As a likkle yout, them used to tell mi that mi bad

Primary school, the teachers tell mi that mi bad

Secondary school, you know them tell mi that mi bad

Mi never listen cuh you know say that mi bad

When me deya road, mi mother tell mi "find a job"

Pick up microphone and with the talents weh mi have

Haffi show respect for Super Cat and Ninjaman

Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, Beenie Man

Dem set the ting, so you haffi understand

When mi kill a soundboy inna competition

Mi nuh ramp, wi no skin when microphone inna me hand

Get up, stand up and rock to the Original Dan

[Break]

Seh wah?

As we move

[Verse 2: Flowdan]

To the Original Dan

Born and mi grow inna East London

Bow is E3, E10 are Leyton

Dem dere roads is where I got all of my education

Farda never deya in di day ah Brixton

Mumzy was the boss, she grew me up into a man

Real ghetto living so she always had a plan

That's why mi bad and dat mi get fi understand

[Chorus: Flowdan]

Mi never listen cuh you know say that mi bad

Ah dis mi get fi understand

When you live inna di ghetto, haffi be your own dan

Don't mek nobody influence your decisions

Haffi look out for the babylon and dem dutty plan

Black bandana when you sight level gang

East, West, North, South, all over London

Weed man ah buy, we put money inna hand

Ounce, man ah pay di full 28 grams

[Chorus: Flowdan]
