Buju Banton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴New style!
Style a style, and style cyan spoil
All the girls dem jump and shock out for awhile
Watch this!

New year, new style, new dance a lick
Fling your hands inna di air, then you rock, then you dip
Move to the drum and make your body kick

Step forward and come up back quick
That a the new style weh the whole place a do
Rock Bogle Dance from music sweet you
Bogle a run the place night and day
So just rock Bogle Dance from a your tune a play

A mussi Nanny that? After anuh so Bogle stay!
She cyan do it good, but she a rock same way
For real!
Mi love how the gyal dem a do it
Rock so, dip so, to God dem look sweet
Trust me! I and I love stand up and see it
Uptown, downtown a rock to the beat
Germain a try, but him nuh ready yet
Him better make Stumpy teach him the step
All Wayne Wonder stiff like piece of wood

Favor idiot and cyan do Bogle good!
Eh eh!
