Song Lyrics

Now dis one dedicated to the gyal
Dem wid di angel face and the devil heart
You know seh Ragamuffin Chaka Demus an' yute called Pliers
Come to deal wid your case
Step up my yute, hear dis

I know this little girl her name is Maxine
Her beauty is like a bunch of rose (betta know)
If I ever tell you 'bout Maxine
You woulda say I don't know what I know, but

Murder she wrote (for real, for real)

Watch 'ya now, it name

Dem deh kinda livin' cyaan' hold Chaka, follow me
A pretty face and bad character
Dem deh kinda livin' cyaan' hold Chaka

Yuh face it pretty but yuh character dirty
Gyal you just ah act too flirty flirty
You run to Tom, Dick, and also Harry
An' when you find yuh mistake
You talk 'bout yuh sorry, sorry, sorry, come now

Have her cruise di corner where she jooks an' where she jam

Make love wid di coolie, Chinese, white man and Indian
