[Intro]
Yuh no e a seh, every body cyah not be a gangsta
An’ that live is not for I
That live is not for I
Am only healin’ of the most I
I-I
Am Macka B - oneness!
(Jah!)

[Chorus]
I don’ wanna be a gangsta
I don’ wanna kill no one!
I & I head up Rastafarai
I’m only fighting for liberation
I don’ wanna be a gangsta
I don’ wanna kill no one!
But if a b’woy violate
Me tell a nuh - strain
Things could a bad dung dung dung

[Verse 1]
From a yuth man I didn’t wanna be that
No me a big man, I could a neva pree that
But just because yuh see that
Yuh cyah tek a worry off a idea
Beca’ if I war
It must be fi a cause
Cyah kill a man just because
Eh’ might a step pon yuh toe
O look o’pon yuh hearth
Tired of unnecessary wars
I leave that alone
Me n’inna dat a’ zone!
I seh Marcus Garvey
An’ not Al Capone
Marcus gimme the worry
Then, the power an’ the sound
Look to Africa
ReggKing will be crowned
Like a stone!
No more will I - my r’own
Nah follow nah body
Advise me follow but me own
I & I are trampel babylon
Dem man underground
From Washington right dung to Rome
[Chorus]
I don’ wanna be a gangsta
I don’ wanna kill no one!
I&I head up Rastafarai
I’m only fighting for liberation
I don’ wanna be a gangsta
I don’ wanna kill no one!
But if a b’woy violate
Me tell a nuh - strain
Things could a bad dung dung dung/

[Verse 2]
Seh babylon gwan like they criticize it
But di truth is they love to glamourise it
And instead of despise it
Dem encouraging di youths dem fi rise it
It a in a dem movies it aso in a dem music
Some time its hard fi di youths dem fi refuse it
But I man nah excus’in
Cause a everybody’s own choice fi choosing
Cause ina life yuh got two roads to choose
One yuh a gan a win, an’ di other one yuh loose
Seh Babylon a try fi get dem youth dem confused
Put dem face pon di headline news

[Chorus]
I don’ wanna be a gangsta
I don’ wanna kill no one!
I&I head up Rastafarai
I’m only fighting for liberation
I don’ wanna be a gangsta
I don’ wanna kill no one!
But if a b’woy violate
Me tell a nuh - strain
Things could a bad dung dung dung/
[Verse 3]
‘Nough a di youth dem
Who a go dung di gangsta path
Deep dung they really have a good good heart
‘nough a dem wish they neva did start
But circumstance set dem off
‘nough a di youth dem
Intellegent an dem smart
A inna anything that could mek dem hurt
Dem have powers da dem don’t even realise
Coming from dem ancient past
Yah!
Everybody cyah badda nuh di gangsta walk
Everybody cyah badda nuh di gangsta talk
But that deh not means that yuh soft
Nah means you stupid and daf
Yuh know seh money could a neva be me boss
Haile Selassie a me Chief of Star
Too much likkle young lives get lost
Dem Babylon line dem across

[Chorus]
I don’ wanna be a gangsta
I don’ wanna kill no one!
I&I head up Rastafarai
I’m only fighting for liberation
I don’ wanna be a gangsta
I don’ wanna kill no one!
But if a b’woy violate
Me tell a nuh - [re]strain
Things could a bad dung dung dung/
[Outro]
From me a yuth man I didn’t wanna be that
No me a big man, I could a neva pree that
An’ just beco yuh see that
Yuh cyah tek a worry off a idea
Because if I war
It must be fi a cause
Cyah kill a man just because
Him only a step pon yuh toe
Or him look pon your hearth
Tired of unnecessary wars
I leave that alone
Me nuh inna dat a’ zone!
I sehh Marcus Garvey
An’ not Al Capone
Marcus gimme the worry
Then, the power an’ the sound
Look to Africa
ReggKing will be crowned
Like a stone!
