“Who the Cap Fit” deals with the concepts of trust, friendship, and betrayal. Like many of Marley’s lyrical compositions, it is a sort of moral lesson or warning. In this case, the singer warns his listeners about enemies who pose as friends, only to later backstab you and reveal their true characte...
[Verse 1]
Man to man is so unjust, children
You don't know who to trust
Your worst enemy could be your best friend
And your best friend your worst enemy
[Pre-Chorus]
Some will eat and drink with you
Then behind them su-su 'pon you
Only your friend know your secrets
So only he could reveal it
[Chorus]
And who the cap fit, let them wear it
Who the cap fit, let them wear it
Said I throw me corn, me no call no fowl
I saying, "cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk"
[Verse 2]
Some will hate you, pretend they love you now
Then behind they try to eliminate you
But who Jah bless, no one curse
Thank God, we're past the worst
[Pre-Chorus]
Hypocrites and parasites
Will come up and take a bite
And if your night should turn to day
A lot of people would run away
[Chorus]
And who the stock fit let them wear it
Who the cap fit let them wear it
And then I gonna throw me corn
And then I gonna call no fowl
And then I gonna "cook-cook-cook"
Mmm, yeah, "cluk-cluk-cluk"
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
Some will eat and drink with you
Then behind them su-su 'pon you
And if night should turn to day, now
A lot of people would run away
[Chorus]
And who the cap fit, let them wear it
Who the cap fit, let them wear it
Throw me corn, me no call no fowl
I banging "cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk"
[Outro]
Throw me corn (cook-cook-cook)
Me call no fowl (cluk-cluk-cluk)
