Don’t you think that you known me from before

And don’t you think that putting me down is gonna get you on

And you don’t know where I’m from (don’t know where im coming from)

So don’t judge till im done (don’t judge me till im done)

You think cause I’m whitey that I have it easy

Well you wrong ha yuh nuh get me pity

Watch me one time and yuh wan judge me

Hear me now, still nuh get nuthin for free

We heavyweight come fi dropa dropa

A di natural vibes cyan stopa stopa

Raspect for all my sista and mi Breda

One time for your moddah and yuh faddah

Brand new style and brand new pattern

To all the Africans and Americans

Brand new style and brand new pattern

From a brand new sensation

Don’t you think that you known me from before

And don’t you think that putting me down is gonna get you on

And you don’t know where I’m from (don’t know where im coming from)

So don’t judge till im done (don’t judge me till im done)

Sometimes you come and yuh pressa

Only gangstress and a music pusha

Say me big up the style and all the flava

To all of you all the world

When me say me never know what tomorrow bring

Just putting my faith in my strength and ting

Nuttin nuh come easy for the indigo child

Memba me tell yuh put away bad mind

We workin’, hustlin’, jugglin’ said we

Need nuff money for the food for the belly

Keepin the world entertained, by stories they feel

Brand new style and brand new pattern
