Yo, ATCQ, Massive and crew
Bars to any beat, we beat the beat for true
Massengale MC’s, you smell like pussy stew
Don’t let it be you, man up my youth
Phife, you should’ve spoke of, man you’re in the mode of
Leave that to me, el-Hajj Malik
The man with a plan who made it real for us all
Like Marauders on a mission when we killin’ dancehalls
Mmm, Saga boy, Trini man
Ride out when mic is in mi hand
Loved all of mi fans, one, two, three of dem all of the gang
With a couple pound a weed and a couple dollar van
Hmm, broke pockets, find another plan
Yeah, cyan dun, push up on a man
And big up the sound man
Dibby dibby DJ walk
Ayo most of them ah talk
They don’t want no prob, they don’t want no etch a outline
Inna bloodclot chalk
Earlier in the night when we bring out the music
With a box and a band killer sound boy movement
Live and direct when it all goes down
You an idiot boy, you don’t wanna f*ck round
Big tune make the world go round
Make way fi di soundboy crown
Dem fi know we di wickedest sound
One box off in your face make a sound boy frown
Sound
Solid wall of sound, solid wall of sound
Solid wall of sound, solid wall of sound
Solid wall of sound, solid wall of sound
Solid wall of sound, solid wall of sound
Sound checking, a million watts are shaking the room
In just a few hours you’re gonna feel the burn
All of the goons are checking their guns at the door
A solid wall of sound is here on tour
It’s gonna get loud
So no phones allowed
It’s gonna get loud
So no phones allowed
