(Why Don't You) Do Right
You had plenty money, 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
You're sittin' there and wonderin' what it's all about
You ain't got no money, they will turn you out
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be a-wanderin' from door to door
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
Indian man love white skin girl with foreign accent
So I used to go abroad buy women in Tashkent
And I had about ten apartment pan rent
And New Delhi clientele always ready to spend
But now it’s gone – New Delhi pimp’s life again
Badang badang badang badang
I supply celebrities and VIP
I supply land shark and I supply MPs
The white girls I supply have them in a frenzy
Pockets full of Gandhi faces never run empty
But now it’s gone – New Delhi pimp’s life again
Badang badang badang badang
I fell for your jivin' and I took you in
Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Oh, get out of here and get me some money too

The Boy That Radiates That Charm
I’ve got a boy I’m sure that he’s the one
He’s a pretty little thing and he really goes for me
He’s got those two big sparkling eyes, heaven must have kissed them
He’s the boy that radiates that charm
Up in the morning just to make some money
When I draw my pay I give it all to him
Just to see his eyes light up, ooh its crazy
With the boy that radiates that charm
Late in the evening we light a cigarette
Filling up my glasses listening to my hi-fi set
Turn them bright lights way down low, ooh its crazy!
He’s the boy that radiates that charm
He’s the boy that radiates that charm
He’s the boy that radiates that charm

Vampire
Vampire, di whole a dem a murderer
Di whole a dem a vampire
Parasite dem have we under pressure
Nuff man lined up for the executions

On top of that nuff a dem in a extortion
Dem collect dem tax and oppress poor man
Dem take from autos and street vendor
But to the upper class they have a sweet temper
But to the lower class they have a hot temper
many people wind up dead in detention centre
In Kashmir man dead and nobody remember
North east man dead and nobody remember
Andhra man dead and nobody remember
they murder people and call it encounter
Vampire - the whole a them a vampire
The whole a them a murderer
Them have we under pressure
We see police hit the accelerator
They make nuff men go meet them maker
Guns and lathis that a body breaker
When it come to murder them a perpetrator
How come them never face no investigator
The whole a them a follow government order
Nuff youths get line up just fi get slaughter
They murder people and call it encounter
The whole a dem a vampire vampire
The whole a them a murderer murderer

Gunshot
Shot a shot dem, we shot a shot dem
Shot a shot dem, we shot a shot dem
Shot a shot dem, we shot a shot dem
One, don’t rump with the foundation
How long government a send CRPF battalion
How long Meda Patkar raise peaceful slogan
Dem time deh nobody give a damn
And now di gun dem bust, rougher than rough
Suffer in silence, news never cover you much
‘Cus dem love violence and now it’s in a newsflash
And prime minister a say, insurgency must crush
Propaganda on your TV screen
On the exterior they look so nice and clean
In Emporio I see them pose and preen
Wake up, wake up, things are not what they seem
Somebody pass me the M16
Somebody pass me the laser beam
Somebody pass me the gasoline
We’re gonna wipe ‘em out clean
I’m waiting for some change
It’s late, it’s late
Indiscriminate loot and plunder
Nuff IED dem a connect to the syringe plunger
Step pan it, it click and it rip man asunder
Type a thing we clap louder than thunder
Raise that sound boy
I’m waiting for some change; It’s late, It’s late
Dream crush, blood lust,
Heat dust, deep thrust
Big guns, bills funds
Breach trust, Blood runs
Raise

