single, 1969
Written by Desmond Dekker and Leslie Kong
The song's title is Jamaican patois meaning "that's why" or "that's the reason." The phrase was also used as a schoolyard taunt roughly meaning "that's what you get." This is the sense used in the song's lyrics, which tell of the problems that happens when someone goes too far: "You think I never see you when you jump over de wall / You think I never see you when you accidentally fall / Me said a it mek, mek you pop yu bitta gall."
