Brown Paper Bag
Roni Size & Reprazent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Step to the rhythm made out of brown paper, sounds entering of a different nature,
Rhythms get greater, And the rhythms they get greater, Yes another rough-a-tough
Four for the chaser, New configuration, New riff and New Structure
Built on the frame that'll hold the room puncture, Tight
We wrap it up, it's wrapped, tightly.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm

It lives, The bass is the army that it gives.
When we apply the breaks, There'll be no skids.
Just more elements to continue as we glide.
Dimensions & The Measurements and the evidence you will find
Change it, rearrange it so its regularly updated
Hits from every angle so expected the un-expected
Represent the fusion of the mind and stay connected
The star that is presenting, The size of the markers been indented

Delivering the style we give you so that means a mention
In your direction is the baron that we aimed, ascension
Instead the way the floor the stunner made a we invention
And then you get your moneys worth before you've even sensed it
Make you think a four figure for the whole nation
Send it down so one we know it with no discrimination
Like a safe with 50 locks, as many combination
No matter which way that you turn you reach the same destination.

The fullness of the spectrum, 360 keep it circling
Deep inside the flow is where its working it
Under lease, submerging it, time to make it go deeper
Way past the point that blows holes in your speaker
Under and over, take it over and under
First you get the lightning and then you get the thunder
The sound is the music and the music is the feature

Mmmmmmmmmmmm

Step to the rhythm made out of brown paper, sounds entering of a different nature,
Rhythms get greater, And the rhythms they get greater, Yes another rough-a-tough
Four for the chaser, New configuration, New riff and New Structure
Built on the frame that'll hold the room puncture, Tight
We wrap it up, it's wrapped, tightly.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm

Step step step step step step step step step step
Paper paper paper paper paper
Step step step step step step step step step step
P-P-Paper paper paper paper paper
Mmmmmmmmmmmm
Step step step step step step step step step step
Step to the rhythm made out of brown paper
Step.(Etc till end)"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Roni Size / Reprazent's song "Brown Paper Bag" offers a deep insight into the nature of music and the power of rhythms. The opening verse encourages us to "Step to the rhythm made out of brown paper," suggesting a stratum of sound and music that lies beneath the surface of everyday life. The use of the phrase "sounds entering of a different nature" suggests that we are taking a journey into the heart of new and previously unexplored sounds. As the rhythms get greater, we are introduced to a series of new configurations, riffs, and structures that combine to create a complex and powerful soundscape.


At its core, "Brown Paper Bag" is a tribute to the captivating nature of music and the powerful emotions it can evoke. The bass is described as an "army" that gives life to the music, and as we "step to the rhythm," we are transported to a place where dimensions and measurements no longer seem to matter. The lyrics suggest that the music is constantly evolving, being rearranged and updated so that it can hit us from unexpected angles. In this way, the song encourages us to stay connected to the power of music, which can elevate and transform us in ways that we might never have imagined.

First time I heard this was at a party in Sheffield in 1997-8 visiting a friend at the uni. All his friends were together in a large dimly lit room and there was a DJ. It was post-acid house and rave era and people were serious about their drum and bass. The ragga had diversified into atmosheric and jazz and it was multicultural as well, Indian experimental stuff among others. The people were very friendly and had dreadlocks or crazy spiky hair and quirky looking baggy clothes with lots of pockets to hide drugs in. The air was thick with weed smoke and someone passed me a spliff the size of my forearm, which had buds in that crackled sweet juice when you inhaled. Everything looked like it was glitching in slow motion and I could hear the layers clearly separated in the music, surrounding me and washing over me. The DJ dropped this track and I was like holy shite wtf is this!!! Every single little hair on my body stood on end with the endorphin rush that went up through the back of my head and down through my arms and nose. I looked down at myself and realised I was no longer sitting on the floor smoking - I was now on my feet and dancing with everyone else. I'm so glad I was there. I do hope young people today have similar.
