Want to know what slackness is?
I'll be the witness to that
Unnu come off of mi back
A whole heap of things out there waan deal with
And unnu nah see that
Watch yah nuh!

Mi say!
Society a blame Lady Saw fi the system dem create
When Culture did a clap, dem never let me through the gate
Now, as mi say sex, dem waan fi jump pon mi case
But pick the beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi face

Slackness is when the road waan fi fix
Slackness when the government break dem promise
Slackness when politician issue out gun
So the two party a shot dem one another down
A syndicate of man waan fi flop mi career, saying
"Lady Saw a lead the people dem astray
What happen to the nude beach dem have inna Mobay?
And the old Sunday show that is promoting gay?"

Dem a blame Lady Saw fi the system dem create
When Culture did a clap, dem never let me through the gate
Now, as mi say sex, dem waan fi jump pon mi case
Pick the beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi face

When you say slack, don't point your finger at me
Government say, education, it is always the key
But tell me now, how the hell could it be
When the poorer class of people cyan find the solution?
Light bill, dem waan raise it to a hundred percent
Mi poor grandmama, she can't pay her rent
Now me a deejay fi help out situation
But to how dem a flex, dem waan stop me from nyash

Dem a blame Lady Saw fi the system dem create
When Culture did a clap, dem never let me through the gate
Now, as mi say sex, dem waan fi jump pon mi case
Pick the beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi face

Ban people, trust me, dem wrong
The only ban me cyan get, must be my wedding band
Remember, this a my born Jamaican
And no matter how dem try, me nah lef' mi island

Dem a blame Lady Saw fi the system dem create
When Culture did a clap, dem never let me through the gate
Now, as mi say sex, dem waan fi jump pon mi case
But pick the beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi face

Dem say me slack, but it's a double standard thing
Slackness make nuff man gone a foreign
International, a green dollars dem a bring
But true me nah bring enough, dem take set inna mi string

Dem a blame Lady Saw fi the system dem create
When Culture did a clap, dem never let me through the gate
Now, as mi say sex, dem waan fi jump pon mi case
But pick the beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi face

Slackness when the government break dem promise
