lyrics

Just like suh Mister Tee, yu nuh fi gwaan suh, I man just come fi beg yu a likkle job
Yu can do operating work, sir?
(Yu can do operating work?)
Right now, I cyaa operate, but I will cooperate
(Yow, we can do anyting)
(Yu zeet)

Alright. I going show yu. See di bass bud here. Forward di bass.

Forward di bass

Yow yow
I par wid pot smokers, top growers
That meet their crop quota, sensi, not coca
Leave the scene steaming like it's hot mocha
We got sober, visits to stock brokers
The block soldiers say we a lot doper
This the music Glock toters fire shots over
More rounds than the days in October
My gang, I ran like the Ayatollah
I write ebola, I shine 'cause my light is solar
My suns do kung fu, you can't fight wit yoga
Never hit it if it got the Pisces odour
I'm Nasty as Esco and nice as Hova (Hov)
Fuck the right exposure, send my prices over
Catch flights, I'm packing like a licensed holder
Crowds' hands in the air like a heist, a hold up
Spitting punches, I make Tyson fold up

Take 'em to school like Five Star folders
Wake up and smell the Folgers, I never seen a holster
My dawg left his shit in the car if not the waist
He beat the case, left without a trace
Set the pace, so sick, I’ll tell you how the meds taste
Watch my sales eclipse the US Corona death rate
We legislate, dem ah group up and investigate
How I gain success, whips and homes by the lake
While we was out, you spent holidays in church
When I was broke, I had to do Operating Work
You let them lie to you, sit and pray for an outcome
I spit life facts, so now they hating the album
Cause the truth hurts, it’s just too much
Blast at the Ku Klux, dig up ten graves, dress 'em in blue tux
Dem nuh ready fi the onslaught
Council of the Gods on charts score board four naught, pussy claat

Elite architect of street projects
My flow is a unique process wid each concept
Unidentified flying object, I'm leap frogging
Speak toxins in Logic if the beat locked in
This nigga weak, why they reaching like he's top ten (Why?)
Complete nonsense, my defense delete options
So, if dem violate like 24 seconds
It's gettin more hectic, out the Heckler or Desert
Bless the raw record with respect for core ethics (Whoo)
Percentage off a sentence, then it's best to talk leverage
Like Volkswagen in Aventador's presence
Niggaz insecure when they get the horse revving
If I stay charged up, is it better for a Tesla?
Never ketch the God stressing offa lesser orchestra (Never)
Diamond testers in the lecture cost extra
When I drop a gem and then finesse the lost treasure (Uh huh)

Governments bless the bomb before they're sent.
This happens from the top down... the Government down... this is our answer.
Makes me realize the solution may have to come from the bottom up.
Is anyone working on a bomb that will make people love you?
Maybe a Cupid bomb?
I believe we already have it and it's called music.
And every country has their own version of it.
And it works. It brings people together. You don't have to know a thing about it to get it.
It's a language. It's a lifestyle. And it can save the world.
I'm a musician and I hope you will join me on the battlefield. Thank you.
