The Fear Lyrics

Cover art for The Fear lyrics by Skindred

Not really. Rude boys were originaly gangsters in Jamaica around the time when ska was becoming popular. They often used to operate outside the law, stealing and offering protection for money etc. It was all something to do with the political changes that were going on at the time. Later on, the ska listeners of Jamaica then adopted the gangster style and the Rude Boy name for themselves. I suggest you look it up, 'cause I'm being very vague!

I suppose in this song he's telling the rude boys to take their underhand mob business elswhere.
