Lyrics for Traffic Jam
Cho…..(Chorus)
Bop bah bah dah bah………
Bop bah bah dah bah………
Bop bah bah dah bah………
Bop bah bah dah bah………
This is Raggamuffin from the Ghetto Youths camp
Anywhere mi go mi say mi must lef’ mi stamp
Marijuana weh’ mi smoke dem say it too ignorant
Just the other day some po-po hold mi fi one
Me and me bredda Juju and mi idrin’ named Don
Bounce a’ listen to the Gong mi mashing up the traffic jam
Police pull me over, talking bout him smell chron’
From mi look in a him face I know this boy had a plan
Juju touched mi pon mi shoulder said the boy a demon
First thing him’ want to know is where that smell coming from
Are you smoking marijuana? And I said , yes I am
True him’ see say man trans gooda cost a couple grand
Him’ say “mek’ mi see the licence and the registration
And where are you headed? What’s your occupation?
Done know say Raggamuffin naa’ go answer no question
As it says on the paper, read the information
For mi naa’ go tek’ no streetside interrogation
So book me if you book me, carry me down a station
Mek’ me show them how we did it in a style and pattern
Chorus
I’m the judge, the lawyer, jury
I’m my own bails-man
And if you check it good
A’ goodly my station
Mi’ say sekkle’ Juju royal, for you run England
And when you plane land, you no’ go thru no’ custom
This is Raggamuffin in a different pattern
Mi’ no’ go in a’ a session unless it cork and ram
And from you see we face no’ bother ask no’ question
And anywhere we go we have the “rap-a-pam---------pam”
Chorus
