Shabba Ranking pon big ship riddim
Di Genius, Right now mi nuh mad bout it but mi errrr ere
Right now mi ignorant bout it but mi ereeeeeeeee ere
How can you not rate who come before you

Yet dem and those, who suppose to respect the elders

And a gwaan like a you a deh man
A nuh you a di man, a god a di man, ereerrrrChorus
None a dem nuh bad like shabba Ranking

None a dem nuh tuff like the ranking

If him nuh imitate the great shabba ranking
Unno can stop dah one deh and asked him
If him nuh imitate the great shabba rankingVerse 1
Si di fool deh ask him, if him nuh imitake di ranking
The vibes i bring di big songs that i sing
Mus inspire and motivate him
Big vibes bouncing pon big ship riddim
From compond back to gully banking
Shabba ranks a di top a top ranking
So unno no badda hide di truth
Jus put the facts in, di gong a H2O a mi oxygen
Dancehall is like how mi pick the jewels and Gem
Tell dem sa mi supply di word fi di him
Don't get it twisted, a who a fool him
Thirty years deep and still a rollinChorus

Cause dem a bragg and boast and its a shameand dem nuh added up to what dem proclaim
with dem likkle house, dem likkle car, dem likke chain, dem baby name
And none a dem nuh bad like Baby Wayne
Wid him aroun now mi mad mi in-humain
How many more can dis man explain
Dat you cannot treat dem and shabba ranks di same
Cause when it comes to music, its not fun and game
How unno fi gwaan like unno whaa ignore mi
And a boosted up who don't come before mi
Tek it from the foundation
Bell it a couple of story, checkusavakiya adore mi
God get the higher praise and all a di glory
Respect di foundation who come before mi
Cornel Jose, Brigadary Jerry, Yellow man to di man is legendary..eereerrChorus

Unno can stop dah one deh and asked him
If him nuh imitate the great shabba rankingYet dem and those, who suppose to respect the elders nuh deh yah
And a gwaan like a you a deh man
A nuh you a di man, a god a di man, ereerrrrChorus
