Now hear this crowd of people

I man well vex

And just have fe big up me chest

Cause the Taxi Driver don't have no respect

Want I fe catch bus hop truck and

Ride bike and stand up on the road

And hitch hike

But you see me...*** deh things can't go on

Cause Natty Dread RIDE THE STORM CHORUS

Taxi Driver

Won't stop for me

Whenever I flag him down

He won't stop for me DJ BUMBO BROWN

In a London city and in a New York

There are no go areas after dark

I say muggers on the streets

And thief in the park

Tramps pon the sidewalk

A *** a sky lark

Some a catch the taxi - when they reach

Their spot

Pretend to pay the driver

And then they just run off

Some a argue with the driver

And say the fare aint right

The next thing you know

They have a kitchen knife CHORUS

Taxi Driver

Won't stop for me

Whenever I flag him down

He won't stop for me To hail a cab

You got to be fast

You try to catch a taxi

But they just drive past DAVID DREAD

The taxi-cab driver never stop for me

They got all kind of excuses up his sleeve

Some say they off duty

Some say they not free

The taxi cab driver never stop for me

Because of my dreadlocks looking wild

They think I'm a mugger of some bad guy

No they never stop they just pass me by

They treat me like a leper

Who's left to die Yo! Excuse me mate can you get me a taxi

Is that the driver

Boy...Jungle DJ BUMBO BROWN

You think that bad

Mek I tell you what the brute

Do to me youth

Well I was walking with my son

Who was just a child

And still the Taxi Driver

Won't give me a ride

He was caught by the traffic lights

And had to slow down

So I opened the back door

And sat my son down

So he tried his best to

Stop me from coming in

I say move yourself man

And start your driving

He was very angry

But he asked where to

I said take me to the station

My train leaving soon

So guess what he did to me

Just for spite

He stopped at every single traffic light

He took the wrong turn

And the long way too

He stopped at the bar

Just to use the loo

When I got to the station

It was all in vain

Good golly good gosh

I say I miss my train Me kick up the taxi

Me kick up the Taxi Driver

Me lick up the taxi

Me lick up the Taxi Driver

Not stopping

He just not stopping
