Mandem

Straight cruise we are do there
My mandem ma busy
My mandem dey easy
Mandem ma haahan, oh yeah, heee

My mandem ma fight for dem right like Nelson Mandela
My mandem ma still do the road 24 seven inna London a
Is my mandem ma, gun dem a rise up just like antennas
Oh, mandem ma, mandem ma, mandem ma, mandem ma

I see me on road with the man dem, don't know, don't know
Man se man, like he be in a phantom, don't know, don't know
Tell me what have I gone through
Couple man in jail, couple man still on a run too
And everything get outta control
Vespa pop, anytime dem a dem control

Mandem ma, bad man na black brothers
Skin wrap in a bandana
Roll up in a jeep, nightime wey ya crip
Lock up the road when dem man dem rage
Omo tell me, watch the freinds wey ya keep

... she dont know about me
Mama my men are out here in the streets
She ain't even got to worry about me

My mandem ma fight for dem right like Nelson Mandela
My mandem ma still do the road 24 seven inna London a
Is my mandem ma, gun dem a rise up just like antennas
Oh, mandem ma, mandem ma, mandem ma, mandem ma

Street loads of mandem ma smoking
Na the best we ya deal with
None of my mandem pon no ju thing
All of my mandem ma relate
Can't tell what dem mandem ma thinking
When dem mandem start drinking
Some of dem man dem chop out de band oo

Don't know, don't know
Couple man living a bike life, living by thirst
Free all dem mandem pon locked up
Some of dem mandem ...
This is for my younsters
Reckless, going bunkers
Tryna make a name for themselves out here
This is for my olders, stop manipulating youngers
Getting them to put in all the dirt work
God

My mandem ma fight for dem right like Nelson Mandela
My mandem ma still do the road 24 seven inna London a
Is my mandem ma, gun dem a rise up just like antennas
Oh, mandem ma, mandem ma, mandem ma, mandem ma

When dem mandem get stopped by police
Se dem mandem don't speak
Se na about the ginger ya gave me
Na dem mandem keep secret
If you're not from around here, you just can't relate
And if you never ever see it, you just might not believe it

My mandem ma fight for dem right like Nelson Mandela
My mandem ma still do the road 24 seven inna London a
