2)why you hit me for? you wah see i damage yuh face or something?!
you play mad! touch a b-tton nah, see what will happen
the phrase means, “lets fight”. it is calling a person out for a physical confrontation.
this phrase was not originated, coined, or started by vybz kartel. vybz kartel remade bingie general’s song “touch a b-tton nuh”. general bingie took the beat for “touch a b-tton nuh” from sugar ray’s song “bubblin’ pot”
the phrase may have deeper roots than that.
why you looking at me crossed? you vexing me. touch a b-tton now.
