Verse 3
Yo yo (E major) it go
Ever am I (E minor) jamming
My flip (E major) stay conges (E minor) ted
Clinically (E major) tested
Certified (E minor) pure
Gaining more ground (E major) than the (E minor) floor
Before you knew shite
I kicked down your front door
We put drums and b- lines
And stain your inner mind (E major)
Boldly you are struck with
this (E minor) Rootique design
See I don't
Know no (E major) better
(E minor) Than to keep my shit deep (E major)
Ticking over (E minor) time till my week end my sleep
I shun the ways of all sheep- like types
When I grips mics you get pure
blessed strength
Heaven sent, making heathens repent
Push your bad shit back
Here comes the (E major) bap (E minor) tism
(E major) Don't key nuff his instant com
position (E minor) (?)
And there'll be (E major) no backsliding (E minor)

Check my magazine

(E major) must (E minor) get redeemed
(E major) Be
Verse 4

idea (E minor)

Verse 5
Before (E minor) you get the wrong
Start acting wrong strong
If you ever catch me dancing on a table (E major) top
In a thong, in a seedy (E minor) dive
Looking sad (E major) like my
stuff's (E minor) gone wrong
Yeah, for now I look (E major) focussed,
diligent, strong
Point is (E minor) to make me warn ya
That you never know quite
what's around the corner
See, if I had the gift of foresight
Wishing I could tell you, babe,
that it'll be all right
But don't forget to live up
in the hear and now
(E major) While you thinking 'bout
the year two thou'
For the future don't be scared
Be prepared to (E minor) stop chase the
chattels and the (E major) vanity
Get in touch with your soul
and (E minor) spirituality
Before the full calamity is here, my dear
My fire's still burning like a spear
Wildflower, Roots Manuva, make it clear,
make it clear
Verse 6
We make it blouse not (E minor) clear
Verse 7
Before (E minor) you get the wrong idea (E major)

The ex- experts with the expertise
Ain't got (E major) no (E minor) place over here
Before you get the wrong idea
Here's something I got (B major) to make (E minor) clear
The ex- experts with the expertise
Ain't got no place over here
Verse 8
Over (E minor) here. Over where?
I stay pensive
Keep my flex of trashion expensive
Dem A&R stay anally retentive
You tink how I step fras I just
Deal with the matter put
my heart pon plate
White labels in a suitcase
Photocopies of some spiel
and my black face
I'm on the (E major) corner of East Street (E minor)
Yelling, rag and bones style
Greet the man's (E major) with a spud
Greet the skeets with a smile
Frig 'em all,
here stands (E minor) the heart, the balls
So (E major) if you truly sick (E minor) and tired
of the (E major) bullshite hype (E minor)
Back a local man and make a stand
Sing nah
We don't wannabe, (A major) we just (E minor) be
We most uncouth, we un- PC
Kick the sand in your face
The ace is mine
Travelcard in my pocket running
under the Thames
Heading North of the river
to collect two ends
It go
Verse 9
Before (E minor) you get the wrong idea
Here's something I got (B major) to make
(E minor) Something I got to
Before you get the wrong idea
Here's something I got to make clear
The ex- experts with the expertise
Ain't got no place over here
Before you get the wrong idea
Here's something (E major) I got to (E minor) make clear
The ex- experts with the expertise
Ain't got no place over here
Over here
Before you get the wrong idea
Here's something I got to make clear
The ex- experts with the expertise
Ain't got no (B major) place over
here (E minor)
