Rude Boy

Johnny Clarke

[Intro]
I don't want to be no rude boy
No, I don't want to be no bad man
'Cause my mama always tell me that I was born to be a great man

[Verse 1]
Every time she come to me, she always tell me about my life
God knows how I feel about my mama, about my mama
I don't want no one to hold me
No, I don't want no one to stop me
No, I don't want no one to push me around (Oh no)

[Chorus]
No, I don't want to be no rude boy
No, I don't want to be no bad man
No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no-no-no

[Verse 2]
Some people always tell me I'm a man of dignity
And I don't want nobody to tell me what to do
No, I don't want no one to push me around (Oh no)
Say, if you live by the gun, you die by the gun
So youths of today just be good

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to be no rude boy
No, I don't want to be no bad man
No, I don't want to be no rude boy
No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no-no-no

[Verse 3]
Some people always tell me I'm a man of dignity
And I don't want nobody to tell me what to do
No, I don't want no one to push me around (Oh no)
Say, if you live by the gun, you die by the gun
So youths of today just be good

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to be no rude boy
No, I don't want to be no bad man
No, I don't want to be no rude boy
No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no-no-no
No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no-no-no

[Outro]
No, I don't want to be no rude boy
No, I don't want to be no bad man
No, I don't want to be no rude boy
No, I don't want to be no bad man
