    This is an underrated classic right here. One of the many Dancehall Reggae tracks that mixed with Hip Hop. If you don't understand this song. Basically this song is about putting the guns away and fighting with fists. Mad Lion was down with BDP (Boogie Down Productions) KRS One's crew for those youngins that don't know real Hip Hop.
