Lyrics

Who's not with this program must be a soft
Remember, little children, Shabba different
Watch this
Put your heart and your mind in the man who ram the dance hall (bim)
Put your heart and your mind in the man who collect the Grammy (little children)
Take a look at yourself and look at all the other dance hall MC's (history)
Put your heart and your mind in the man who collect the Grammy
Wha' me say?
Dance hall ram in city, ram over town
Come make we pack it up, woman and pull it up, a man
Girls like dirt and woman like sand
Watch the woman them, ah, rub-a-dub 'pon the man
I am the ultimate one, the chosen one
DJ try fi test will be the frozen one
Direct Shabba from the palm of him hand
Give me a microphone and then me ram jam session
Ah, Jamaica mi born, but to Africa me belong
Proud progressive, ghetto youth, man
Put your heart and your mind in the man who ram the dance hall (people)
Put your heart and your mind in the man who collect the Grammy
Take a look at yourself and look at all the other dance hall MC's (Shabba different)
Put your heart and your mind in the man who collect the Grammy
Ah, what mi say
Woman me love how you stay, I love how you stand
The figure weh you have me say that mad man
Your education and your occupation
A decent woman, yes, you stand
Cool like a milk and you smooth like silver
Brother Churpes him no stop mad over your build
Anytime you walk, yes, the whole place still, girl
Put your heart and your mind in the man who ram the dance hall (woman)
Put your heart and your mind in the man who collect the Grammy (lady)
Take a look at yourself and look at all the other dance hall MC's (history)
Put your heart and your mind in the man who collect the Grammy
Woman, tell them
Dance hall ram in city, ram over town
Come make we pack it up a woman and pull it up a man
Girls like dirt and woman like sand
Woman me say you fi take care of your man
Every woman have a man weh them must lean 'pon
Man, you fi wave your romantic wand
So your woman don't look 'pon a man
When you ah work ah your yard, cho, and I do the jam, huh
Put your heart and your mind in the man who ram the dance hall (wicked)
Put your heart and your mind in the man who collect the Grammy (people)
Take a look at yourself and look at all the other dance hall MC's (history)
Put your heart and your mind in the man who collect the Grammy
What Shabba Ranks say?
Miami girl, them looking hot
Jump around your bed, no hitch up on block
London girl, yes them looking trash
Hairstyle ready, expensive frock
Jamaican girl, hair class and art
Fat at the front and them cock at the back
Respect the education in the head-top
Canadian girl, hotter than hot
I respect them, they did not hitch up on block, true
Put your heart and your mind in the man who ram the dance hall (woman)
Put your heart and your mind in the man who collect the Grammy
What Shabba Ranks say
I am the ultimate one, the chosen one
(Heart) DJ try fi test will be the frozen one
(Heart) God direct Shabba from the palm of him hand
(Heart) give me a microphone and then me ram dance session
Jamaica me born but to Africa me belong
Proud progressive youth man
Man, man, we lay down the foundation of the music
Father U-Roy or the King Stitch
The youth love the dance hall, so if you can buy the ticket
Then old man fi dally
And work and pray and wish you deh in this
Now me ah thrill don't grudge me
Put your heart and your mind in the man who ram the dance hall (yeah, the big man)
Put your heart and your mind in the man who collect the Grammy (what's Shaba difference?)
Take a look at yourself and look at all the other dance hall MC's (a difference)
Put your heart and your mind in the man who collect the Grammy
You know, say if ah town dance hall, it haffi ram
Seaview dance hall, it haffi ram
Ram it up ah woman and pull it up ah man
Portmore dance hall, it haffi ram
Where them deh when we ah ram dance session
