Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was walkin' down the street
Concentratin' on truckin' right
I heard a dark voice beside of me
(Mhm)
And I looked round in a state of fright
I saw four faces, one mad
A brother from the gutter
They looked me up and down a bit
And turned to each other
[Verse 2]
I say
I don't like cricket
Oh no
I love it
I don't like cricket
No, no
I love it
Aye
Don't you walk through my words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk through my words
'Cause you ain't heard me out yet
[Verse 3]
Well, he looked down at my silver chain
He said I'll give you one dollar
I said you've got to be joking man
It was a present from me mother
He said, I want it, you got it I'll take it off your hands
And you'll be sorry, you crossed me
You'd better understand that
You're alone
A long way from home
[Verse 4]
And I say
I don't like reggae
No, no
I love it
Aye
I don't like reggae
I love it
Oh yeah
Don't you cramp me style
Don't you queer me pitch
Don't you walk through my words
'Cause you ain't heard me out yet
[Verse 5]
I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sippin' piña coladas
I heard a dark voice beside of me, say
Would you like something harder
She said I've got it you want it
My harvest is the best
And if you try it you'll like it
And wallow in a dread lock holiday
[Verse 6]
Dread lock holiday
Dread lock holiday
Dread lock holiday
[Verse 7]
I say
Don't like Jamaica
No, no
I love her
Aye
I don't like  Jamaica
No, no
I love her
Don't you walk through her words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk through her words
'Cause you ain't heard her out yet
[Verse 8]
I don't like cricket
Oh no
I love it
(Dreadlock holiday)
I don't like reggae
No, way
I love it
(Dreadlock holiday)
I don't like Jamaica
Aye
I love her
(Dreadlock holiday)
I don't like Tokyo
No, no
I love it
