Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Warning, warning, warning!
To all those who have been yawning
Kids from foreign coming down inna the early morning
This is di don gorgon weh dem call, Edley
Mr. Notch who the girls dem watch deh pon di side a me
Pon de remix tape
[Verse 2]
Di wickedest time, me and mi girl a come
Born Jamericans, tear di place down
Nah put it down, dang
Papa make it 'tand deh, yeah
Sometimes coffee, sometimes tea
You know say Born Jamericans a celebrity
We ram dance a town, and inna di country, whoa, yeah
Look at di girls dem nice and sweet
Di glimmity-glammity weh deh underneath
Me want it everyday, yeah
Not to mention di week
[Verse 3]
Say reggae music run di world, me respect that
'Cause every time we touch the mic dem screaming, "Boom Shak-A-Tack"
Crowd of massive catch the vibes, we're unorthodox
This is a lesson, definition of the boom-shak-a-tack
[Verse 4]
No batty rider, tear off, nuh gyal pickney get hot
But bwoy a beat down di wall, selectah wheel up that
Dis shine a gi' you di verbs which is the action words
Drop down inna my roughneck style, fi make the sound boys observe
My mon would never run away inna di heart of battle
I 'round up di girls dem, like cowboy round up cattle
From line one, verse two, mi just a show off me skill
And I would never sell mi soul for a thousand dollar bill
[Verse 5]
Reggae music run di world, me respect that
'Cause every time we touch the mic dem screaming, "Boom Shak-A-Tack"
Crowd a massive catch the vibes, we're unorthodox
This is a lesson, definition of the boom-shak-a-tack
[Verse 6]
Di wickedest time, me and mi girl a come
Born Jamericans, tear di place down
Nah put it down, dang
Papa make it 'tand deh, yeah
Look at di girls dem nice and sweet
Di glimmity-glammity weh deh underneath
Me want it everyday, yeah
Not to mention di week
[Verse 7]
Physical fit is the kid, when me start to release
Me grab di microphone and chat fi make me dollars increase
Sexy girls to the front, come he's a healthy young man
And me will surely gi' you di remedy one by one
Born Jamericans is di crew from the streets of Washington
Where nuff people smoke crack and dread fire di M1
Mi legalize, mi nah despise, di air is rugged and rough
Some DJs open up their mouth, it's like a damn trash truck
[Verse 8]
But, reggae music run di world, me respect that
'Cause every time we touch the mic dem screaming, "Boom Shak-A-Tack"
Crowd of massive catch the vibes, we're unorthodox
This is a lesson, definition of the boom-shak-a-tack
[Verse 9]
Woah, check dis out pon de remix
[Verse 10]
A just di kids from foreign, how dem a go manage?
9 Inches of lead, out to do damage
The Ed' pon di microphone, ya have fi respect that
Di lesson, definition, of di boom-shak-a-tack
Di kid pon di microphone, mi nah lay it down flat
Entertainment a form of enjoyment
A lyrical technician, that is my employment
Kids from foreign, how dem a go manage?
Boom shak-a-tack
Natural fact
It's Ed' pon di microphone, me nah lay it down flat
Boom shak-a-tack
Natural fact
It's Ed' pon di microphone, me nah lay it down flat, hit it
[Verse 11]
Sayonara, amigo (A so di kids dem mash it up)
We'll see you tomorrow (Ramp, ramp)
Sayonara, amigo
We kill a sound boy for a few more pesos (Buh-ringa-ding-ding)
Sayonara, amigo
You know say Born Jamericans, we're off to El Paso
Sayonara, amigo
This is a lesson, definiton of di Boom shak-a-tack
