It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation…

Man we born with that

Dem a copy cat

Dem like the fruits of a tree weh fall down to the dirt and they

Gone in a day just some food now fi the bird, so we

Roots of the tree trunk chop but we nuh hurt 

Under the Earth

Deep under ground where the rebel dem prefer

Down there inna the shadows where the wisdom we discern

Down in the darkness still water quench we thirst

Under the Earth

I was too rough fi the reggae scene

Way too wild fi the dub scene

So we had to go create we own scene

See what I mean, hear what I mean

Nowadays you know we’re tired of the scene

Same old lyrics like a broken machine

Same old riddim so we do we own ting

Hear what I mean

Dem a copy Cat

We nuh inna dat

We are the roots of the tree

Man we born with that

Dem a copy cat

We nuh inna dat

Dem a copy Cat

This ah no copy and no paste and no insert

This ah no post fi no likes and no girl

We come disrupt and agitate over the world  

Over the world 

They criticize we but this sound they never heard

They come and grudge we cause they can’t  decipher verses 

They steady envy cause we different from the herd

We come in first and never third… Haile Selassie I the First

Rastafari won’t be deterred never deterred

You see the laurels that they get is undeserved 

No imitation now the rebel den emerge

Shifta emerge

Dem a copy cat

We nuh inna dat

Trim you then she beat til you beg her non stop

Running up their mouth while Rasta power dem swell

Burning out the evil and the duppy dem spell

Most of them a judas and delilah jezebel

Iman foretell they will spin around like carousel

Blame I for your weakness while you move like infidel

You never did love His Majesty

Your children tired of the fuckery 

Your woman bare harlot wanna breed for we

So we had to use we authority

Bun them out daily til they bow to we

Apologize and work for eternity

Underneath the banner of His Majesty

Ring up we name and you will see

We machine dem oil and dem glistening

We don't really talk bullet conquering

We dust them off like insect when dem close to we

You no really work so you’re hungry

You no really care about your family

All you really do is study we

But I'm no battybwoy man we don’t study

The whole ah dem a fassyhole

Dem a fassy, yeah

From long time Jah neglect dem

Whole ah dem a fassyhole

From long time Jah reject dem

From long time Jah reject dem
