Big Bad Sound
Chronixx & Chronicle [feat. Chronicle] Lyrics

Tell the people uptown
Addressing the people living in the upscale areas of town

And the one dem downtown
Addressing the people living in the downtown area

The general come round
The main authority figure is present now

String up your big bad sound
Prepare to use the most powerful sound system for playing music

Natty never come down
The dreadlocks adorned individual will never give up or surrender

Ah no me alone
There are others in support

Burning like a fire
Passionate and energetic

Like father like son the general ah pass through
There is a natural succession and resemblance due to patriarchal heritage

Give me little space make me dolly past you
Provide some room to maneuver and advance past the competition

And mi nuh 'fraid fi come grab the mic and slew
Fearless in taking control of the microphone and dominating the stage

'Cah me steamin' up like a ital stew
Heating up rapidly like a vegetable stew

General you wah see ah general here now
Expect to see a leader and authority figure here presently

First class deejay me well phenomenal
Talented and skilled musician

And me ram up any dance with microphone inna mi hand
Energetically dominates any party while holding the microphone

But if ah real general Selassie ah di only one
However, if there's a true leader, only Haile Selassie can be chosen

Haile Selassie I, conquering lion
Haile Selassie I is the conquering king of Ethiopia

Ah from the land of King Solomon
Haile Selassie I is from the land known for King Solomon of Bible history

Reign and rule over Ethiopian
Haile Selassie I is the king of Ethiopia

Reign the believing of the ark of covenant
Continue to believe in the historical artifact known as the Ark of the Covenant

More than the dwellings of Jacob and Abraham
This is more than just lineage but actual accomplishments

So the lord God loveth holy mount Zion
The religious significance of Mount Zion as a sacred site

From Queen of Sheba comes David second
David is believed to be of Ethiopian ancestry from the lineage of the Queen of Sheba

Go notify the Vatican and tell the people
Inform the religious establishment at the Vatican and the public

Come round, come round, come round
Arrived at the location previously addressed

Nuh make me wait when mi come fi mi crown
Don't delay in giving me due respect and recognition

The city hot like a Kingston town
The city is lively and exciting like the Jamaican capital

Zion ah burn like a sun come down
Zion is brightly shining and radiant like the sun

Trumpet loud like ah Stone Love sound
The sound of the trumpet is loud and powerful like the music of the Stone Love sound system

Tongue confess, every knee bow down
Everyone will acknowledge and pay due respect to the authority figure

Tell every king weh ah claim dem ah king
Inform those who claim to be kings that there's only one true king

Haffi make way fi Selassie pickney
Must allow the offspring of Haile Selassie I to advance and not obstruct them

Zion and the terrible they coming with me
The powerful and feared entourage of the dreadlocks is accompanying him

Everything we do ah fi di king glory
All actions are done for the honor and glory of the king

Everywhere we go Jah Jah deh pon di journey
God is present everywhere that they go on their travels

When ah war time we sling ever ready
In times of conflict, they are always ready with their weapon

So by time you look we done everything already
Before you have a chance to properly react, they have already dealt with the situation

Who slew the giant them mi daddy
My father was the one who killed the giants
