LYRICSVerse 1
Just leave

And I doh want, interference, from

My focus is, on mas, so gimme room,

Leh -me play meh mas when the music

And trying to blow meh mind.
You jamin’ on meh behind.

Verse 2
Well boy,

She start to stomp and scream.
She grab ah stick, and she hit him,

She finger up, he nose, she try to
tear, he clothes.
But he hold on and he won’t leh she
go.
She try to plead but in vain.
She say, man, you really insane.
She complain to the band-leader
That too was all in vain.
He come back jamin’ again.
And she say:
Chorus
