  • a song from the british rapper Roots Manuva from his 1999 album "Brand new second hand"...
    Lyrics:
    I bring you tents and girth to this homegrown range
    Bona fide what you hear, tis the sound of pain
    But pain leads to gain so we dare not stagnate
    We elevate to that next state, motion divine
    Glisten like crystal ball and stand tall
    With this knowledge and overstanding
    Enterprise landing, bringing dem new brands of buff
    Yes, we come proper with potency
    Ain't no blood in my body, it's liquid soul in my vein
    I dance on a thin line of sane and deranged
    And it's all criss once I get neatly in the cipher
    Chat like pickney to the piper that pied
    As this natural mystic blows through the air
    These lessons of life become crystal clear
    Precision of my vision is ital
    Separating sharks from the blessed is vital
    Now I can smell a rat coming from a mile round the corner
    One time I bored ya, twice you can't couf
    No, we won't stop rebuke thee
    You satanics, you fools can't recruit me
    Not now while there's
    [Chorus]
    Movements fi make, typhoons grew
    Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through
    Movements fi make, typhoons grew
    Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through
    Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right
    I'll slap the bacon out your mouth, dance upon your sarnie
    Rolling with Jah bredren dem, God-blessed army
    How the hell you gon stop this tide from steady coming
    Run and catch in tune with the elements
    At speed we proceed, traction for action
    Hot 125, government goons get dashed to the side
    Too big to slide now, though they try to disguise
    I can still recognize devilworks when I see it
    Weakheart disciples keep weakheart friends
    Always had a hate for what their weakhearts defend
    They fiend for that crack, ain't no one to tax
    We might run home and smoke a brown bag of seed
    Best believe that these times is treacherous
    And I know not how else I'm supposed to act
    But stand close to culture roots-fi
    See me getting deft with that two-step shuffle
    Haggling others who for the cause
    Reigning with that roots type terror
    Freaking at your weakhearty era but
    We build, move and prove that we don't suffer fools
    [Chorus 2x]
