Ay, place ah move strange, watch how you walk to me
Look inna me face when you ah talk to me
Hands pon mi waist, might haffi draw fi me
Because me nah sit and wait pon di law

Place ah move strange, watch how you walk to me
Look inna me face when you ah talk to me
Hands pon mi waist, might haffi draw fi me
Because me nah sit and wait pon di law

Di place moving hot right' ya now, way it hot right 'ya now
Where di glock fire shot 'round di clock
You can't turn back hands of time fi reverse hollow point
Weh dem plot make you drop off di map
So yutes be wise, hear they blaming di music
They say that it's rooted in dancehall or trap
Well if that's di case then what's di excuse you will use
When good yutes get shoot by di cops
Yo, me haff iwonder wah coulda cause this
Di land wah we love just ah move so lawless
Yo ah couldn't hungry, how man ah starve
But find strength fi rob woman ah supermarket
When food deh country and it ripe fi harvest
Yo, I wonder what di sense is in all this, ay
And any man weh ah prey pon woman
Dem fi get line up mek we shoot di target

Place ah move strange, watch how you walk to me
Look inna me face when you ah talk to me
Hands pon mi waist, might haffi draw fi me
Because me nah sit and wait pon di law

Place ah move strange, watch how you walk to me
Look inna me face when you ah talk to me
Hands pon mi waist, might haffi draw fi me
Because me nah sit and wait pon di law, ay

And me seh put up unuh hand, agree one hundred percent
No, this nah make no sense, self defense, self defense
Know some might take offense to how time get so tense
Dem claim innocent, it depends, it depends
Woman put up unnuh hand if unnuh nah take no check
If unnuh nah take no threat, mek we raise intro tec
And select it, make a bwoy know if him touch him regret it
No 'fraid fi go wet it, dem nah go repress
How much haffi bleed, ah how much woman haffi dead?
Before you see seh something sick inna dem man deh head
Psychologically see seh dem inadequate
In actuality society it ah reflect
You think you own yuh woman, think seh ah yuh property
You and yuh dutty bredrin dem keep up atrocity
When we retaliate, we nah go need apology
We sisters under attack, this a calamity
Me hear some man ah seh dem rather rape than turn a gay
As if dem deh ting deh related in any way
You nuh see seh ah some sicko dem mentality?
Di patriarchy propagate all of dem fallacy
Even in di church di violation prevalent
Jehovah, you nuh witness, tell me that no relevant
Dem deh business cyaan' exist inna we regiment
Ah self defense and we no hesitant

Place ah move strange, watch how you walk to me
Look inna me face when you ah talk to me
Hands pon mi waist, might haffi draw fi me
Because me nah sit and wait pon di law

Place ah move strange, watch how you walk to me
Look inna me face when you ah talk to me
Hands pon mi waist, might haffi draw fi me
Because me nah sit and wait pon di law, ay
