Taxi Driver lyrics

Now hear this crowd of people 
I man well vex 
And just have fe big up me chest 
Cause the Taxi Driver don't have no respect 
Want I fe catch bus hop truck and 
Ride bike and stand up on the road 
And hitch hike 
But you see me...dem deh things can't go on 
Cause Natty Dread RIDE THE STORM 

CHORUS 
Taxi Driver 
Won't stop for me 
Whenever I flag him down 
He won't stop for me 

DJ BUMBO BROWN 
In a London city and in a New York 
There are no go areas after dark 
I say muggers on the streets 
And thief in the park 
Tramps pon the sidewalk 
A dem a sky lark 
Some a catch the taxi - when they reach 
Their spot 
Pretend to pay the driver 
And then they just run off 
Some a argue with the driver 
And say the fare aint right 
The next thing you know 
They have a kitchen knife 

CHORUS 
Taxi Driver 
Won't stop for me 
Whenever I flag him down 
He won't stop for me 

To hail a cab 
You got to be fast 
You try to catch a taxi 
But they just drive past 

DAVID DREAD 
The taxi-cab driver never stop for me 
They got all kind of excuses up his sleeve 
Some say they off duty 
Some say they not free 
The taxi cab driver never stop for me 
Because of my dreadlocks looking wild 
They think I'm a mugger of some bad guy 
No they never stop they just pass me by 
They treat me like a leper 
Who's left to die Yo! 

Excuse me mate can you get me a taxi 
Is that the driver 
Boy...Jungle 

DJ BUMBO BROWN 
You think that bad 
Mek I tell you what the brute 
Do to me youth 
Well I was walking with my son 
Who was just a child 
And still the Taxi Driver 
Won't give me a ride 
He was caught by the traffic lights 
And had to slow down 
So I opened the back door 
And sat my son down 
So he tried his best to 
Stop me from coming in 
I say move yourself man 
And start your driving 
He was very angry 
But he asked where to 
I said take me to the station 
My train leaving soon 
So guess what he did to me 
Just for spite 
He stopped at every single traffic light 
He took the wrong turn 
And the long way too 
He stopped at the bar 
Just to use the loo 
When I got to the station 
It was all in vain 
Good golly good gosh 
I say I miss my train 

Me kick up the taxi 
Me kick up the Taxi Driver 
Me lick up the taxi 
Me lick up the Taxi Driver 
Not stopping 
He just not stopping
