[Intro]

Music a bubble, not looking for trouble

Some shekels fe I shenks

Just a burn up de lamb’s bread

Session rocking, yeah


[Interlude]

So dem come so dem drop

From time to time dem a watch I

Dem a spy wid dem bad eye


[Verse 1]

Tipped off by informers

Dem a watch who come out and come in

Yeah (come a raid I blues dance)

Yes they knew when the time would be right

Run come gate crash I party

(Come a raid I blues dance)

Raid blues dance, raid I blues

(Come a raid I blues dance)

Kick off the door, woe I name dem call

I back against de wall a rub a daughter

(Come a raid I blues dance)

Dem a run come kill I vibe, interfere wid I

The pigs come to destroy Rasta cry blood

Dreadlocks cry blood


[Chorus]

Raid blues dance

Out of darkness out of night

People screaming, batons wheeling

A lot of bleeding, bruised feelings


[Verse 2]

Search warrant for their outivation

Walkie talkies reinforcements

From dem pocket dem draw handcuff

Dis ya session it rough

Every step of the way got to retaliate yeh

Fight dem back, mash dem down

Vex to death, dem a threat

Mek arrest kiss me neck

Raid blues dance, raid I blues

A run come a run come who

Run come kill I vibe interfere with I

Pigs come to destroy, Rasta cry blood

Dreadlocks cry blood

Come a come a come a come a raid

Come a kick up I speaker

Come a mash up I tweeter

Come a grab up I ishenks

Come a lick out I window

Come a move out I soft drink

Come a rough up the people

Come a turn off me system

Have fe give you some bitch lick

Come a smash up I turntable

Come a scratch up I music

Come a drive up you meat van

Come a come a come a raid
