Yo! Di folly inna di music fi dun

Chorus:
Why did it have to be like this, why?! it shouldn't come out to this, yeah!
Why did it have to be like this, artist a fight artist
Artist a diss and some a switch
Why did it have to be like this, why?! it shouldn't come out to this, yeah!
Why did it have to be like this, selecta fight 'gainst selecta
Only play certain artist
Verse 1:
Rememba Daddy URoy and di great King Stitch
Rememba Big Yute and di great Lord Tommy
When di man dem touch di stage dem only do dem big hit
It was controversial but nuh man neva diss
Neva hearweh fi go suck, neva hear weh fi go kiss
Neva hear bout nuh big gun nah nuh ratchet
And nuh shot inna face, and nuh stabbin a nuh hit
Well it wasn't personal it was fah di music
Lead di people teach di people keep dem musically fit
Chorus:
Why did it have to be like this, why?! it shouldn't come out to this, yeah!
Why did it have to be like this, artist a fight artist
Artist a diss and some a switch
Why did it have to be like this, why?! it shouldn't come out to this, yeah!
Why did it have to be like this, selecta fight 'gainst selecta
Only play certain artist
Verse 2:
Mi waan Idonia and Busy Signal
I tell di whole a dem seh nuh get it physical
Mi tell do whole a dem seh fi keep it lyrical
Music alone shall live, even if it critical
So tell Movado, nuh go weh di war go
But go weh di star go, cau music a far go
But yo again, Capleton nuh partial and dat is inevitable
Dat's why mi still a waan (?)
Seh keep it lyrically tek it to anodda level put di fire pon di devil
Hear mi now Kartel, we know yuh start well
Rememba music, and di people heart well
We nuh waan fi see nuh artist soul a go to hell
So righteousness Capleton come rebel
Memba I seh, almshouse, we nuh waan dat bout
I seh music is a mission not a competition
Don't war Bounty Killer, and war Beenie Man
Shabba Ranks know di ting but dun war Ninja Man
Music is life a di true top ting
Artist a fight artist and do not tink
We nuh inna di Biggie a nuh 2Pac ting
David House a only shout out di truth
Chorus:
Why did it have to be like this, why?! it shouldn't come out to this, yeah!
Why did it have to be like this, artist a fight artist
(Yo hear di part from di song seet yah right now!)
Verse 3:
Well everyone right now seh dem waan hold dem own
Nuh bizniz if dem strive from anodda man zone
Right now dem have dem own money caan buy dem own chrome
And have dem own tings caan run dem own home
Seh some a dem own ting and dem leave dem throne
Seh some a dem own king and dem need dem own throne
Chorus:
