Rudeboy - The Nextmen, Gentleman's Dub Club, Gardna

Mama didn’t raise this rudeboy

He was raised in the dance

Mama didn’t raise this rudeboy

He was raised in the dance

And every single day he went to play

He stepped into the dance to make the darkness go away

Mama didn’t raise this rudeboy

He was raised in the dance

They say my bars are so UK, beats are well J. A

Man original rude boy they say

My life’s always like an away day

And I may say today’s been a great day

My barber has gave me a great fade

And I keep getting smiles from the ladies

Got P’s in my pocket from payday

Peep stars when I played on the main stage

So me haffi say «big up» and «safe mate»

That’s why I’m keeping it calm on the grey days

Let em talk I don’t care what they say, smile on my face mate I raise a

straight face

Got my lyrics and my business doing great mate

Gotta kill em with the treble and the bass, way

It don’t matter bout the colour of your face man, send em out of space go find

another race, mate, eh

Now all the rude girls know that I’m special like Devil, season settle,

ya nah on my level?

Ya nah locked in to the signs of a rebel

The rudeboy’s back, eh speak of the devil

Ain’t no wisdom spilling from my temple, jot it with a pencil, listen and

attention

No no moment’s even as eventful

It’s mental when you’re living it essential

Eh, check my dancehall swagger, champion lover, I am an original man for man

nutter, no man a done dudda

When you see me in the dance say ‘Nice one brudda!'

Rub rub-a-dub till the ting get turn up, pick a sound boy test tell em rude boy

shut up

Rude boy fade and my top button done up, two tone I don’t need no colour

Mama didn’t raise this rudeboy

Set with it, so man I step with it, big riddims, fit women, I gwan like a

rudeboy

Act fit-ish,

Plot thickens, I’m young, unrestricted, I’m winning, I’m living,

I’m wild like a rudeboy

My lyrics are shifting the tickets, I’m rude not explicit, I talk like a rudeboy

I run the dancehall like a rudeboy

No I don’t give a darn like a rudeboy

I got the charm of a rudeboy

And you know say I smile like a rudeboy

You know man I’ve never ever been a good boy but you know man I got the suave

of a rude boy, check

Original like a rudeboy, skank out to my style like a rudeboy

Mama didn’t raise this rudeboy

He was raised in the dance

Mama didn’t raise this rudeboy

He was raised in the dance

And every single day he went to play

He stepped into the dance to make the darkness go away

Mama didn’t raise this rudeboy
