Seeed Lyrics

Mi cool an deadly fi go dance with we ladies
Dem a dance ya too funky
Make man a move inna di dance like junkies.
Ihr hört uns Hyperhifistereo
Oder als muffiges Desaster auf`m tapefressenden Blaster
Singen tun wir sowieso, vielleicht könnt ihr`s erahnen zwischen Brosis
Denn wir sind nich' gern allein
Der eine braucht nur sein TV, wir brauchen die Family
In diesen eisigen Zeiten voll von durchgeknallten Leuten
Is' es unser Job die, heißen Hooks und Zeilen zu verbreiten,
Du bist hart, du willst streiten, kriegst 'n halbsteifen beim Fighten
Geh doch in die USA und feier da, geh Bullenreiten
Geh bloß uns nich' auf`n sack weil du zu feige bist zu tanzen,
Zieh die teure Jacke aus du Körperklaus, zeigma' was kannst?
Wir moven gut in jedem Look, im freshen und verranzten
DU mit deinem Benni Miles schockst nur Vorstadtpommeranzen
Yes we
Waan back mi waterpumpee,
Mi cool an deadly fi go dance with we ladies
Dem a dance ya too funky
Make man a move inna di dance like junkies
See your hip shake, watch your shape babe, dive in your lake
Dream come awake and make this tune earthquake
Do you tape it, naked, sun bake it, all I can take.
Put in my toaster., hit that cake, ride our ghost ya
Rollercoaster ain´t no fake ma
Top to coast we want them most
Oh ladiees may these tracks help move your legs.
No turn back, disya dancehall-drug gonna hit like a killa
Get loose in your waist, put a smile on your face set the dance on fire!
'Cause the flow of a girl and man
From creation is meant to be a divine combination
To all a mi bredren inna land
Don't waste time and give dem girls satisfaction
Waan back mi waterpumpee,
Mi cool an deadly fi go dance with we ladies
Dem a dance ya too funky
Make man a move inna di dance like junkies
In "Waterpumpee" by Seeed feat. Anthony B, the song speaks about the desire of the singer to go to a club to dance with a group of ladies. The lyrics refer to the beat of the dance music as they request their "waterpumpee," a slang term used in Jamaica in the dancehall culture to describe a rhythm made by hard hits on a big plastic water container. The singer's energy is high, and the ladies are dancing too funky, making the men dance like junkies. The song embraces youthful party culture and the craving to dance with women with a unique Jamaican flair.
The tone shifts in the second verse as the characteristic sing-rap style of the group highlights the importance of being with friends and family. The song mentions "these eisigen Zeiten voll von durchgeknallten Leuten," which roughly translates to "these icy times full of crazy people," alluding to the politics of the era when the song was released. The song is a call to partying and enjoying life while the world is crazy—rejecting the stressors of the world and embracing the moment with friends.
In conclusion, "Waterpumpee" is a high-energy dance song that encapsulates a moment of youth and party culture. The song implicitly refers to the struggles of the time, creating a soundtrack to escape and enjoy life's moments.
