[Intro:]
Shabba Ranking pon Big Ship riddim
Di Genius, right now mi nuh mad bout it but mi rrrrr ere
Right now mi ignorant bout it but mi rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
How can you not rate who come before you
You a gwaan like a you come bout yah come come mek music big.
Yet dem and those, who suppose to respect the elders nuh deh yah
And a gwaan like a you a deh man
A nuh you a di man, a God a di man, ereerrrr

[Chorus:]
None a dem nuh bad like Shabba Ranking
Nuh nuh nuh nuh, none a dem none a dem
None a dem nuh tuff like the Ranking
Nuh nuh nuh nuh, none a dem none a dem
Stop dah one deh and ask him
If him nuh imitate the great Shabba Ranking
Unno can stop dah one deh and ask him
If him nuh imitate the great Shabba Ranking

[Verse 1:]
Si di fool deh ask him, if him nuh imitate di Ranking
The vibes I bring di big songs that I sing
Mus inspire and motivate him
Big vibes banking pon Big Ship riddim
From compound back to gully banking
Shabba Ranks a di top a top ranking
So unno no badda hide di truth
Jus put the facts in, di gong a H2O I'm the big oxygen.
Dancehall is like how mi pick the jewels and gem
Tell dem sa mi supply di word fi di him
Don't get it twisted, a who a fool him
Thirty years deep and still a rollin

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
Cause dem a brag and boast and is a shame
And dem nuh added up to what dem proclaim
With dem likkle house, dem likkle car, dem likkle chain, dem baby name
And none a dem nuh bad dan Baby Wayne
Wid him aroun now mi mad mi inhumain
How many more can dis man explain
Dat you cannot treat dem and Shabba Ranks di same
Cause when it comes to music, it's not fun and game.
How unno fi gwaan like unno whaa ignore mi
And a boost up who don't come before mi
Tek it from the foundation
Build it a couple of story, Czechoslovakia adore mi
God get the higher praise and all a di glory
Respect di foundation who come before mi
Colonel Josey [Wales], Brigadier Jerry, Yellow Man to dis man is legendary... eereerr

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Yet dem and those, who suppose to respect the elders nuh deh yah
And a gwaan like a you a deh man
A nuh you a di man, a God a di man, ereerrrr

[Chorus]
