No gyal can tell me 'bout my mother
16 Shot, we go longer than a ladder
Dem nuh fi talk 'bout the real don dada
Put body inna pot dem a bun like grabba
No boy can diss me or my mother
Round here ain't safe, everybody need armour
16 Shot, we go shotta any bluddah
Rah-ta, rah-ta
Ka-kah, ka-kah, ka-kah
Rah-ka-ka-ka-ka-rahh!

Yo couldn't be bothered than a *kingston-eed
Diss my mother then your skin start bleed
So don't bother mess with my mommy
With my mommy, with my mommy
Baby, tink you bad, say ya badder than she
If dog a-go bark, long time dem doh eat
Rap on, pop off, make you move like freak
They say dem a gangsta, but so is mommy

They gon' put hands on a chick
They gon' put hands on her
Eyes watchin' when I comin' through the door
What I'ma do, they ain't prepared for

No gyal can tell me 'bout my mother
16 Shot, we go longer than a ladder
Dem nuh fi talk 'bout the real don dada
Put body inna pot dem a bun like grabba
No boy can diss me or my mother
Round here ain't safe, everybody need armour
16 Shot, we go shotta any bluddah
Rah-ta, rah-ta
Ka-kah, ka-kah, ka-kah
Rah-ka-ka-ka-ka-rahh!

(you couldn't be madder) ? than bryant, kobe
Diss my mother then your lip won't speak
So don't bother mess with my mommy
With my mommy, with my mommy
Jah really think you bad
Say you badder than me
If things a-go start tonight, you won't sleep
Pop on, cut off, make ya look like creep
Dem say dem a bad gyal, but gyal dem nuh be

They gon' put hands on a chick
They gon' put hands on her
Eyes watchin' when I comin' through the door
What I'ma do, they ain't prepared for

No gyal can tell me 'bout my mother
16 Shot, we go longer than a ladder
Dem nuh fi talk 'bout the real don dada
Put body inna pot dem a bun like grabba
No boy can diss me or my mother
Round here ain't safe, everybody need armour
16 Shot, we go shotta any bluddah
Rah-ta, rah-ta
