Fort Knox Five Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Same mic, new stage
I and I was born to rage
And there might be another dead boy pon page
These copy cats come to steal me cup, dem ain't real enough
Another big tune, wheel it up
Sonny Dread number one champion
Cause you know I breaks it down in a style & fashion
So keep it moshing cause I'm coming for your neck
And every mon hit the deck when you hear me sound check

Y'all got what you want, now there's no one to blame
Y'all better act like you know I'm sick and tired of playing
Y'all know the name
I'ma put it on a bullet and put it in your brain

DJ Selecta, soundboy killa
I'm fully loaded on this microphone
One shot to the dome
I sit back in the cut and watch your mind get blown
DJ Selecta, soundboy killa
I'm fully loaded on this microphone

From the front to the back
And silence their brain waves
No more originals, everybody's selling out

Some of demma ask where me get it from
My heart beats to the drop of the bass and kick drum
It's a redrum outcome slamming on the dance floor
We give you what you need, not what everybody asked for

Y'all got what you want, now there's no one to blame
Y'all better act like you know I'm sick and tired of playing
