Overall Meaning

In the song "Raggamuffin" by Soundclash, the lyrics "Whether FBI or the KGB, Ram danchehall is top priority" suggests that no matter who is watching or monitoring them, the pursuit and enjoyment of reggae dancehall is of utmost importance. This is a nod to the historical censorship and scrutiny the genre has faced in the past, specifically in Jamaica during the 70s and 80s. The lyric "When we mission complete, that's when we feel Irie" could be interpreted as a celebration of the sense of accomplishment that comes with completing a successful performance or recording session. The final line "We would sit down and smoke a whole ounce of collie" is a reference to the intimate and communal aspect of reggae culture, where smoking marijuana in a group setting is a common social activity that promotes relaxation and connection.
