One more body drop dung pon floor, I’ve seen it all before
Two fren a par shot fire skull bore, I’ve seen it all before
Prison an’ morgue cyah hol’ nuttin’ more I’ve seen it all before.

Some a tek up badness pon street eh, man been dere done dat
Screw face cyah frighten we yeah, man been dere done dat
An’ bare lip service when yuh see dem, badness nuh mek outa tuff chat

Some say dem hardcore, I’ve seen it all before,
One more body drop dung pon floor, I’ve seen it all before
Two fren a par shot fire skull bore, I’ve seen it all before
