Me come fi show dem how fi do the King′s Step (Left, right)
Show dem how fi do the King's Step (Left, right)
Show dem how fi do the King′s Step (Left, right)
Show dem how fi do the King's Step


As soon as Studio Two fling the music pon the deck
It's very exciting, educating, fascinating
Pirate chanting, culture preaching, perfect timing lyrics you a go get
The whistler blow dem whistle, big woman say, "Kiss me neck"
Some bawl, "Forward", some bawl, "Rewind", and some shout out, "Eject"
While the pirates press record pon fi dem pocket size cassette
The MC′s that chat slack fret ′til dem armpit wet with sweat
Because dem know that slackness is a thing I man do not respect

That's why me come fi show dem how fi do the King′s Step (Left, right)
Show dem how fi do the King's Step (Left, right)
Show dem how fi do the King′s Step (Left, right)
Me come fi show dem how fi do the King's Step

But before me start to go down inna this here subject
Me haffi praise you Jah ′cause you never fail I yet
Even when Satan capture me and bring me close to death
You offered me the truth and right and I had to accept
So now me find you Jah, me nah go keep it secret
That's why the conscious lyrics are my favourite subject
Me chat dem in the blues party, pub, club, and discotheque
Me chat dem in the bookie shop while man a put on bet
Me chat dem in the gambling house when man ready fi set
And even to the bad man who a walk with dem ratchet
Me chat dem at UB40 studio in Digbeth
And when dem want more culture dem a shout out, "Dep, dep, dep"
But me tell dem, "Hold on lads, you ain't heard nothing yet"
′Cause now I′ve come to show you how to do the King's Step


Left, right
Me come fi show dem how fi do the King′s Step

Left, right
It′s time to walk in the light of Jah, not darkness
Left, right
You no bless no man curse, who Jah curse no man no bless
Left, right
Eternal life for the man that tries his very best
Left, right
Do bad and you go down in the pit that's bottomless
Left, right
Left, right
Phatto Banton has now come to preach the right
Left, right
Left, right
Me no partial if you're black or if you′re white
Left, right

Well now me know how fi do the King′s Step
Me just cannot keep it a secret
So right ya now you a go get the King's Step
The King′s Step
The King's Step

Step one: we all should know that there′s one Jah and only one
Step two is give Him praises for this whole creation
Step three is love your brother man 'cause you and him is one
Step four is not to make the same mistake as Solomon
Step five is to repent and beg forgiveness for your wrongs
′Cause the wrath of Jah is clear to see in revelation
So make up your mind if you want to go to Hell or Zion
Step six: there's more, the King's Step carries on
It carries on and on and on and on and on and on
Step six is once you know the truth to pass the message on
And do the King′s Step daily as you trod upon Jah land
So when the right time come for Babylon destruction
You′ll be among the few that march towards Mount Zion
