it's freedom of speech...
gone mad. mad, i tells ya!
i think you'll find its
a reference to batman.
Its about admiring a woman's arse you silly sod !
Batty = Arse or bottom.
Batty boy = Gay man.
Batty Rider = short shorts riding up over the - ahem - batty of the girl in question.
Check this link out - its pretty clear to me that he's not talking about killing anybody.

sorry you seem to have
posted a link to a translated version
Made perfect sense to me 8=)
Mind you Buju Banton IS an arrogant bigot, just not in this particular song.
I'm not sure why I'm finding those lyrics so funny...
t cyan, hol inna buk it cyan, hol inna pan
I-dren wayney wonder cry fi a fraction
Buju Banton waan fi know, a weh she get it from
Battyrider di gal a use, an a mad man
Without di battyrider, Jacqueline nah go out
If har face nah seh one, di body fi a shock out
So she a go check har dress mega, later dung a south
Dance seh around, an she waan fi shock
Model pon har mate, an dance all a pole
Do dib ogle dance an push up har mouth
because...
...they're unreadable?
DO DIB OGLE DANCE!
Genius
"So she a go check har dress mega
Later dung a south"
That is fucking awesome.
I-DREN WAYNEY WONDER CRY FI A FRACTION!
Dang, I thought it said 'Bogle' at one point
No-one cares about gays.
As a country, we don't feel guilty enough about persecuting them in the past, so they get overlooked by the "OH MY GOD HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT?" brigade.
:D
ok, what's the fuss about?
DO DIB OGLE DANCE!
!
Ah just over the dickie the girls a gwaan bad
Any how them noh get it, them will act mad
Ah just over the dickie the girls a gwaan bad
Any how them noh get it, them will act ...
Watch this!!!
Ah over the dickie dickie Jackie get stab
And get burn up with acid bad, bad, bad
Look sweet, dark, nice, but them ah guineagog
Naah run noh risk when it come to them rag (rod?)
Rule them man like how Moses rule him rod
Ah gal brush them man, she end up in a body bag
