Default Anyone from (or speak) Jamaica? Need a little translating help...

Me and a buddy of mine have been trying to figure out what this guy is singing:


In about 1min flat, he sings something like "king selassie (whoa) a real *** ***"

Can`t figue it out... Taf fanaar? Taffa man? And what would it mean?

Thanks in advance!

Found that too, but this part is further up in the song, those cover only a small patch of it...
