Ratchet = hatchet

@ Ceejay. Me too. It depends on what tempo moves you with most reggae and also sometimes which Version you heard 1st. Happens to me all the time. I like the "Harder they Come" version better as well. But I can still skank my ass to this too! Just with a redstripe and spliff rather than than insta-skank as sometimes upbeat tempos' tend to do. Nice Post DiGigantis!

ratchet for pistol, im not impressed with this censorship, omg this original song is suppose to represent the oppression of the west indian people on the seventies. i heard this when the mighty west indies cricket team destroyed their oppersors in england, amazing

@acerza89 do you mean ratchet= pistol think it is ratchet= knife

[Haterkiller]

@acerza89 Hmmm interesting interpretation.. I always thought the song was a reaction against the emergence of rudeboy culture in Jamaica back in the late '60s - early '70s. The cricket story sounds amazing, have you seen Fire Ina Babylon documentary?
