  • The shot of the bomb in the night
    Yeah, well

    Gimme di woman who fi love love up she man properly
    Me nuh want di gyal dem wid di wrong recipe
    She haffi have di lovin' and the right mentality
    And she don't wanna trick me

    You never knew that you hurt me
    I woke up all alone
    Must have been about 11:30
    And you never tried to phone
    Now I'm thinking that you're dirty
    And now I gotta try and calm, calm down
    You ain't backing down, backing down
    From the dirtiest trick in town, oh, oh
    You're the dirtiest trick in town

    The shot of the bomb in the night

    You never let me love you
    You never let me love you like I can
    You never let me love you, goddamn
    You never let me love you like a man can

    You shoulda never tried to fool me
    Don't you know I am
    Far from ordinary
    A hardworking man?
    I never let you control me
    Like the ones you knock, knock down
    Will make you back down, back down
    From the dirtiest trick in town, oh, oh, oh
    You're the dirtiest trick in town (yeah, well)

    Gimme di woman who fi love love up she man properly
    Me nuh want di gyal dem wid di wrong recipe
    She haffi have di lovin' and the right mentality
    Delinquents won't be your accessory

    You tried to double-cross me, now you lost me (well, you done know)
    This relationship sure proved to be costly
    I'm in the studio, I'm flippin' with the posse
    But all my beats sound wrong, lyrics sound off-key (lyrics sound off-key)
    I lost my knack to lay down a track (ah, yeah)
    It took me a strong cognac to get my flow back
    I can't believe this is me complainin'
    The one stamina maintaining
    Lyrical reigning, argument and excuse explaining (uh-huh)
    Your feminism ship has gone overboard (Lawd)
    You left your man ignored (well, Lawd)
    Lord, as the words for my vocal chords
    Move towards your eardrums, you realize you're a fraud and then some (uh-huh)
    And just like a bomb in the night (the shot of a bomb in the night)
    An explosion of insight, you dirty tricks hold tight, please

    Gimme di woman who fi love love up she man properly
    Me nuh want di gyal dem wid di wrong recipe (di wrong)
    She haffi have di lovin' and the right mentality (mentality)
    And she don't wanna trick me

    Gimme di woman who fi love love up she man properly
    Me nuh want di gyal dem wid di wrong recipe (di wrong)
    She haffi have di lovin' and the right mentality (mentality)
    And she don't wanna trick me

    Gimme di woman who fi love love up she man properly
    Me nuh want di gyal dem wid di wrong recipe
    She haffi have di lovin' and the right mentality
    And she don't wanna trick me Writer/s: Alex Weiss, Marlon Roudette, Neil Pearson, Oshik Levi, Shalom Chanoh
