For blad clat, maybe, but I don't see how that would fit in where it was put either.

This bits all to do with race i think.

I should play my bass and stop burnin' money.(????)

He should play his bass guitar and stop wasting money, maybe.

They said it just aint right, but when a caucasian man records a competent song they don't have a problem;must be an oversight(????)

When a white man records a decent song they dont moan.

A load of nonsense.

Just drive around mon: bluke that, cool running. (Bluke????)

Just drive around man, i thinks it might be supposed to be blad clat then cool running is just a blatent mention of that film about the jamaican bobsleigh team.

it is on now. (????)

I think he means the fight is on because in the video the rasta start beating him up.


But mostly I'd just point out this one:
I can spout gibberish and it'll go gold.

I think this is the main idea behind the song ......

Also terrible impression of a black person.

Those are the sections I was quite unsure on whether or not I wrote them correctly.

You've got this white Canadian, who'd probably never even met a black guy, making this Reggae song with lyrics like "a licky boom boom down" and he makes it a huge hit! Brilliant. The guy had impressive flow, too, no doubt. And it was catchy. I'm down.

Hey yo Snow, they came around here lookin' for you the other day.
Yeah, whatever.
It's the rastas, they say you took something that belonged to them, and man, they're gonna kick your white a--.

Imposter, I'm just a middle class white kid from Toronto, despite of how I sound.
Single white and black and bigger the money and jimmy and yellowman but im not even mulatto.
my reggaes watered down.
Hear me on the radio, think I could not be blacker but on my video you see, I'm really a cracker;
pretending I was a rasta since I was in jammies.
I should play my bass and stop burnin' money.
You can criticize me all the way to the bank, my singles number one and Shabba don't rank.
I wanna kick Ice-T off the label for dissin' the cops.
They said it just aint right, but when a caucasian man records a competent song they don't have a problem;
must be an oversight. All the jamaicans think I gave them a bumsteer, but everything I know I learned from
an auctioneer. The bidding will start at seven for this here Gauguin.  Eight, do I hear eight? Nine, who'll
give me ten? I got ten, ten going once, going twice, sold.
I can spout gibberish and it'll go gold. I am what I am and that's all that I am.
Skiddilybopenbebop abeebopdebo
Day-o day-o
me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-o
I rap in your songs with the best of my ability, you need a black man to increase the credibility.
When put on the spot, I side with the rastas because shawn aint down with no imposter.
Imposter, like Vanilla Ice, the people are sick of me.  They put my boom boom down.
In four months, my but'll be back in Canada working a day job with a burger crown.

Would you-  Would you- Would you like fries with that; a hot apple pie with that?
Just drive around mon: bluke that, cool running.
Ahh! Hey mon, you wouldn't hit a man with glasses, would ya mon?
I'm warning you mon, I shot the sheriff.
it is on now.

If so, let me know which lines you think you know better.  I tried, there are still a few lines I don't really understand though...
