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



DAVID DREAD

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
