Back Against The Wall Songtext / Lyric

Whoa, na, na, yeah, yeah, ya zagga, nagga, now, now

Oh lord, well, I gotta friend called Tony

Who been build a one [unverified] from mi was a baby

His nickname afta dat is money

Let mi give dem di whole story, yeah, ya, ya



As a juvenile in di ghetto were growin' up

Their big guns wanted boy have showin' us

And they keep tell him everyday that gun is no toy

Till policeman back him up



Shoot out his way, escape, he's fabulous

Jamaican most wanted, he's dangerous

People dem a say this is one cantankerous boy



Hey, but now di back against di wall

(Back against di wall)

Likkle yuh know yuh would a fall

(Know yuh would a fall)

Seh dat yuh badda than all

But yuh shouldn't lick di bank down at di mall

(Bank down at di mall)






Now yuh modda pon har belly and a bawl

(Pon har belly and a bawl)

When man mek dat phone call

(Oh, now, now, now, now)

Di system weh dem have yah it create this crisis

Yuh see a ghetto yute wit a gun na, call him no boy

As a ghetto yute yuh have a few opportunities

Lack of education wid all we abilities stall, hey, ya

It's like workin' at a hospital, yuh can't afford fi see innah

Workin' at a restaurant, yuh can't afford a food innah

Workin' at a butty poor, yuh can't afford a shoes innah

Feel se dat me right mi fren? No rasta
