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...dem 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 dem 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
|

|
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
|
