Intro: 

Yes I! yes mon! A mi mon... 

It'just like di 4 elements of life yuh know 

Earth wind water and fire and none caan work widout di other yuh know 

But yuh see some man seh dat dem fi run di business 

A Wha a gwaan mon? Yo!... 

Dem a talk bout more fire, mi a talk bout more prayer 

We pray for water mek it wash down bag-a-walla 

Dem a talk bout more fire, we a talk bout more prayer 

We this yah tune dat ago mek some DJ talk some more... But Wha! 

Chorus: 

Heights Of Great Men reach and kept 

Were not attained by sudden flight 

Gee while their companions slept 

Very ackwardtile in through the night 

Heights Of Great Men reach and kept 

Were not attained by sudden flight 

Gee while their companions slept 

Very ackwardtile in through the night 

Verse 1: 

Cool, a who dem seh dem a fight deh, a who dem seh dem go light 

Selassie overthroned him never tek nobody's stripe 

A who dem a seh man nasty? and dem nuh smell so right 

A nuff a dem deh dutty dread nuh bath under pipe 

Mi see seh dat look envious mi know it obvious 

And if mi never war wid him I know him wouldn't buss 

Yuh should have thanked mi first, I am da genius 

Like how yuh dissed though dat a small exodus 

Cool! Mi check mi hear how yuh waan bun Bill Clinton 

Mi use fi hear how yuh waan bun all maamaman 

Mi use fi hear how yuh waan bun all lesbian 

So tell mi how di hell yuh go sign to Def Jam when?! 

Chorus: 

Heights Of Great Men reach and kept 

Were not attained by sudden flight 

Gee while their companions slept 

Very ackwardtile in through the night 

Heights Of Great Men reach and kept 

Were not attained by sudden flight 

Gee while their companions slept 

Very ackwardtile in through the night 

Verse 2: 

Cool mi go call him mi go tek it pon a level 

Hoped yuh were di first Selassie seh dem a di devel 

Now I mek some DJ get uncomfortable 

Well I am di rain fi mek all fire fuzzle 

Well mi haffi wonder if a dem seh dem come a sizzle 

Yuh dead in New York so how dead man fi risin? 

Well we kill people dem dead and forgotten 

Wait this yah dupyman come fi cause trouble 

But hear mi sing... 

Chorus: 

Heights Of Great Men reach and kept 

Were not attained by sudden flight 

Gee while their companions slept 

Very ackwardtile in through the night 

Heights Of Great Men reach and kept 

Were not attained by sudden flight 

Gee while their companions slept 

Very ackwardtile in through the night 

Verse 3: 

But a talk bout more fire, mi a give dem more prayer 

Mi pray fi rain and mek it wash down bag-a-walla 

Dem a talk bout more fire, mi a give dem more fire 

Well this a tune dat ago mek some DJ talk some more 

So all di war yuh see dem a war 

And all di fuss yuh see dem a throw
