Nuff a them no got no love in a them, how you do it?

Verse 1:

Nuff boy turn your friend just through cash
Laugh and a pretend then a stab you in a di back
Well me humble, a wait
Meekly a watch into the fire

You run gone go dig you pit and set up them trap
Obeah wolf a come under the lock
So King Emmanuel put on me turban wrap
So them yah time Babylon you must get lash
Like a tomato you must get splash
Them a chat bout me poor true me clothes full a patch
And through them pull a door and got a key to them lock
Well Babylon, Jesse Christ him black

Chorus
Dem don't got no love ina dem heart and me see it

Verse 2:
Find out the devil send them fi me hang them
Well Babylon you lose cause I nah pretend
Well a who go bend them fi me come straight them

Tell me now a who go friend them fi me go shame them
With Selassie I free Emmanuel anthem
Well then a who go strength them

And if a no King Selassie you deh praise well the heathen a go rage

To no wicked I no subject did nah commit
Them only rob the poor then go bow to the rich

Cause everyday you devise some mischief
Now rude boy you ready cos things done sieve

Through nuff a push a door and got a key to a lock
