This is raggamuffin from di ghetto yutes camp
Anyway mi go mi seh mi must leff mi stamp
Marijuana weh mi smoke dem seh too ignorant
Just some odda day some puff a whole mek fi one
Then mi bredda Juju and mi idren name Don
Bounce and listen to Gong when mashin' up di traffic jam
Police pull mi ova talkin bout him smell bud
From mi look inna him face and know this bwoy have a plan
Juju touch mi pon my shoulda seh di bwoy a demon
First ting him waan to know is where dat smell is comin' from
Are you smokin' marijuana and I said yes I am
True him seh some man trance seh it cost a couple grand
Him seh mek mi see di license and registration
And where are yuh headed what's yuh occupation
Dun know seh raggamuffin nah go answer question
As is says on the paper read di information
From mi nah go tek nuh switch or interrogation
So book mi if yuh book mi carry dung a station
Mek mi show dem how we did it inna style and pattern

Pom, rom pa ba dom ba dom ba ba dom
Babba dom ba dabba dom ba dom ba ba dom

And if yuh check it out dat would be my station

And when mi plane land yuh nah go through nuh customs
This is raggamuffin inna different pattern
Mi nuh go inna nuh session unless it conk and ram
And from yuh see we face and wanna ask a question
And anywhere we go we haffi ra pa pom, pom

Pom, rom pa ba dom ba dom ba ba dom
Babba dom ba dabba dom ba dom ba ba dom

Yo some feel di wey yuh pass and dem a smile and blush
And true dem see some man a star dem could a have a light crush
Now him jealous now even twice as much (Hear dat)

Go tell dem natty dreadlocks no wear handcuff

Not Guilty!

Hey seh yuh a di herbsman, and mi a di farmer

To kill every herb seed dat is there wish
Mek a violation all because a one spliff
Di AC mek mi high when a sweat start drip
Cough mi nuh illy cau mi know mi nuh sick

Spliff inna mi hand mi have mi ting pon mi hip
Move dem mek di rudebwoy flash it and dash it

Fools they crush and mi seh eediat panic
Spliff deh inna mi hand man a move like bionic
Go deh Buju Banton wid a musical gift
Ragga muffin pass di chalice and dash mi and spliff and just
