On me way a People's Club me pass through Victoria And through me a entertainer say no tax 'pon me window As me go throughthe lights the whole road take over And as me drive nearer could see clearer it was a Black Maria With six or seven plain clothes policer officers Them didn't look the type of policer me could give a fiver First thing that come into me head: Good thing me hide me ganja! Next thing that happen them a wave, in other words pull me over All me could a do is sigh and shrug me shoulder And as them approach me start wind down me window Me a go tell you how me answer........... Every question them fire..................
"Well,Wha wha wha what's your name then son?" My name Smiley Culture "Yeah, Where do you think you're coming from lad?" From seeing me mother "What's the registration number of the car then?" I can't remember "What you got in the boot then son?" A cassette recorder. Would you like to have a look? "Shut your bloody mouth. We ask. You answer Now take the keys out of the car and step out of the motor Me and my colleagues have got a few questions to ask ya You'll be on your way as soon as we get an answer
As me come out of the car me a think and me a wonder What police officers could want with Smiley Culture Ca' with them a search the interior But whatever them look for me hiding place superior But the way them a asearch me had to ask them what they a look for But me try handle them coarse. Them just handle me coarser Then one draw handcuff, Put him hand 'pon me shoulder And say: "We aint got time to waste, We don't think you have neither Just give us what we want - the real sensimania"

Me say: You can't do that ca' me name Smiley Culture "You what? Did you do that record Cockney Translator?" In the reggae charts number one was it's number "My kids love it and so does my mother! Tell you what I'll do . A favour for a favour Just sign your autograph on this piece of paper" Me cut him short and just draw out me Parker 'Pon the producer me just sign Smiley Culture Then never lie. Them never bother..... arrest me or take me ganja!
