Stop Yu Loafin
[Intro]
Hail John, do you know I man call Prince Joker from La Boca, Rasta?
Yes I-ya, di man weh love to play poker
Great sound's call "Stop Yuh Loaftin"
No time to loaft', standin' on the corner everyday giving trouble
It's not time to loaf everyday, I would say
'Bout a sound-a, then no matter what dem say
[Pre-Chorus]
Skylarking (Too bad)
Skylarking (Too sad)
That is what youths do today

Before they stand up firm- ('Bout the sound, I would say)
[Chorus]
'Cause if you beg a five cent an' you get ten cent
Beg a five cent an' you get ten cent
Stop your loaftin', stop your loaftin'

Stop your loaftin', stop your loaftin'
