Hit me with your best shot girl 
'Cause I'm a dread from around the world 
One world that's my aim 
Bad boys and we don't play games 

Howdy Partner, ha ha, ting ting 
What more appropriate true for Speech to release to and 
sing 
A tune about da language that's distinguishable to some 
At the first lick to the low bass line heavy island 
drums 
Pentacostel Tongues, language indescribable unpleasant 
to the ears 
That is unless you're inheritably tribal 
Survival is the key to this here dialect family 
It's the language that I speak word out to peeps

I know I talk strange but my words are true 
From the land of Jah I come to you 
Look in my eyes can't you see life 
In my world all things are real 

So jack it up, bring it back, start it again 
Let's get together can't we be just friends 
So jack it up, bring it back, start it again 
Let's get together can't we be just friends

Open me up, Lord, open me up 
Split my rib cage wide so I can vocally erupt 
Boooom, the circle dat I hang wit da inner wit 
vibrations of pure love 
Dat hit ya smack dab in ya center
