Musical thing keep you rocking
So all you got to do is keep on coming down
And tek in the vibes as I would tell you do it
Yeah dis a de brand new style
Dis is a bubbling style

[Chorus]
It's me the original D
Come fe mash it up with enough style
It's me Ranking Rogee
Back weh all the people who a try stop we

Because we come in de business in 1979
Dem deh time everything was find
All kind of man used to live pon de street
Rich man, poor man, beggar man thief
But me never check a man for his nationality
When I check a man it's for his personality
I want you to know and I want you to see
If I respect you then you're to respect me

[Chorus]

It's weird how de original D
Come fe mash it up with enough style
It's me Ranking Rogee
Back weh all the people who a try stop we

It's I Ranking Roger 'pon de mike jus' a talk
Anywhere me go me seh de dance must cork
Room full of people, everybody dressed smart
People dem a look for brnad new start
So we give them the drum
And we give them the bass
And we give them guitar
Cause we winning the race
Man a jump up, gal a whine up them waist
Make up yjem music mix it with bass
A little ambient and a little bit of dub
Especially designed for the party and the club
We're making the music for everybody
You're to know we are the best in our category
So I don't want no one to come lie to me
When yjem say yjem a me friend and yjem is me enemy
I want you to know and I want you to see
If I respect you then you're to respect me

[Chorus]

It's weird how de original D
Come fe mash it up with enough style
It's me Ranking Rogee
Back weh all the people who a try stop we
