A cop light runner, they wanna but can’t find him |
| [01:27.09] |
Me and Hovi Hov, out on the same island |
| [01:30.12] |
Took the whip to the other side of Jamaica |

Blowin’ reefers, all the teachers do is ride a ***** |

It’s Judgment Day, I’m here to give you ***** ****** hell |
| [03:33.53] |
And some food for thought, I can serve a plate |
| [03:36.30] |
With dessert to take, with dessert to take |

Yeah, I heard the hate, but the wait is ******’ over |
| [03:42.15] |
It’s like I’m ******’ Oprah, well worth the wait |

Maybe over your head, I’m ahead of my time |
