Fight the good fight
This for when we would defend our peoples light
Hold that look again
Then the home team might win
I got your back 'cause give me a sign of trust
If you could hold that look again with a mind like smooth lightning
I feel safer I'd be better nature
If there was someone that I knew on the top floor of the world
May be I wouldn't act on cue
Like all those times before oh
I'm out on a limb I'm standing out
Don't care who sees
convincing myself before someone else confuses me
not to hold that look again so the home team might win I got your back 'cause give me a sign of trust
if you could
hold that look again with a mind like smooth lightning
I feel safer I’d be better nature
If there was someone that I knew on the top floor of the world
maybe I wouldn’t act on queue
like all those times before
If there was someone that I knew on the top floor of the world
maybe I wouldn’t act on queue
like all those times before
oh
To big myself up me no need no inferiority complex
could ever cloud my dreams
when Storm comes Xavier merely called a meeting for a fleeting moment
refract the light with me convex lens for focus
stay tuned to this T.V M.C 'cause we rocking world wide we coming ‘round the country
too many front row seats for non paying
M.C’s eagerly awaiting
sedated
masses of eyeballs and flesh in a trance ready to make you hoooo by the next broadcast but what ? representing from my own satellite Villajahs reruns all night emitting the signal a galaxy to explore we boldly flow where all Rastas flow before never alone role with crew boys come phat big budget large movie with full cast no intermission strictly Ital-ness from the start Judah the functioning of the heart what what what
If there was someone that I knew on the top floor of the world
may be I wouldn’t act on queue
like all those times before
If there was someone that I knew on the top floor of the world
may be I wouldn’t act on queue
like all those times before

In "Top Floor," Che-Fu reminisces about the days when they used to fight the good fight and defend their people's light. He talks about the importance of holding on to that confidence and trust in one another, which helps them win as a team. The phrase "hold that look again" refers to the determined, focused expression that they have when they are fully committed to a cause. The repetition of the line "if you could hold that look again with a mind like smooth lightning" emphasizes the importance of staying sharp and focused.
Che-Fu then goes on to reflect on how his behavior might have been different if he knew someone on the top floor of the world, meaning someone with significant influence or power. He wonders if he would have acted differently in certain situations, indicating that he may have been more reserved or guarded in his actions.
The song's lyrics are open to interpretation and can be seen as a commentary on power dynamics, the importance of teamwork, and the challenges of staying true to oneself in different situations. The catchy beat and memorable chorus make it an enduring favorite among fans.

I don't need to feel inferior and doubt myself. When there are challenges, I will gather people together and focus on a solution. We are spreading our message globally and visiting different parts of the country.
too many front row seats for non paying M.C's eagerly awaiting sedated masses of eyeballs and flesh in a trance ready to make you hoooo by the next broadcast but what ?
There are too many people who want to be in the spotlight without paying their dues. The audience is passive and hypnotized, waiting for entertainment, not real substance.

I am broadcasting my own message, and it reaches far and wide. We are moving forward with confidence on the path that many have tread before us. We are all in this together, living a healthy and natural lifestyle. It's all about having a strong, righteous heart.
