From in a the days of teller

A no just now a from then man a sheller
Ask any peanut and any soup seller
How long Dr Moses deh yah

Man a top ranking

From fire house to the gully banking
Many come and gone the doc still a do the damn thing
Father mi thank him
Caw mi still deh yah skanking
Mi waan some bwoy fi know one thing
Many work hard but it still only one king
(Verse 1)
Tell dem a long, long, time mi in a this
Before dem kill dirt’s man mi in a this
Before dem put Manley pon grand mi in a this
Before Bulby sight kick van mi in a this
Before Willy meet likkle mis mi in a this
Before Cranico get bonix mi in a this
Before yellow jaw bone test mi in a this
Before Ninjaman a run this mi in a this
Long before Super Cat fist down Benji
Before dem start keep Ram Jam a Denbi
Long before sting start keep in a Jam World
And before fish start fry over Pendi

Before out crew dem start bleaching wid amby
No sky larking orace amby

Long before Carleen a wear batty rider
Long before pinky link up wid spider
Before da big bike deh crash wid Tiger
And papasan a never christian neither
Before dem open the cosway wider
Dem time deh Conkerly yanky deh beside a
The days of vina long before siba
Long before Screechy Joe turn taxi driver
Before the two white girl in a the mini bus
Up town girl dem a wear mini first
Before nutsy in a the bus

Long before lieutenant Stitchy turn religious
From dem time deh mi know mi did haffi buss
Man step up pon the stage and the place haffi buss
Travel fox come run the streets but a bally first
First was a quaro
Now a 20’st happilous
(Repeat Chorus)
