Heltah Skeltah Lyrics

Who we be?
Asking the listener who Heltah Skeltah is.

We be the B double O - T - C - A -M - P ( X3 )
Identifying themselves as Boot Camp Clik members.

I'm caught up in a zone of my own, I rome
Being lost in thought and wandering aimlessly.

Run my fingers through my hair and give air to my stoned dome
Smoking weed and enjoying the feeling of being high.

And analyse, who to tear through, I dare you
Thinking about who they can defeat or overcome.

Devils that try to ban me that dare would be bare proof
Defeating any enemy who tries to stop them is proof of their strength.

Who's he? stalking the streets when there's no life
Referring to themselves as they roam the empty streets at night.

Eyes glow like tiko night glows, we's in flight
Their eyes shining in the darkness as they move quickly.

But it don't glow like, wack, the glow's phat
Their eyes are not lame but cool and impressive.

And it be the only glow that lemme know where a true warrior be at
Their eyes help them locate other warriors in the darkness.

Cut down through mart, then I head for brisk in park
They cut through a market and head to a park to smoke weed.
