Lyrics

Intro – DJ style / toast

Wheel it up… pull up…

Rag-a-muffin inna di place… seen?

Rub-a-dub style, original fashion…

Wicked and wiley… hear dis…

Chorus

Rag-a-muffin wiley style, step inna di dance with a conscious smile

Wicked and wild but mi heart stay pure

Rub-a-dub rhythm, foundation secure

Rag-a-muffin wiley style, lyrics sharp and mi flow versatile

From di roots to di street and di culture strong

Original sound, we carry it on

Verse 1

Step pon di corner, mic inna mi hand

Soundbwoy test, dem no understand

Lyrics cut clean like a two-edge sword

Spit truth pon riddim, give thanks to di Lord

No imitation, no copycat ting

Original voice mek di whole place ring

From yard to abroad, mi name dem a call

Rag-a-muffin style, we nah stall at all

Boots pon mi feet and mi hat cock low

Confidence high, mek di whole vibe glow

From Kingston town to di global stage

Still bring fire from di ancient page

Pre-Chorus

When di bassline drop and di drum dem roll

Feel di vibration deep inna yuh soul

Chorus

Rag-a-muffin wiley style, step inna di dance with a conscious smile

Wicked and wild but mi heart stay pure

Rub-a-dub rhythm, foundation secure

Rag-a-muffin wiley style, lyrics sharp and mi flow versatile

From di roots to di street and di culture strong

Original sound, we carry it on

Verse 2

Sound system nice and di speaker dem tall

Selector a juggle, nice tune a call

Forward fi di massive, hands inna di sky

When di riddim hit, everybody feel high

Chat dem a chat but mi nah respond

Lyrics too deep like di ocean pond

Wiley and slick with di wordplay craft

Spit bar so clean mek di whole crowd laugh

No gimmick ting, just realness alone

Foundation solid like a cornerstone

Rub-a-dub swing with a modern twist

Still keep it roots, cyan never miss

Fire inna mi chest when mi touch di mic

Every line connect like a lightning strike

Crowd start bubble when di chorus land

Pure vibration spread cross di land

Bridge – breakdown / call & response

Say rag-a-muffin! (Rag-a-muffin!)

Wicked and wiley! (Wicked and wiley!)

Rub-a-dub style! (Rub-a-dub style!)

Original style! (Original style!)

No fake, no fraud, no plastic sound

Real reggae music we a pass around

Verse 3

From di old school days to di future sound

Still keep di culture firmly ground

Lyrics a weapon but also a guide

Teach and uplift while we ride di vibe

No sell out soul fi di hype and fame

Respect di roots, elevate di name

Rag-a-muffin code, we a live it true

Every word weh we chant haffi carry through

Dancehall nice when di energy clean

Unity strong when di love intervene

From di mic to di street to di people dem heart

Music a di mission right from di start

So when you hear dis, just know di deal

Authentic sound weh you truly feel

Wicked and wiley but wise and aware

Spread good vibration everywhere

Final Chorus – extended

Rag-a-muffin wiley style, step inna di dance with a conscious smile

Wicked and wild but mi heart stay pure

Rub-a-dub rhythm, foundation secure

Rag-a-muffin wiley style, lyrics sharp and mi flow versatile

From di roots to di street and di culture strong

Original sound, we carry it on

Outro – DJ fade

Pull up… rewind…

Rag-a-muffin style cyaan decline…

Rub-a-dub forever, culture divine…

Wicked and wiley… every time
