Lyrics
Man to man is so unjust, children (Ooh-ooh)
You don't know who to trust
Your worst enemy could be your best friend (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 (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
Who the cap fit, let them wear it
Said I throw me corn (Throw me corn)
Me no call no fowl (Me no call no fowl)
I saying cook-cook-cook (Cook-cook-cook)
Cluck-cluck-cluck (Cluck-cluck-cluck)
Yeah, some will hate you
Pretend they love you now (Ooh-ooh)
Then behind they try to eliminate you
But who the Jah bless, no one curse (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 wear it
Who the stock fit let them wear it
And then I gonna throw me corn (Throw me corn)
And then I gonna call no fowl (Call no fowl)
And then a gonna Cook-cook-cook (Cook-cook-cook)
Cluck-cluck-cluck (Cluck-cluck-cluck)
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
(Then behind them su-su 'pon you)
And if your night should turn to day
A lot of people will run away
And who the cap fit, let them wear it
Who the cap fit, let them wear it
Throw me corn (Throw me corn)
Me no call no fowl (Me no call no fowl)
I saying cook-cook-cook (Cook-cook-cook)
Cluck-cluck-cluck (Cluck-cluck-cluck)
I gotta cook-cook-cook (Cook-cook-cook)
Cluck-cluck-cluck (Cluck-cluck-cluck)
