| Again and again and again, we come fi improve ya
|
| (Oh hear we, oh hear we!)
|
| Again and again and again, we bust a big groove Manuva
|
| (Lord!)
|
| A lot of people don’t know about Smith
|
| How I came to the scene, and came to uplift!
|
| Eradicatory sanctions of righteousness
|
| Pentecostal son, coming from the heartlands
|
| With every breath and every noun
|
| We dare not stop burning Babylon down
|
| With every penny, every pound
|
| Reflective of the rebel heart and the rebel sound
|
| Dedication to dem life and dem causes
|
| I did dem tours and settled those scores now
|
| I’m back at the drawing board
|
| And I’m sketching out two plans with two crystal balls
|
| I see the future and the culture looks corroded
|
| Lose that chap, man. |
| But them dudes are just posers
|
| I don’t know where to show this
|
| So I’m about to bring that back
|
| Whether we chant, rap or sing that back
|
| It go
|
| Anytime we chant that ting, you know we rap that ting!
|
| We just might clap that ting, but
|
| We ain’t on some boasting about
|
| We gotta make moves, no loafing about!
|
| He ain’t got no clout, she ain’t got no clout
|
| Still they wanna come here, come run up their mouth!
|
| They wanna know what Manuva’s about:
|
| Check my catalogue, you’ll see with no doubt!
|
| We don’t sell out, but we sell a tune or two
|
| Beaten by a wooden spoon or two
|
| But the pain that break me is the pain that make me
|
| And the pain that take me is the pain that help me maintain
|
| Life ting in the frame you know
|
| We’re straight kicking the bin — it go
|
| I don’t know where the soul is
|
| So I’m about to bring that back
|
| Whether we chant, rap or sing that back
|
| It go
|
| Food? |
| Well
|
| And clothes? |

| Whose shoes? |
