Lyrics
It was 1993, dancehall was jammin'
All ah di session ram jam pack wid man from morning
Tell di man dem time fi backup backup
Time fi backup
Ah di woman dem time fi standup standup
Time fi standup
Tek up di mic and talk up talk up
Talk up talk up
All ah di man dem out of line
Speak your mind
Nuh small up
When it come to woman, we give dem respect
When it come on to woman, haffi give dem respect
When it come to woman, we give dem respect
Yuh never see no man born nuh baby yet
Cause if yuh love Rita Marley
Just tek ah draw inna di dancehall party
And if yuh love Carlene Davis
Just dial my number pon yuh cellphone, baby
And now di dancehall tun up tun up
Dancehall tun up
Man and woman couple up pull up
Couple up
Sister Nancy bam bam pull up pull up
Bam bam pull up
For every woman in di dance tonight
When it come to woman, we give dem respect
When it come on to woman, haffi give dem respect
When it come to woman, we give dem respect
Yuh never see no man born nuh baby yet
You can't test the strength of a woman
Of a woman ah tell yuh seh nuh do woman suh
