Vybz Kartel - Start Well Lyrics

Corleone Productions
Told dem, Kartel
(Timeless) you know
See me seh, Vendetta (Up 2 di Time)
Portmore (down to di hour)
(Timeless) time after time
You know (you know)

Inna mi Karl Kani, no
Me inna mi close fittin' Clarkes
Mi shoes nuh cheap like chicken parts
Check out mi Valentino summer shorts
Moschino button shirt wid di hearts
Fendi glass cost eighty Deutschmark
Me di gyaldem a pree when me a pass
(Who dah tall yute deh?)
Dem have me inna dem thoughts
Barbara Gloudon dem call a ask
(Who is Vybz Kartel?)
And dem making recommendations and remarks
Some say me ugly like Bubba Sparxx
Some say me a di best dem come across
Mi legal firearm a fiber-glass
So nuh rush me wid do knife a rass
Dis plus me equal yuh life a lost

Who dem seh start well? Kartel
Lock dung di chart well, gwan sell
Put copper to di heatwell, shh, nah tell
Twenty-fours under di wheel, well, it running real well

Who dem seh start well? Kartel
Lock dung di chart well, gwan sell
Put copper to di heatwell, shh, nah tell
Twenty-fours under di wheel, well, it running real well

Me make Reggae bigger than Rock and Roll
Me mek it bigga dan Hip Hop and Soul
A me next a go lock di Superbowl
Collect a few platinum, a group of gold
Vibe magazine, front page and centerfold
You see how me cold?
A nuh foreign ice, a British gold
Half of di story have never been told
Benjamins and Franklins and Francs in mi billfold
And when me roll mi skiller than Allan "Skill" Cole

Who dem seh start well? Kartel
Lock dung di chart well, gwan sell
Put copper to di heatwell, shh, nah tell
Twenty-fours under di wheel, well, it running real well

Who dem seh start well? Kartel
Lock dung di chart well, gwan sell
Put copper to di heatwell, shh, nah tell
Twenty-fours under di wheel, well, it running real well

Di real king coming for di throne
Vybz Kartel and Don Corleon
Two ambitious yute weh want we own
So we nuh lef di chrome when we roam
Dis a nuh comedy like Jefferson's or "Home Alone"
If you clone Al Capone, Sylvester Stallone, Bugsy Malone
Dem d'even bad than mi cologne (I've got news for you)
But me a nuh Shalom
Di news is unnuh fi lef di zone

Memba who dem seh start well? Kartel
Lock dung di chart well, gwan sell
Put copper to di heatwell, shh, nah tell
Twenty-fours under di wheel, well, it running real well
