Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You could never buy my shine no way,
Talking like you're sheikh or Russian but your funds must have been delayed.
No need for the foreign investment, get the call, shell it down, get payed,
I'm a homegrown talent like Marcus, touch the field, everyone gets slayed,
Touch the game everyone gets hammered,
Feel like jack when i'm in the dance,
From the mountains I came like Haaland,
Got them pacing like they're from France,
Don't trip to the beats I'm balanced,
Jinky jinky I've got them tranced,
I don't stutter my shots I D'D'Dink the keeper I can't be stopped,
Won't catch me with a rock in my hand like David, can't let the streets forget,
Relegation ain't ever an option, I'll fight for the top like the boys in red,
Star boy's act rash so I might just Saka off,
Like Sancho only play for Tens,
Your eleven ain't even on goals but my armies strong like a 1000 men,
Charging Nen,
She threw back and the sounds intense,
Us man are searching for tens of millions,
Then man fight over Pounds and pence,
Sounding class, score or pass, lead my team like I'm Odergard,
Brazilian flare on the pitch you're done cos R9 don't miss he just hits the targ, Yeah
What you thought you were taking over?
You could never buy my shine no way,
Talking like you're sheikh or Russian but your funds must have been delayed.
No need for the foreign investment, get the call, shell it down, get payed,
I'm a homegrown talent like Marcus, touch the field, everyone gets slayed,
Touch the game everyone gets hammered,
Feel like jack when i'm in the dance,
From the mountains I came like Haaland,
Got them pacing like they're from France,
Don't trip to the beats I'm balanced,
Jinky jinky I've got them tranced,
I don't stutter my shots I D'D'Dink the keeper I can't be stopped,
This girl comes from brum, but fond of the overseas like Bellingham,
Took a flight to Madrid, posting its wild, that's all she's telling em,
She's never heard no in her life, had it all, no stress, she's elegant,
In Spain but thought she's on safari when she saw this.
Step In the club they dance to freeze like Jogadinha do Paqueta,
My girls got tech like Lauren and Reece it's clear to see they can't mess with her,
You went double O 7 in the league got sent back to cunch on a free transfer,
Can't beat man for quickness, turn man statistics, set it and shoot like Neymar,
What you thought you were taking over?
You could never buy my shine no way,
Talking like you're sheikh or Russian but your funds must have been delayed.
No need for the foreign investment, get the call, shell it down, get payed,
I'm a homegrown talent like Marcus, touch the field, everyone gets slayed,
Touch the game everyone gets hammered,
Feel like jack when i'm in the dance,
From the mountains I came like Haaland,
Got them pacing like they're from France,
Don't trip to the beats I'm balanced,
Jinky jinky I've got them tranced,
I don't stutter my shots I D'D'Dink the keeper I can't be stopped,
The lyrics to C.R.I.$.I.$.'s song Taking Over appear to be a celebration of Rastafarian culture, specifically the reggae music associated with it. The first couple of lines feature a repetition of the phrase "su su come," which is likely a reference to the rhythm and percussive sound of reggae music. The line "Fire bun deeem" is a common phrase in Rastafarian culture, meaning to burn away negativity and promote positivity. The next lines mention "Natty dread," which is a term used to describe Rastafarians who have not cut their hair, as it is seen as a symbol of their connection to nature and their African roots. The lyrics then shift to the idea of taking over, which could refer to gaining power and influence in society, but could also suggest a spiritual takeover, as Rastafarianism emphasizes the idea of personal transformation and enlightenment.
The lyrics continue to reference the struggles and challenges faced by Rastafarians, such as being looked down upon by those who have "got something in hand" while they have nothing. However, the song affirms that Natty Dread is "taking over" and will not get weary in their pursuit of success and spiritual growth. The repeated refrain of "Jah" and the invocation of "Black people" as a collective entity suggest that this takeover is not just personal, but has broader political and social implications. The final lines suggest that victory is at hand and that Natty Dread is rising up to claim their rights and influence.

Oh, I cannot explain
Every time it's the same
Oh, I feel that it's real
Take my heart
I've been lonely too long
Oh, I can't be so strong
Take a chance for romance
Take my heart
I need you so
There's no time
I'll ever go
Cheri Cheri Lady
Goin' through emotion
Love is where you find it
Listen to your heart
Cheri Cheri Lady
Livin' in devotion
It's always like the first time
Let me take a part
Cheri Cheri Lady
Like there's no tomorrow
Take my heart, don't lose it
Listen to your heart
Cheri Cheri Lady
To know you is to love you
If you call me baby
I'll be always yours
I get up and get down
Oh, my world turns around
Who is right? Who is wrong?
I don't know
I've got pain in my heart
Got a love in my soul
Easy come but I think easy go
I need you so
All those times
I'm not so strong
