Biga Ranx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A new struggle a come with a new strive for me '
Got to give thanks to the people who came before me
And we celebrating this smoking kush berry
Lord keep my self away from dirty poverty
‘Cause there's nothing that the system wanna offer me
My head can't stand the mascarade but it still over me
Lord GOD cover me
X2
And some say it's just a day
Another day ordinary
But the life for me is such a miracle
I've got to give thanks and praise
I give thanks everyday so the blessings multiply
Overfly Biga*Ranx the Lord I straight glorify
You stay stupefy and u can't deny
Telly*Brigante number one qualify
We get the teaching and the lesson from the ol' samourai
Represent for the zulu and the raggamuffin tribe
Bus it over Glasgow and over Shangai
For simplify my life they can't uglify
X2
They wan't me live miserable
They wanna divide my gaggle
Still me struggle on the battle
No they can't stop my hustle
Peer street music no Scottish waggle traggle
I don't want no ordinary living kind a trouble
So easy Telly*Brigante you come terrible
And anything you do you do it as a sample
Born and me raise as a JAH disciple
Now dance till you cripple
Wa dad dang deng
