Spice’s song, in general, is aimed at telling an unspecified female detractor that, although they were pretty alike, had good figures and were wealthy, they were still poles apart; that she was seated “at first class” whilst her unworthy opponent could only muster up a seat at the lowly “plane fin”.
However, the section of the song which seems to be stirring the most controversy, and even laughter is her references to “battery dolly”, specifically in the lines: “mi nuh ordinary, mi inna different category/gyal haffi a watch mi like mi a dem inquiry/battery dolly whola dem jus sen fi mi/dem a secondary/di whola dem temporary”.
“Battery” in Jamaica is slang for what in American parlance is known as gang bang/gang rape or running a train, while “battery dolly”—a pejorative term popularized by Beenie Man in a 1999 song of the same name— is an expression for when a single woman has sexual intercourse (whether forced or willingly) with a group of males partners totaling three or more.
