I've been to Jamaica a couple of times and have become aware of some of their slang terms. A duppy is an evil spirit that comes to you in your dreams. It can haunt your soul and try and defeat you as a person. Such dreams are considered to be bad luck in Jamaica. Bob said when he was alive that he had the same ghost visit him several times and then all of the sudden he conquered it and the dreams stopped. This song is about conquering duppy's which not many people have said they have done.
