Have mi pot and have mi foot, but wid yuh john inna yuh hand

Yuh can’t come lick mi down pon nuh highway session

Unnu better try just member 1971

And ah dem time deh run general election

Dem bigging up di youth, and then dem pushing up di don

Dem time dem give yuh house, dem time dem give yuh land

And ah just one minute after election

And come left it to di don

Dem talking up dem mouth but dem nuh know where mi stand

Unnu listen Junior Cat from him ah conscious man
