lyrics
WRONG SOMEBODY
By Dignitary Stylish
No false accusation, wrong information, wanna spoil up my reputation. Yu mad!
Anno mi anno mi a di wrong somebody (Repeat x 4)
Mi coming from a dance mi say from outta South
Jeep draw down an police jump out
A ask mi question way mi nuh know not about
Couldn’t give dem answer wa tump mi inna mi mouth
Instantly di people started to shout
A Dignitary Stylish don’t duss him out
Anno mi anno mi a di wrong somebody (Repeat x 4)
Babylon curfew my territory
A block di highway wit di military
An a gwaan wid some tings unnecessary
Like draw down pon Leonam and Dignitary
An come a talk bout a we rob di bakery
No we take di bank mi say dung a Ochi
Yu mad, mi nuh rob, cause music a mi job
Well how Babylon wa come treat mi so bad
Dem think a now mi de ya an a set di standard
Jus like a Moses a trod di land wid mi rod
Anno mi anno mi a di wrong somebody (Repeat x 4)
Well hey Babylon, well yu mussi junkie
Wa treat Dignitary like hanky panky
Mi nuh speakie spokie or mi nuh itie tightie
Some tings way dem a gwaan wid mi nuh like it
All way mi si a jus brutality
Dignitary say there is no partiality
Anno mi anno mi a di wrong somebody
Yu nuh bathe last night, yu nuh bathe this morning yu dirty
Yu nuh drink last night , yu nuh drink this morning yu thirsty
Yu nuh eat last night, yu nuh eat dis morning yu hungry
Babylon yes dem too trigga happy, di people inna di world mi say dem a worry
When dem si di Babylon mi say dem nah tarry
Anno mi anno mi a di wrong somebody (Repeat x 4)
Mi coming from a dance mi say from outta South
Jeep draw down an police jump out
A ask mi question way mi nuh know not about
Couldn’t give dem answer wa tump mi inna mi mouth
Instantly di people started to shout
A Dignitary mi say don’t duss him out
Anno mi anno mi a di wrong somebody (Repeat x 4)
Mi ago prove dem wrong, when dem come wid false accusation
An a talk bout dem get information, how much dem want mi down a di station
Dem ongle wa spoil up mi reputation, mi know where mi goin and where mi come from
Dignitary de ya a set di foundation, di world done know mi a Jah descendant
Yu man mi nuh rob cause music a mi job
Well how Babylon wa treat mi so bad
Dem think a now mi de ya an a set di standard.
