lyrics

Meet me inside the wire fire light the vision that you know
Meet me inside the wire fire shine the light upon your flow

Boom!
We put the music in the ground and bury deep so no one else will know
Boom!
Peel back concrete on the sidewalk
Pitter-patter footprint of your side-talk
Ear to the ground of my body rock
Rock rock rock steady
Are you ready
We the risk-takers for the fakers
Ready for the money-makers and the movers and the shakers
Lick shots pon di haters
We’re creators and the makers of everything
That you wish you were

We all gettin’ laid like it’s Caddyshack
But AIDS in the mix so check your facts
And you say that it’s love but it will not last
In this world, stay alert and watch your ass
Break it down in a minute then laugh last
And pass it on down the line make that cash
People ask me if I got a job I laugh
But I cam from nowhere so I had to ask
Many different ways to get the same place
We all do our thing at just our own pace
Travel on my own time fuck a rice
And yeah a life of competition is such a waste
Yeah yeah mind erase
A life of competition is such a waste
Never been a competition
Never been a race
Debate fate really why the fate they wait

Happenstance took a chance in the middle
Destro took a toll when it made the crowd giggle
To the riddle of the sphinx big up to the Pharaoh
Sanders got you dusted in fro and cornrow oh

Yeah, we go 365
In the middle of the jungle try to stay alive
Yeah, and I got to just strive
Balance on the telephone wire up high

Hit me on the one time with your one hand out
Boom up di system
Yuh twist and shout

Yeah yeah twist and shout
It’s Evolve and Abiyah, workin’ it out
Thinkin’ that you better not be absurd
I move to my own rhythm not with the herd

You can't hear a word

In 2015 we fly like a bird
Emcees bringing back the power of the word

Fuck what ya heard

Boom!

Meet me inside the wire fire light the vision that you know
Meet me inside the wire fire shine the light upon your flow

Boom!
