Selecta come!!!!!
Play this song on your fuckin' radio, play this song on your fuckin' radio

If it gets deep, jump in feet first then hold yo' nose
I'm a beast when you step on my toe you hear my whistle
Checkin' 'em hoe, you see my pistol lettin' it go
I couldn't wait to do a song right, hardly 'gon' do ya wrong
Time to party, Meth, Stephen Marley and Jr. Gong
So selecta, come with it, awww shit it
Now why'all done did it, supper ready why'all come get it
Now who 'gon stop me block me pop lock me knock me
Jamaica posse most high Haile Selassie
Allah willin', another sound boy killin'
I'm hot bitch I don't catch cold or catch feelings

And Def Jam why'all know the Meth Man take care of his fam
That's what why'all better do
Examine our skin we plannin' to win
Worldwide tell the people we be jammin' again

Make way for Reggie Hammond

No Belvedere it's Tiger Bone to get it crackin'

I'm a sinner, winner of the underground swimmers
Eat dinner, in front of Bob Marley pin up

[Chorus:]
I don't care about your blinb bling bling
Over here we let them things ring
BLAOW!!! Give it to me BLAOW!!! give it to me
BLAOW!!! Shoot it up BLAOW!!! give it up

Overall Meaning

In Damian Marley's song Lyrical 44, he starts off by asking the selecta to play the song on the radio. He then goes on to showcase his skills as an MC and uses wordplay to deliver hard-hitting verses. Marley makes references to his Jamaican heritage and shouts out icons like Haile Selassie and Bob Marley. The chorus repeats the refrain "BLAOW!!! Give it to me BLAOW!!!," emphasizing the aggressive tone of the song. In the last verse, Marley switches to a more relaxed flow and talks about his experiences with ganja, women, and politics. Overall, the song is a high-energy showcase of Damian Marley's lyrical abilities and his connection to Jamaican culture.


One notable fact about the song is the use of the term "44" in the title. This is a reference to a specific type of firearm (a .44 Magnum), which is known for its power and effectiveness. Another interesting aspect is the collaboration between Damian Marley and other notable artists like Method Man and Stephen Marley. This song is part of the "Ghetto Youths International Presents Set Up Shop, Vol. 4" album, which features artists from Marley's own record label. Additionally, the song's use of Jamaican Patois and slang showcases Marley's personal connection to his heritage and the importance of preserving his culture.


Furthermore, the song's production features a sample of the bassline from Keith & Tex's 1967 rocksteady classic "Tonight". Marley also includes references to popular dancehall and reggae artists, including Yellowman and Shabba Ranks. The song's chorus was inspired by the sound of gunshots, which is meant to add to the song's aggressive tone. Additionally, the use of profanity in the lyrics is a common feature in Damian Marley's music, as he believes in being unapologetically honest in his expression. Finally, despite the song's hard-hitting lyrics, it promotes a message of unity and the importance of sticking together to overcome struggles.


Chords (if known): Unfortunately, the chords for this song are not available at the moment.
