Fiddle With The Volume
Lady Sovereign Lyrics

Well I'm droppin' bars like a page three star droppin' bras,
I'm rapping with confidence, like a topless model revealing herself on page three of a newspaper.

My voice hits cars, I love music,
My voice is powerful enough to make cars vibrate, I have a strong passion for music.

Kept my voice locked in a jar for years,
I didn't have the opportunity to express myself through music for a long time.

Now I'm here I know you loved the way I appeared,
Now that I'm here in the music industry, I know people appreciate my unique style and appearance.

Like Cha-Ching, I've come to bring,
Like the sound of a cash register, I'm here to bring a vibe that's fresh and exciting.

The vibe that's been hiding like Bin Laden,
The vibe I'm bringing has been elusive and hard to find, like the infamous terrorist Bin Laden.

Turn the noise down, I beg your pardon,
Please excuse me for asking, but could you please lower the volume?

I get ya, let this shit rumble your garden as the bass hardens,
I understand your feelings about the volume, but let the music's strong bass make an impact on you.

Miss L dot Harman, get the weirdest looks from bar man,
As a female rapper, I often get strange looks from bartenders who are used to dealing with male musicians.

They wanna go silly like the Baha Men,
The bartenders want to dance and have a good time like the popular musical group, Baha Men.

The drama continues,
Despite the conflict over the volume, the party and chaos continue.

Now like sexual intercourse, feel the tune in you,
Like the experience of sex, let the rhythm and sound of the music arouse you and make you feel good.

[Chorus]
The main chorus repeats the message of the song - to play the music loud and disturb the neighbors.

Fuck ninety nine,
I don't care about following the conventional rules of society.

My neighbors got about a hundred and twenty-four problems sittin' on his mind,
My neighbor has a lot of things on his mind already, and the loud music is just adding to his stress.

Beside the fact that I blare my music all the time,
In addition to everything else, I constantly play my music loudly.

He gets knock down ginger on his yard from nine to five,
He has to deal with annoying kids playing the game of knock down ginger (knocking on someone's door and running away) on his property from 9am to 5pm.

Ha, wigdy wigdy woo,
This is a playful expression of excitement.

S-O-V's voice causin' fueds,
My distinctive voice is causing arguments and disagreements.

Encouraging my neighbors to be rude,
My loud music is causing my neighbors to behave impolitely and aggressively towards each other.

Unable to chew food,
The loud music is causing my neighbor to feel agitated and unable to enjoy his meals.

Due to my new tunes and my renditions of Waterloo,
My new and unique music, and my cover of the song Waterloo, are the cause of the conflict.

Waterloo! what who?
This is a playful expression of confusion or disbelief, in reference to the song Waterloo.

From Abba to Shabba, hip-hop, grime to ragga,
I listen to and am influenced by a diverse range of music styles.

I blabber the weird grammar due to listening to hits like a hammer,
My unusual use of grammar and language in my lyrics is a product of my heavy exposure to music over the years.

Bang bang, everybody turn this up,
This is a playful command to turn the music up even louder.

[Chorus]
The main chorus repeats the message of the song - to play the music loud and disturb the neighbors.

Peoples complaining, Winging and wining cause I'm here vibing,
People are complaining and being negative because I'm enjoying myself and the music.

Allow country and western,
This is a playful expression of being open to different music genres, even if the song is not country and western.

I got a suggestion,
I have a recommendation or idea.

The music in question is here caving your chest in,
The music I'm playing is powerful, loud and physically affecting your body.

And I ain't got time for resting,
I don't have time to relax, I need to keep the music playing and the party going.

I'm never snoring,
I'm always awake, alert and ready to have fun or make music.

Interesting, my living room noises are never boring,
Despite the chaos and conflict, I find my own living room and music to be interesting and exciting.

Grannys wanna kick my door in,
Even older people are getting frustrated with my loud music and want to take action against it.

We're constantly warring till one in the mornin'
The conflict and tension over the music continues deep into the night.

Now lights off, lights on, I'm teasing them,
I'm enjoying playing with my neighbors by turning the lights off and on, but still playing my music loud.

They think I've gone to sleep but I'm changin' CD's again,
My neighbors think I've finally stopped playing music and gone to sleep, but I'm actually just changing CDs to keep the party going.

Now don't go on like you don't like it,
Don't act like you don't enjoy the music and the party, despite the conflict and disturbance it's causing.

You're only moaning cause your records are shit,
You're only complaining because your music collection is boring and uninspired.

And they skip, now just zip your lip,
Your music skips and is bad quality, so be quiet and let me enjoy my lively and exciting music.

And come to my yard and flip the script,
Come to my house and experience my unique and unforgettable music and lifestyle.

[Chorus: x2]
The main chorus repeats the message of the song - to play the music loud and disturb the neighbors.
