Lyrics Beenie Man – Back Against The Wall

Whoa, na, na, yeah, yeah, ya zagga, nagga, now, now
Oh lord, well, I gotta friend called Tony
Who been build a one (?) from mi was a baby
His nickname afta dat is money

As a juvenile in di ghetto were growin’ up
Their big guns wanted boy have showin’ us
And they keep tell him everyday that gun is no toy
Till policeman back him up

Shoot out his way, escape, he’s fabulous
Jamaican most wanted, he’s dangerous
People dem a say this is one cantankerous boy

Hey, but now di back against di wall
(Back against di wall)
