As far as I can tell:
"Don't deal with tribalist and malice.
Cause you won't be able to hit the chalice in the palace like Mr. Wallace."

I think Braces was another sound in Jamaica at the time, so the tune is a sound bwoy tune hence "Braces a bwoy". Wicked tune, one of Dillinger's best, and it don't get re-pressed on 45 too often!
