Two Sevens Cash
Culture & Anthony B Lyrics

Wat a liiv an bambaie
What a life and commotion

When the two sevens clash
When something important or significant happens

My good old prophet Marcus Garvey prophesize, say
My respected prophet Marcus Garvey predicted and declared

"St. Jago de la Vega and Kingston is gonna read"
"St. Jago de la Vega and Kingston will experience great upheaval"

And I can see with mine own eyes
And I can personally witness

It's only a housing scheme that divide
The division is only based on the type of housing

Look up a cotton tree out by Ferry police station
Observe the cotton tree near Ferry police station

How beautiful it used to be
It was once a thing of beauty

And it has been destroyed by lightning
It was struck by lightning and ruined

Earthquake and thunder, I say
Also affected by natural disasters, specifically earthquakes and thunderstorms

I take a ride sometimes
I go for a ride occasionally

On Penn Overland and Bronx
On or near the roads named Penn Overland and Bronx

And sometimes I ride on bus X-82, say what?
And on occasion, I take bus X-82, do you get what I'm saying?

Marcus Garvey was inside of Spanish Town district Prison
Marcus Garvey was imprisoned in the Spanish Town district

And when they were about to take him out
As they were preparing to release him

He prophesied and said
He predicted and stated

"As I have passed through this gate"
"Once I leave through this gate"

"No other prisoner shall enter and get through"
"No other inmate will pass through this gate"

And so it is until now
And it remains true to this day

The gate has been locked, so what?
The gate has remained locked, what's the big deal?

When the two sevens clash (it bitter, bitter, bitter)
When something big happens, it can be quite intense and upsetting

When the two sevens clash (a man a go feel it)
When something significant occurs, people are bound to be affected by it

When the two sevens clash (you better do right)
When something major happens, it's best to do the right thing
