Macka B – Slow Down Driver Lyrics

Reggae

Now, this is a message to all motorists
You fi slow down, you are driving too fast (Hit me up!)

Slow down, you're driving too fast
Low di people when you see dem a cross
One dead a day, that a one too much
Take your time and drive cautious

A di second time mi come a jam down at di bus
An' mi find out di road dem a get dangerous
Every day this year somebody get dust
Road accident, dem a happen too much (Now!)
Look how mi big, look how mi look tough
An' you know say, mi frighten fi catch mini bus
When mi see how dem ram an' how di people dem crush
Mi say, mi nah go in deh so 'cause it look dangerous
Di bus pack tighter than a tourist grip
Mek fi twenty an' forty inna it
Mek fi thirty an' fifty inna it
It mek fi fifty an' sixty inna it
Di mini bus pack pon most of di trip
True, di more people, a di more dem profit
Fi get more money dem a drive back quick
But, what's the use of more money when you inna casket?

You fi slow down, you're driving too fast
Low di people when you see dem a cross
One dead a day, that a one too much
Take your time and drive cautious

So, mi low di mini bus an' mi go catch taxi cab
Mi say, mi alright now, this cyaan bad
Mi start fi relax, I was ever so glad
But when di man start drive, him start gwan like him mad
Everything pon di road di man waan overtake
A wriggle through di traffic like him a grass snake
When him fi slow down fi a corner, him a accelerate
Whole journey him foot no touch brake
When mi reach weh we a go, mi have a wicked headache
Come out of di taxi, mi a walk an' shake
Come in like mi a coffee an' mi a percolate
It's a lucky thing a inna Jah mi put my faith

You fi slow down, you're moving too fast
Low di people when you see dem a cross
One dead a day, that a one too much
Take your time and drive cautious

It's not all of dem, it's only some of dem
But, a di some of dem, dem a cause di problem
It's not all of dem, it's only some of dem
But, a di some of dem, dem a cause di problem

Now, mi say to one man, "this no make sense"
How come Jamaica have so much accidents?
Him say, "just think good, use your intelligent"
You no know, some Jamaicans well different
Dem no deh pon di road through dem have road sense
Dem no deh pon di road through road competence
No deh pon di road through road excellence
Dem deh pon di road because dem have some dollars an' cents
An' a buy-b-b-buy, b-buy dem license
Some a buy-b-b-buy, b-buy dem license
Buy-b-b-buy, b-buy dem license
Some a buy-b-b-buy, b-buy dem license

You fi slow down, you're moving too fast
Low di people when you see dem a cross
One dead a day, that a one too much
Take your time and drive cautious

Be careful when you cross di road, little children
Look left, then right, then look left again
Cross when di road clear an' only go then
'Cause, car bumper an' children anuh friend

You fi slow down, you're moving too fast
Low di people when you see dem a cross
One dead a day, that a one too much
Take your time and drive cautious

A di second time mi come a jam down at di bus
An' mi find out di road dem a get dangerous
Every day this year somebody get dust
Road accident, dem a happen too much (Now!)
Look how mi big, look how mi look tough
An' you know say, mi frighten fi catch mini bus
When mi see how dem ram an' how di people dem crush
Mi say, mi nah go in deh so 'cause it look dangerous
Di bus pack tighter than a tourist grip
It mek fi twenty an' forty inna it
It mek fi thirty an' fifty inna it
It mek fi forty an' sixty inna it
Di mini bus pack pon most of di trip
True, di more people, a di more dem profit
Fi get more money dem a drive back quick
But, what's the use of more money when you inna casket?

You fi slow down, you're driving too fast
Low di people when you-
