about

Police & Badboy is an audio Jamaican action movie packed into a song. The lyrical content is not fiction, though, but an everyday reality for many in Jamaica. Rising star Eesah gets straight to the point singing “Seh when you hear gunshot, is another man down. And when you hear the Don chat, just know ah him run the town”, alongside the lyrical anomaly Kabaka Pyramid starting with fierce lyrics like “Inna di, murda Capitol, dem nuh murda fi capital", the song is a reggae classic in the works.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Skibili beng
Chibah ah ah ah
Beng
Beng

Chi beng
Beng

Oh gosh
Hear mi nuh

Seh when you hear gunshot
Is another man down
And when you hear the Don chat
Just know ah him run the town
Oh lawd
Woy
These streets nuh play dawg
Mi telling you
Even the child know seh
When you hear greng greng
Another robbery go down
Oh lawd
Ay

Police & badboys roll the same way
Dem kill & rob
Try rule the damn place
Anyweh good cop deh
You haffi find bad cop yeah
I telling’ you seh
Badboy say ah dem ah run the bay
And when the boat dock the corrupt cop nuh get no pay
Him turn to the Don and say “you better run away”
Before mi link some other squaddie yeah
So when you hear
Siren and badboys you know ah showdown
Ayy
Not even Stone Love nuh make so much sound
Oh God

Seh when you hear gunshot
Is another man down
And when you hear the Don chat
Just know ah him run the town
Accurate
Immaculate
Oh lawd
Woy
These streets nuh play dawg
Mi telling you
No time
No day
Even the child know seh
When you hear greng greng
Bang
Another robbery go down
Skibili beng

Oh lawd
Ay

Inna di
Murda capitol
Dem nuh murda fi capital
Gunman will kill people for some reason weh nuh even practical
Police nuh tek sabbatical
Dem full yuh up ah shot
Mek all di Docta dem struggle fi identify inna di hospital
Badman dem nuh play play
Man ah shoot like Braithwaite
Murda you wit a straight face
Graveyard haffi mek space
Bad cop dem have red eye and di good cop dem ah save face
When di AK dem ah spray, spray
Another man life fade way
Another bloodstain up on the concrete
Another mother bawl for her son
So when you see the gunman or police
Well try nuh bother run
That’s when you hear

Gunshot
Gunshot
Gunshot
Is another man down
Shot ah beat
Another man
Another man down
Yuh know ah who dweet
Another man
Another man down
Skibili beng
Beng beng
