Aint No Dogs

(Scoop-scoop, scoop-scoop)
(Scoop-scoop, scoop-scoop)

Instrumental

Whoo, the royal covenant we make with Jah
Don’t let the barber-man shave off your dreadlocks
Sign of allegiance to the Creator
Are you a conscious lion or a hyena, ki-ki-ki

Ain’t no dogs, we ain’t no bitches
But royal lions and lionesses
We ain’t no dogs, we ain’t no bitches
Majestic emperors and empresses

Don’t give up your more to receive your less
Negativity cursed and positivity blessed
Don’t become a victim of the devil’s caress
Don’t turn your back on life, stop a wishing for death

We ain’t no dogs, we ain’t no bitches
But royal lions and lionesses
We ain’t no dogs, we ain’t no bitches
Majestic emperors and empresses, hey!

Hey yow-yow, what up dog?
Wheh yu a chat bout?!
Brethren, I ‘n I a lion from I-ration!

Instrumental

Listen up mi brothers!
No nigga this and a no nigga that
Emperor Selasie I is where it’s at
So easy for us to fall inna Babylon trap
Put on your crown man it’s more than just a hat, hey

We ain’t no dogs, we ain’t no bitches
But royal lions and lionesses
We ain’t no dogs, we ain’t no bitches
I ‘n I a emperors and empresses

No tat for tit, no tit for tat
Can’t trust blind faith when the facts are the facts
A riddle me this and a riddle me that
If hyena is a dog well ain’t a lion a cat

We ain’t no dogs, we ain’t no bitches
But royal lions and lionesses
We ain’t no dogs, we ain’t no bitches
Majestic emperors and empresses
Hip-hop this mi brethren!

Yow-yow, dirty
Hey, wheh mi seh?! Look like you forget yunno
Cleanliness is next to wha’ … Jah! Jah! Jah! Jah!
Instrumental

I seh you ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki, and then you a ki-ki-ki
A drive-by, a shoot ‘em up just like a big fat bully
But the harder that they come and is the harder that they fall
Don’t let your mama give the under-taker a call
Can train a dog fi do this, just as easy fi do that
But it’s not that easy Babylon with a lionheart cat

A-royal lions and lionesses (lions and lionesses)
Majestic emperors and empresses (emperors and empresses)
Oh royal lions and lionesses (lions and lionesses)

Moors

Them just a run-a-run-a-run fi go bolt down them door
Aow, now-now-now
See them a run-a-run-a-run fi go lock up them window
Lordy, lordy, lord-lord-lord, aah

Instrumental

Whoh it was a real backward time
In the history of our little brother Japhet’s Europe
Whoh-oo-whoh-oh
When the Moors entered Spain
Our brothers they were surely lifted up, uh
Agriculture and trade flourished
along with the arts and sciences
Architecture, hygiene and religious …
Religious tolerance practices, I say

Bolt down your windows, lock up your doors
Here come those dark-skinned Moors
Ruled the land of the Conquistadors
There’d be no Spain as we know it if not for the Moors, hey

They settled in the south, ah, a place called Andalusia
Where the horses come from
Introduced Europe to the brightness of Islamic culture
They did not persecute neither Christian
Neither Christian nor Jew, brought …
Brought sophistication to those people
who still didn’t have a clue, hey

Bolt down your windows, lock up your doors
Here come those dark-skinned Moors
Governed the land of the Conquistadors
There’d be no Spain as we know it if not for the Moors, ugh
But teacher never tell we that

Instrumental

They built public bath-houses complete
Complete with flushing toilets
While the English were going in their basements, uh-oh
Using straw to cover over it
What a stench that must have been
Could you ever imagine
And now our European brothers are catching up
It seems they’re ego-tripping, oh now now now now

Bolt down your windows, lock up your doors, hey
Here come those dark-skinned Moors
Took over the land of the Conquistadors
There would be no Spain as we know it if not for the Moors
Guys like Cortez you lucky!

Instrumental

They introduced the Spaniards to the concept …
The concept of street lights
While the rest of brother Japhet’s Europe
They had never, never seen such a sight, hey
After seven hundred and fifty years
The Conquistadors chased the Moors out
The knowledge and the treasures that the Moors left behind
Them use it inna them new world to gain clout, hey

Bolt down your windows, lock up your doors
Here come those dark-skinned Moors
Uplifted the land of the Conquistadors
There’d be no Spain as we know it if not for the Moors, hey

Bolt down your windows, lock up your doors
(Dark-skinned Moors)
Bolt down your windows, lock up your doors
(No Spain as we know it if not for the Moors)

Lock up your windows, bolt down your doors
(Dark-skinned Moors)
Bolt down your windows, lock up your doors
(No Spain as we know it if not for the Moors)
