You know what this lady tell me 

I was minding my business 

Just so easy easy 

She step to me saying, 

“You’re an eyesore, you look filthy and you smell nasty”

Like she doh know who is me 

I is the vagrant from Grande 

Ah say 

I is The vagrant from Grande

She doh know nah 

 

I ugly?!

Can’t she see

The ribs framing abs on my flat stomach 

She hopes to achieve 

But she doh know nah

She doh know bout starving for 3 days a week

Cuz you doh have nothing to eat 

My diet is not for the weak 

 

Can’t she see the way 

My hips sway 

For these gaps on my thighs 

She prays 

But she doh know nah 

She doh know bout walking outside KFC 

For the chicken grease smell yuh chase  

Cuz that plenty for twenty 

Only works if you have the twenty to spend in the first place 

She.. Doh …know nah

 

Like she cah tell 

How sweet I smell 

A trail of fruit flies bloom with every step I take 

When I pass so

People just move and clear the way 

I walk on red carpets all day 

I sleep on designer garbage bags

My clothes seasoned with age 

The rips and tears

Gucci can’t even hope to imitate 

She doh know nah

She doh know nah 

I am the only gift for Jesus’ birthday 

When people come by me and say 

“The Pope said, The ever wider we,

I am giving alms to charity” 

But it seems to me like that 

Ever Wider We a lil narrow 

Cuz after Christmas Day

They does gone they way 

But I don’t know nah 

 

She doh know bout that mental strain 

To try to keep a smile on your face every day 

When people say 

“She cyah geh a wok?! watch she” 

But who go interview me 

When I ain’t  bathe since it rain 

These clothes I wear 

For five years they marinate

They doh know nah 

 

And she skin up she face…and call me lazy 

Eh heh?! Well I didn’t forget she 

She ent know how hard I train 

Honey, I is a certified beggar 

She doh know nah 

I had a brother and a sister 

While they went to school during the day 

I start my lifelong profession 

High…Way… beggin 

For their education 

I had to pay 

I couldn’t afford to go to school after SEA

 

But what does it matter 

Anything I say

She not going and retain 

Is best I talk to myself 

Up to now

She doh know how deep her words stain 

She doh know nah 

(Steups) 

Hah lord 

She really doh know.
