Lyrics:

[Intro]
Kartel inna di '80's
Kartel inna di '90's

Di bwoy gyal walk out and a cry
She say, the guy nah lift her up high
She say, a bere dry food him a buy
And mi know say she nah tell lie

[Verse 1]
This a one yah a the truth
Mi nuh matter if mi done talk, and them waan shoot
All worker-nuff-woman, strengthen up root
Eat a whole heap a vegetable
Eat a whole heap a fruit
Stop down a the man with the doctor fish soup
Check out the man weh a boil the good root
Gyal them a come in a bundle and group
Come a pop off mi belt, and tear off mi loop
And cry fi the dignitary dem and di doops
If a 12 furlong, you know seh a soup
Wuking up the line, and strengthen up loop
48, 14, a time fi the dough
Under steam fish, and good okra soup
Any gyal weh me get haffi gi' mi gun salute
And a talk say, how she waan couple youth
And a talk say, how the youth them cute
And a talk say, how she love mi fi true

[Hook]
Mi never, mi never yet short a breath
Mi never, mi never yet short a breath
Mi never, mi never yet short a breath
She say, mi badder than a pack a cigarette
Wha' you say?
Badder than a pack a cigarette
She say, mi badder than a pack a cigarette
Mi never, mi never yet short a breath
She say, mi badder than a-

[Verse 2]
This a one yah a the fact
Gyal seh, 'Addi not even sun so hot'
'Not even fire weh you put pon the pot'
'Not even that cyaa follow weh you got'
We a play cricket, and a mi have the bat
You a the rabbit, and a me have carrot
Kim see the snake and a bawl out, 'wha' that?'
Her head get dizzy, she a see polkadot
All you a bawl, you waan fi get that
Sumn haffi fly 'way, like a rat bat
All if you waan fly 'way like parrot
Baby your mawga, but your still fat
Attitude up deh, girl your thing shot
Although mi a bleach, you know the thing black
Tic it and toc, you bruk alarm clock
Climb pon the mountain, gyal you nah drop
You fi pull up the love, mi want it from top

[Hook]
Mi never, mi never yet short a breath
Mi never, mi never yet short a breath
Mi never, mi never yet short a breath
She say, mi badder than a pack a cigarette
Wha' you seh?
Badder than a pack a cigarette
She say, mi badder than a pack a cigarette
Mi never, mi never yet short a breath
She say, mi badder than a-

All work a nuff woman strengthen up root

Stop down a the man wid the doctor fish soup
Check out the man weh a boil the good root

Any gyal weh mi get haffi give mi gun salute
