Lyrics

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Man to man is so unjust, children
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ya don't know who to trust
Your worst enemy could be your best friend
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And your best friend, your worst enemy
Some will eat and drink with you
(Some will eat and drink with you)
Then behind them su-su pon you
(Then behind them su-su pon you)
Only your friend know your secrets
So only he could reveal it
(He could reveal it)
And who the cap fit, let them wear it
(Cap fit, let them wear it)
Who the cap fit, let them wear it
(Who the cap fit, let them wear it)
Said I throw mi corn
(Throw mi corn)
Mi nuh call no fowl
(Mi nuh call no fowl)
I saying, "Kuk-kuk-kuk"
(Kuk-kuk-kuk)
"Cluck-cluck-cluck"
(Cluck-cluck-cluck)
Hey
Some will hate you
Pretend they love you now
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Then behind they try to eliminate you
But who Jah bless, no one curse
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Thank God, we're past the worse
Hypocrites and parasites
(Hypocrites and parasites)
Will come up and take a bite
(Will come up and take a bite)
And if your night should turn to day
A lot of people, would run away
And who the stock fit, let them
(Stock fit, let them wear it)
Who the
(Who the cap fit)
Let them
(Let them wear it)
I think I gonna throw mi corn
(Throw mi corn)
I think I gonna call no fowl
(Call no fowl)
I think I gonna "Kuk-kuk-kuk", Hmm yeah-yeah
(Kuk-kuk-kuk)
"Cluck-cluck-cluck"
(Cluck-cluck-cluck)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Some will eat and drink with you
(Some will eat and drink with you)
Then behind them su-su pon you, yeah
(Then behind them su-su pon you)
And if your night should turn to day now
A lot of people will run away
(People, would run away)
And who the cap fit, let them wear it
(Cap fit, let them wear it)
Who the cap fit, let them wear it
(Who the cap fit, let them wear it)
Throw mi corn
(Throw mi corn)
Mi nuh call no fowl
(Mi nuh call no fowl)
I banging, "Kuk-kuk-kuk"
(Kuk-kuk-kuk)
"Cluck-cluck-cluck"
(Cluck-cluck-cluck)
A bag a, "Kuk-kuk-kuk"
(Kuk-kuk-kuk)
"Cluck-cluck-cluck"
(Cluck-cluck-cluck)
Throw mi corn
(Kuk-kuk-kuk)
Mi nuh call no fowl
(Cluck-cluck-cluck)
