Big Showdown Songtext
von Toyan

Big chat is all you got
So you see, when the right time come
Natty dreadlocks get it down
Thing call "The Big Showdown"
Natty dreadlocks versus ballhead (Murderer)
Hail Rasta!

Cah, I go tell dem ′bout di boxin' an′ thing
Cah, say, mi a go tell dem 'bout di boxin' an′ thing
Cah, Lord, it was di dread an′ di ballhead in di ring

But tell you, when di ballhead turn to di right
You hear ballhead an' dem a shout out of sight
But tell you, when di dread turn to di left
Cah tell you, Lord, dat, mi say, di ballhead deaf
Cah, little after dat, mi say, you cyaan find di ref (Bimma)

Wha′ do di ref, him think a mouth an' deaf (Bimma)
Wha′ do di ref, him think a mouth an' deaf


I go tell dem ′bout di boxin' an' thing
Cah, Lord, it was very exciting an′ thing
Cah, watch it, well, try fi cheerin′ an' thing
Jah, watch di half-a-dance keep laughin′ an' thing
Jah, watch it, with di dread an′ di ballhead in di ring (Bimma)

Cah, when di ballhead turn to di right
You hear ballhead an' dem a shout out of sight
But tell you, when di dread turn to di left
Say, little after dat, mi say, di ballhead deaf
Cah, little after dat, mi say, you cyaan find di ref (Bimma)

Wha′ do di ref, him think a mouth an' deaf (Bimma)
Wha' do di ref, him think a mouth an′ deaf

Say, little after dat, di dread lean pon di rope
You hear poor Paul, say, dem started to shout
Di dread take boxin′ for a big-big joke
Cah, pity dem no know, mi say, dat a knock-out
Di drink one stout, him no run up him mouth

I go tell dem 'bout di boxin′ an' thing
Lord, scientist, him a di king in a di ring
Cah, not a green sleeve keep dem rockin′ an' swing (A weh mi say?)

Said, every mornin′ when it reach four o'clock (Bimma)
Said dat mi put on mi shorts an' mi put on baby socks
Mi wake out of mi bed an′ mi go ′round four lap (Bimma)


Wha' do di ref, him think a mouth an′ deaf (Bimma)
Wha' do di ref, him think a mouth an′ deaf

Cah, Lord, it was di dread an' di ballhead in di ring
