Com help,,,,who has the lyrics to "OH MR DC" the staple diet at any sugar concert.

time so rough
and time so tough
time so rough

coming from the country with my bag of collie
walk up on a DC, him want fe hold me
don't you run now youthman, you won't get away
if you slip you will die, and if you run you can't hide
but I've got my dip(? actually kinda sounds like dick, but IDK...) stuck right in my hip, yeah

whoa-oa-oa DC
don't you take my ishen
whoa-oa-oa DC
don't you touch my collie
whoa-oa-oa DC

the children crying for hunger and I-man a suffer
so you got to see, it's just collie that feeds me
fifty cents a stick, and a dollar a quarter
that's what keeps me alive, me and my two kids and wife
so give me a chance sir, a make me gwan little faster
so let me pass through, and Jah will bless you

chorus

------------------

I feel there's another verse, but that's all I can remember.

Just what I was after Don, cleared a few lyrics up for me there.
JAH BLESS

If someone can clear up the last verse, I'd be happy.

I'm with you Leggo, clip of bullets I think.

>walk up on a DC

buck up on a DC (district constable)

>if you slip you will die, and if you run you can't hide

if you slip you will slide,
and if you run you can't hide

rhymes better...

somehow i always heard that other part:

>stuck right in my hip

as stop writing my ep

kind of making it up though, as in epitath, probably not spelled right but meaning basically obituary as in the guy is caught and gonna be dead to the world.

probably not though.

it might be clearer if one listens to one of many remakes of the tune like the one for black and white label.

one love

Its driving me nuts ! I have E mailed Sugar at his web site to try and get it from the horses mouth, so to speak, but sadly had no reply.Personaly I like "clip" as it makes sense.So until Sugar clears it up for us all, lets rejoice with what ever lyrics we want !!!!!!

I allways thought he said dip

I'ts stick as in stick of sensi, hes hiding his herb. check a live version its clearer. Rip sugar guidance and I- tection.
