a reference to batman.
Its about admiring a woman's arse you silly sod !
Batty = Arse or bottom.
Batty boy = Gay man.
Batty Rider = short shorts riding up over the - ahem - batty of the girl in question.
Check this link out - its pretty clear to me that he's not talking about killing anybody.

sorry you seem to have
posted a link to a translated version
Made perfect sense to me 8=)
Mind you Buju Banton IS an arrogant bigot, just not in this particular song.
I'm not sure why I'm finding those lyrics so funny...
t cyan, hol inna buk it cyan, hol inna pan
I-dren wayney wonder cry fi a fraction
Buju Banton waan fi know, a weh she get it from
Battyrider di gal a use, an a mad man
Without di battyrider, Jacqueline nah go out
If har face nah seh one, di body fi a shock out
So she a go check har dress mega, later dung a south
Dance seh around, an she waan fi shock
Model pon har mate, an dance all a pole
Do dib ogle dance an push up har mouth
because...
...they're unreadable?
DO DIB OGLE DANCE!
Genius
"So she a go check har dress mega
Later dung a south"
That is fucking awesome.
I-DREN WAYNEY WONDER CRY FI A FRACTION!
Dang, I thought it said 'Bogle' at one point
No-one cares about gays.
As a country, we don't feel guilty enough about persecuting them in the past, so they get overlooked by the "OH MY GOD HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT?" brigade.
:D
ok, what's the fuss about?
DO DIB OGLE DANCE!
