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
