Black Safi man
Inna real sick town
You clean and wash
All the dirt off around
Cheasy-man livin' in the dockside
Day by day steal for crack and cocaine
Looking for another Cucu-man
You empty your pockets, no money no food
The dirty work you do
I'm calling you brother
You work to fool the others
The ones you're calling brothers
In Mangrove groove
Right in Stone Town
In Mangrove groove
Cheasy-man tickled by the hunger
Day by day steal for crack and cocaine
Wandering around in the market lanes
While scoopin' out pockets you're feeding your pain
Watch yourself
Another day is comin'
Even today is good
To chance a new journey
And what you gonna do now?
You jump in the backyard
You want to rob the others
The ones you're callin' brothers
In Mangrove groove
And what am I to do now?
With you in my backyard
I do not need this bother
I look for Safi brother's skanking tunes
In Mangrove groove
Right in Stone Town
In Mangrove groove
Black Safi man
Inna real sick town
You clean and wash
All the dirt off around
(Stone Town)
In Mangrove groove
(Stone Town)
Right in Stone Town
