[Intro]
Let me ask this question real quick, umm, as far as the Smif-N-Wessun and the name change and everything like that; now how did that come about? How did that evolve into the Cocoa Brovaz and everything like that?
"That was jealousy, man, that's all that is, man" (Jealousy, man!)
"Jealousy and ignorance, man"
Yeah
Niggas got me stressed, man
Oh, just burn a spliff don't worry about that
[Verse 1: Professor X]
In my pink Cadi', I have a toolie in the glove
Uncle Sam arms deals kill in the 'hood
Homie come, steppin', testin'
My choice of weapon
That Smif-N-Wessun – hmm...
Try – sue me for the namesake
Yo... who's pimpin'?
Yo... who's pimpin' who?
[Verse 2: Steele]
I woke up in the morning, what did I see?
Unknown faces starin' down at me
First thought was to flee
As fear overpowered me
Chlorophyll got me ready to black, I can't breathe
Niggas askin' me, "Who's Smif and who's Wessun?
We got you, now we're lookin' for your partner, cause you're messin'
With the incomin' currency
And frankly, we don't give a fuck about your privacy
We been watchin' you for a while now
We know about the calls made back and forth down south
Word of mouth
You had your peoples workin' out
But I doubt you had 'em lookin' out
'Cause we can pick 'em out
Now we got 'em listed on our internet systems
Know about the crimes and the names of all their victims
Even got the pinpoint spot of where you hang
You got big dreams coming 'round tryin' to change things"
[Chorus: Jah Dan]
Let me sing
While they try to suffocate and stifle all of our intentions
The amount of sufferations, trial and tribulations
Too much to mention
But, tell them that we no 'fraid
We done have we brigade
From every corner, angle, and section
When I say Babylon going fall
I see dat inna me crystal ball
Them say they oughtta, that's off the wall!
[Verse 4: Tek]
I got subpoenaed by the government
The other day – I opened it and read it
It said they were suin'
Said I couldn't move the way that I was movin'
And I couldn't do the things that I was doin'
'Causin' mass confusion with the name that we was usin'
Said that gun sales was conflictin' with our music
Sent me multi-page contracts, just to prove it
With trademarks on belt-buckles, shirts, and knives
Ain't that the most off the wall shit you heard in your life?
Probably heard his junior singin' Mr. Ripper's in your area
Feel your heart skip a beat as I'm nearin' ya
I'm hearin' ya
Askin' your seed, who is me
At the same time, you break my classic CD
Runnin' to the phone, callin' up Lieberts & Lieberts
"I had it up to here with these damn rap neegers
They even got my local boys sayin' that stuff
I want a draft complaint made up for a million plush"
[Verse 4: Steele]
I got a letter from the corporate
The other day – I opened and read it
They said they was suing
Somethin' about we was causing confusion
Wanted me and my son to change the name we was usin'
Had our associates Nervous
Suits trying to serve us
Got our investors actin' real shady, tryin' to jerk us
Got Tek ready to bre'k somethin'
Adrenaline stayed pumpin', say somethin'
I'll tear you out the frame, won't even think nothin'
[Verse 5: Jah Dan]
Fed up, fed up a di way we fed up pon di bullshit
The stress – it make me have to roll a next spliff
Make spiritual may cause, but they dem what call no phone
How when mi laying down, me see dey all of dem come
They want them share, but I know dem soul deceive
The more you succeed, that's when you'll see dem greed
Try to displace somethin' dey know dey can't tear down
That's how me know the whole of Babylon fi fall down
No matter how dem behave, we must prevail
Dey go send dem letter, well, that is just junk mail
Tear that up and fling that 'pon the garbage pail
Me sing –
Hell fell – oh, well
I yell, "Swell!"
We up fi send dem down ta Hell
Hell fell – oh, well
I yell, "Swell!"
Me up fi send dem down ta Hell
Da B.C.C. say – we up fi send dem down ta Hell
The Black Heart Jamaica massive – we me up fi send down ta Hell
With dem rhetoric – we up gon' send dem down ta hell
And dey politricks – we up gon' send dem down ta hell
All dey statistics – we up gon' send dem down ta hell
(Hell... oh, well...)
[Outro: Professor X]
So you're hesitant
With a brother quest to represent?
I sense a hidden agenda, two-faced intent
In fact, outside your last government contract...
Yeah... hmm... to wage the first World War?
Now, presently on tour
Hardcore
Come a-knockin' at your door
Your revolver took down many a '90's Moors
Cut to – the ad campaign, your gun stores
So I welcome the flow of a tribe called Cocoa
This be X (Oh, oh, oh, oh...)
Yo, cross your roads
A traveller is... what a traveler does
