Man to man is so unjust, children:
Ya don’t know who to trust.
Your worst enemy could be your best friend,
And your best friend your worst enemy.
Some will eat and drink with you,
Then behind them su-su ‘pon you.
Only your friend know your secrets,
So only he could reveal it.
And who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Said ah throw meh corn, me no call no fowl;
Ah saying, «Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk.»
Some will hate you, pretend they love you now,
Then behind they try to eliminate you.
But who Jah bless, no one curse;
Thank God, we’re past the worst.
Hypocrites and parasites
Will come up and take a bite.
And if your night should turn to day,
Ah lot of people would run away.
And who the cap fit let them wear it!
Who the (cap fit) let them (wear it)!
And then ah-gonna throw me corn,
And then ah-gonna call no fowl,
And then ah-gonna «Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk.»
Some will eat and drink with you,
Then behind them su-su ‘pon you, yeah!
And if night should turn to day, now,
Ah lot of people would run away, yeah!
And who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Who the cap fit, let them wear it!
Throw me corn, me no call no fowl;
Ah-saying: «Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk.»
… : «Cook-cook-cook, cluk-cluk-cluk.»
Throw meh corn (cook-cook-cook);
Me call no fowl (cluk-cluk-cluk).