Rough and Mean

Rough ’n Mean
She want it rough, she want it mean
She want it rough, she want it mean
She don’t want it soft, she want it extreme
Plus, she never cook, she never clean
Chacka Demus and the Pliers have girl Maxine
The one Echo Minott talk about Arleen
Well Ska Vengers talk about Shaheen
So let me tell you bout the girl Shaheen
Her husband was a banker, she no like how him put it in
Everyday him gone a work about nine-fifteen
She call me pan the phone around nine-sixteen
She say Sultanate come over cuz the coast is clean
Jump in my beat up apple green Maruti esteem
Cruise through Delhi traffic it’s the same old scene
Now Shaheen lives in a housing scheme
So I watch for the neighbours and remain unseen
I’m a player, I’m rude, I need no excuse
I do what I choose, I’m tired of your ways
Knock down drunk stumbling down the hall,
Bumpin’ your head up against the wall
Chorus
Whiskey runnin’ down your chin,
I don’t even want to know where you been
I said back down, you better stay mute!
So I’m a player, I’m rude
I need no excuse, I do what I choose
I like it rough, I like it mean
I like ‘em tough, I like ‘em lean,
I like it rough I like it mean,
And I don’t cook and I don’t clean
First we pet her then we pamper
Then we drop it like an anchor
Have the lotion have the powder
She say she want it louder
Said she want the stuff
Bring out the hand-cuff
She say she want it mean, she want it rough
Always knock down drunk stumbling down the hall,
Bumpin’ your head against the wall
Whiskey runnin’ down your chin,
I don’t even want to know where you been,
I said back down, you better stay mute
I’m not the one rolling with Russian prostitutes
At least I don’t pursue the things you pursue
It’s the way that you act makes me break the rules
I say back down!

I Put A Spell On You
I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine
Oh you better stop the things that you do
Oh you better watch out
I ain’t gonna take none of your fooling around
I ain’t gonna take none of your putting me down
I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine…you’re mine
You better stop the things that you do
Oh you better watch out
I ain’t gonna take none of your fooling around
I ain’t gonna take none of your putting me down
I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine…you’re mine

Mr Big Stuff
Mr.Big stuff, tell me, who do you think you are?
Mr.Big stuff, you're never gonna get my love
Not because you wear
All those fancy clothes (oh yeah)
And have a big fine car
Oh yes you do now
Do you think I can't afford
To give you my love?
You think you're higher,
Than every star above
Mr.Big stuff, who do you think you are?
Mr.Big stuff, you're never gonna get my love
Now I know all the girls
I've seen you with
I know you broke their hearts
And ate them up bit by bit
You made them cry,
Many poor girls cry
When they trying to keep you happy,
They just trying to keep you satisfied
Mr. Big stuff, who do you think you are?
Mr. Big stuff, you're never gonna get my love
See them down in Kookie too much cocaine dem snort
I see dem down in Lap dance to the top of the charts
Well Ska Vengers ago bust dem apart
Well Ska Vengers ago bust dem apart
Who dem a think dem are – dem drive in big fat car?
Who dem a think dem are dem smoke big fat cigar?
Fassy hole we could just rob dem after dark
Well Ska Vengers a-go bust dem apart
Dem snort coke we make ganja spliff spark
Dem run the city we run the side walk
We keep it real the whole a dem just skylark
We keep it real the whole a dem a skylark
Mr.Bigstuff, who do you think you are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love
Not because you wear
All those fancy clothes
And have a big fine car
Oh yes you do now
Do you think I can't afford
To give you my love
You think you're higher,
Than every star above
Mr.Bigstuff, tell me, who do you think you are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love
Mr.Bigstuff, tell me, who do you think you are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love

Rudeboy Skank
Gyal , she dont want the bankerboy she want the criminal
She don’t want no I.I.T professional
Want the rudeboy, gyal she want the animal, she want the animal
Nah follow dem deh fashion, dem fashion we nah follow
Have me own image, dem deh image we nah borrow
Babylon a try come mek we inside hollow
Dem try come mek we inside hollow
So me say gyal, she don’t want the bankerboy
She want the criminal
So then I can love you
And all of me can attend each kiss
No low fraction, of my commonly self
Will be out shopping somewhere else
I love the type of girls who don’t get impressed by money spenders
Nuff men come pose and profile but dem a pretender
Devastate dem just like September type passengers
One thing rudeboy shoulda remember
Remember that gyal, she don’t want di bankerboy she want di criminal
She don’t want no IIT professional
Want the rudeboy gyal she want the animal
So then I can love you
And all of me can attend each kiss
No low fraction of my commonly self
Will be out shopping somewhere else
I didn’t mean to leave you, in front of the TV
Kissing the noose in the side of an alley
Giving up the ghost to a hole in the wall
Paying penance to the most golden of all
Holding a tube of toothpaste, smiling in a field
Gives credit to the way you hold me here
Feeling all happy, all toothless and loose
Bathing my hands and kissing the noose
