W´en mi jus´ come to Landan toun 
Mi use to work pan di andahgroun 
But workin´ pan di andahgroun 
Y´u don´t get fi know your way around

Dere´s no runnin´ whey fram it 
 
Mi get a lickle jab in a bih ´otell 
An´ awftah a while, mi woz doin´ quite well 
Dem staat mi aaf as a dish-washah 
But w´en mi tek a stack, mi noh tun clack-watchah 
 
Inglan is a bitch 
Dere´s no escapin it 
Inglan is a bitch 
No baddah try fi hide fram it

Fus dem rab it wid dem big tax rackit 
Y´u haffi struggle fi mek en´s meet 
An´ w´en y´u goh a y´u bed y´u jus´ can´t sleep 
 
Inglan is a bitch 
Dere´s no escapin it 
Inglan is a bitch, fi true

Mi did strang like a mule, but bwoy, mi did fool 
Den awftah a while mi jus´ stap dhu ovahtime 
Den awftah a while mi jus´ phu dung mi tool

Well mi dhu day wok an´ mi dhu nite wok 
Mi dhu clean wok an´ mi dhu dutty wok 
Dem seh dat black man is very lazy 
But if y´u si how mi wok y´u woulda sey mi crazy

Yet still, dem mek mi redundant

My heart is pumping louder than a big bass drum, alright

You know what I want, baby.
