Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jammin´ fiesta we champions
Everybody yell the anthem
yes we stand & deliver
Jammin´ fiesta we champions
Everybody yell the anthem
yes we stand & deliver
We´ve dug for the gold and mined for the diamonds
Fought in the trenches relentlessly grindin´
Don´t lose religion to feed the urge
We´ve sought definition I´ve said every word
A hundred novels hear the gospel of the kindred
I´m a novelty hip hop´s instinc to my nature
Like Bunny, Bob Marley & Peter to the Wailers
Like water sailors and latin to the Moors
Chorus Repeats
Verse 2
The forced payoff was ordered by the mob boss
Job layoff came back with a molitoff
So piss off you´re buggin´ me with shit talk
You´re liquor liftoff is taking this a bit far
Even I be starting to drift off envision us parting ways and you get lost
Birth´s at midnight - murder´s at noon
They found Religion in the emergency room
Don´t wait till it´s too late give them their flowers
I´ve said it before a reminder every hour on the news
Showerd by who´s gone and left here
Pain is sour sweet memories next year
Plowed the field once - Worked the yard now we
Posse up to form international guard shall we
Act as a unit with grip on the objective
Yall dance to the music any clique that tou reppin
