[Chorus]
Sipple it dung dung, sipple it dung dung
(Slippery down down, Slippery down down)
It's a rudeboy town, it's Kingston town
Sipple it dung dung, sipple it dung dung
(Slippery down down, Slippery down down)
It's a rudeboy town, it's Kingston town
[Verse 1] Some man have nuh mannaz, still a try fi beg a ting (Some men don’t have manners but are still trying to beg something) If yuh nuh drop nuh green, a strait up diss singting (If you don’t drop any green, that’s a straight up diss) Sun a bun traffic, it's a slow riddim (Sun is buring traffic, it’s a slow riddim) JCF a move ruff, dem buss di M16 (JCF is moving rough, they are firing the M16 ) Sum man a drive up an dung, dem have di latest ting (Some men are driving up and down, they have the latest thing) Machine fit inna dem jeans, a show off girls and bling (Machine fitted in their jeans, they are showing off for girls and bling) Smell of marijuana 'round di corner dem juggling (Smell of marijuana, they are selling it around the corner) One mad man get 'im food straight outta di garbage bin, hey (A homeless man gets his food straight out the garbage bin)
