Well Jerry at de mike come fe Demonstrate
Yes, Jerry at de mike me come fe Demonstrate
Me come fe show de crowd a people dat great is great
Right ya now Mr Jerry at go set tings straight
No MC test Jerry in a ATE
So listen dem ya styles I man originate
First of all me wan you know me na exaggerate
All pirate in de dance me would a evacuate
Is a whole leap a space I man accomodate
An a whole leap a gal I accumulate
Round de mile Jerry don’t need no associate
Me chat by meself me no combinate
Me study very hard because me want graduate
Up de MC ladder I man Essulate
To be a boss MC I’m a chief candidate
True me fascinate nor irritate and me originate
Round de classic Micro-centre dat is where me locate
Me no select no tune an Jerry don’t operate
Fe see me lift speaker – box you must fortunate
Cause asdedance down me gone home me gone go hibernate
Going home de other night me can’t remember de date
De early hours of de morning before people a wake
Bopsing down de road it was me worst mistake
Police come draw down pon me an a investigate
Him say “Hey son where you coming from don’t you know that it’s late
I’ve heard about you niggers and the trouble you create”
I said “I’m coming from a party and me going home straight
Me just stop a de shop to buy some cigarette an chocolate”
When me explain de situation him stop interrogate
Turn around jump in a im panda car an say “See you mate!”
Is a good ting me never cheeky or be obstinate
Or me could a end up visiting de damn magistrate
De house way me live in you know it must decorate
An de girl way me love ave to affectionate
Nem ya linda lyrics you must penetrate
So listen every word I man and quotate
True me talking very clear you no need fe translate
Cause when me riding pon de riddim me no mek no mistake
Gasst contagious disease I man vaccinate
An true me no wan catch a dose me no fornicate
De lyrics way me chat dem must varinte
Some time me chat itslow sometime me accelerate
Dem ya kinds style you must appreciate
Nuff gal come to me a congratulate
Dem say “Jerry your so good looking can I have you portrait”
I say “Yes of course my darling but you know you have to wait”
Well dais a something I man have to state
A trollop is a woman with a whole heap a weight
Don’t tell her to her face cause she will aggrovate
And if she sit down pon you you will suffocate
At de mile is nuff excitement I Jerry create
And you know that its not hard for me to exterminate
Any boy way come a dance an a duplicate
A style him get off a Saxon or a old yard tape
I say de lyrics way me chat dem must variate
An nuff people dem a say don’t me impertinate
Any gal way me like we must be intimate
But me only make love when me in private
