(Verse 1) I need some time Mi girlfriend say dem cut off the water School fee fi mi daughter Don’t beg, suh yo know shi naw go

I need some time, mi loyal girl seh shi naw go left mi But girl a fi how long, suppose things don’t change? Think bout that

(Verse 3) Society a tell like News media bring fi dem alliby Wa happen to the poor guy Weh Babylon style and a seh dead tonight Dawg mi nuh know why Cause if a Mister Chin son every door fly Eigler a get a fight Stop tek weh the goods dem red eye
