Lyrics
Why are you so gravelicious, yeah-he-yeah-hy
Why are you so covetous, yeah-he-yeah-hy
Everything you want for yourself
And you think of no one else
Why are you so red-eyed
Why can't you satisfy
You take people for fool, yeah-he-yeah-hy
And use them as a tool, yeah-he-yeah-hy
But I am the avenger
You'll never get away from me
I am the upsetter
Suffer, you're born to suffer
I told you once to run, yeah-he-yeah-hy
But you take it all for fun, yeah-he-yeah-hy
Now it will be rough
For you it will be tough
I promise you the right and the left
And there'll be the uppercut
I am the avenger
This is the upsetter
Suffer, you're born to suffer
You'll never get away from me
I am the avenger
You'll never get away from me
