bounty killer - can't tek your man lyrics
[intro]
some gyal no understand themselves
a live like some bottle pon shelf
gyal, go look a man fi yourself!
anyway! girl!
tell dem!
[chorus]
dem just can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh
from you small, a go school, you and the man deh
can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh
a gyal a chat, cork your ears, no hear wha’ dem a say
[hook]
gyal, you better hold on pon your man, no make a gyal take him ‘way
you deh with him too long
mi say!
gyal, you better hold on pon your man, no make a gyal take him ‘way
you better hold on strong
because…
[verse 1]
a gyal no know your man when him inna one stripe
when white squall a l!ck, and just hungry a bite
can’t pay fi water rate, much less pay fi light
when the worm dem inna unuh belly just a toss and fight
unuh make a board house pon a government site
woman, there is hope, so long so got life
pray to father god and make him show you the light
well now your man buss ‘way, a fly as him like
have big house pon hill and him deposit right
have big benz, big truck, and big bike
well, now gyal a flock him like rep pc rice
the whole of dem flop ’cause a you a the wife
with the ring pon your finger, you hold on –
[chorus]
dem can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh
from you likkle and a go school, you and the man deh
dem can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh
a gyal a chat, cork your ears, no hear wha’ dem a say
[hook]

gyal, you better hold on pon your man, no make a gyal take him ‘way

[verse 2]
you have your man from when, from 19-‘how long’
a face sufferation and tribulation
when money run short, you couldn’t buy pound of yam
a build form inna the earth, from inna the foundation
to make two ends meet, just to make one
a gyal nuh have no lots and part inna him plan
and all she come a deal with a transaction
she might lose the foot, or she might lose the hand
might as well the life if she don’t lef’ the man
[chorus]
dem can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh
from you small, a go school, you and the man deh

[verse 3]
some gyal nowadays no understand themselves
some gyal, dem a live like some bottle pon shelf
but you well ambitious, and you well decent
hand inna the air ’cause you’re intelligent
a you spend the money, but a gyal a get cent
a your own house you have, so you no haffi pay rent
a gyal a live a bush and a gyal a pitch tent
a gyal down trot, no want no upliftment
all a gyal love is careless argument
sit down pon sidewalk a hold conference
’bout who get the money, from who no get a cent
’bout who fa face straight, from who fa face dent
and who a virgin, and who a get the length
but, hand inna the air ’cause you’re well excellent
gyal, shout it out, and you’re well confident
[chorus]
dem can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh
from you small, a go school, you and the man deh
dem can’t take your man, tell dem fi gweh
a gyal a chat, cork your ears, no hear wha’ dem a say
[hook]
gyal, you better hold on pon your man, no make a gyal take him ‘way
you deh with him too long
mi say!
gyal, you better hold on pon your man, no make a gyal take him ‘way
you better hold on strong

[verse 1]
a gyal no know your man when him inna one stripe
when white squall a l!ck, and pure hungry a bite
can’t pay fi water rate, much less pay fi light
when the worm dem inna unuh belly just a toss and fight
unuh make a board house pon a government site
woman, there is hope, so long so got life

with big benz, big truck, and big bike
well, now gyal a flock him like rep pc rice
the whole of dem flop ’cause a you a the wife
with the ring pon your finger, you hold on –
