My son, we come to take over

Yeah, you know, we on and on, oh, well, now
B-b-baow, b-b-b-b-boaw, war, war, war connection, na, na

Nuff a dem a come and dem a try dog we out
Born down pill we a di ruffneck scouts
Music we make fi make the crowd jump up
Crowd get hype, explode and erupt
Blend up the ragga metal punk hip-hop
Unity sound killer, groove non-stop
Inna fi this place a so the strong will survive
Strength and power a gon' keep dem alive

My son, we come to take over
MC, you better look over your shoulder
Yeah, you know, we on and on, oh, well, now

Bring the ruckus, you know we superior

On and on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on

Nobody gets out a this shark pit alive

Nobody gets out a this shark pit alive

Nobody gets out a this shark pit alive
Nobody, nobody gets out alive
Nobody gets out a this shark pit alive
Nobody, nobody gets out alive

Some a dem a come and dem a try flex with this
Show them the ragga punk power, watch dem head twist
Sting like a scorpion buzz like an E
Full force of fist it a go drop plenty
This is what we want and you have got to know
If you think you're hard, star, come and have a go

My son, we come to take over
MC, you better look over your shoulder
