Lyrics

Woii, yeah

Expression of excitement or affirmation


Good woman, respect yourself

Encouragement for women to value themselves

Be proud of yourself, neva sell yourself

Advice to be proud and not compromise self-respect

You're black and beautiful with your ivory smile

Complimenting the beauty of black women

Don't give away yourself until di land is fertile

Caution against giving oneself too easily

Before a bwoy get it, haffi walk thousand miles

Highlighting the effort required to win a good woman

And put di application right pon top a di pile

Emphasizing the importance of a proper approach

You're precious and pretty, you nuh need to run wild

Affirming the value and attractiveness of the woman

You're always in control cah you a no Satan child

Asserting that the woman is in control and not influenced by negativity

Nuff a dem love always leggo di cat

Criticizing those who easily engage in relationships

Dem cunkoo well use more than a restaurant pot

Comparing promiscuity to a well-used cooking pot

Nuff a dem uglier than a likkle rat bat

Describing some individuals as unattractive and deceitful

But still a trick di dawgs dem wid dem little dog trap

Indicating manipulation by some individuals despite their flaws

Good girl, don't be like dem

Encouraging women to be different from those who easily engage in relationships

You cunk kool well tight not use like dem

Highlighting the need for intimacy to be genuine

Man don't spend pon di observe and not classified like dem

Advising not to spend on superficial relationships

Your cunk is not a murderer, nuh stick like dem

Affirming that the woman's intimacy is not harmful like others

Cautioning against negative influences on men

Good woman, beware a dutty seed

Advising women to avoid relationships with unclean men

Cah dutty man seed mek dutty gyal breed

Connecting the character of the man to the outcome of the relationship

Good woman, just keep your heart clean

Encouraging emotional purity in women

Just gwan get purified inna Jah washing machine

Suggesting spiritual cleansing for inner purity

Encouraging women to showcase themselves confidently
