Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Jericho sound
No woman, no cry (We 'bout to set it)
Yes, yes
(We 'bout to set it)
(We 'bout to set it)
Boogie, what?
(We 'bout to set it)
(We 'bout to set it)
Yes
(We 'bout to set it)
(We 'bout to set it)
[Verse 2]
Yo, L won't take the mark, though I swim with sharks
I make the dark see the light, board the ark for forty nights
Times reveal a broken seal, like a fiend steal
You for fake, I'm for real, like Jesus Christ's last meal
[Verse 3]
You make deals with devils
The soul descends infinite levels
Pray to God I see the next re-scripture in Holy text
Then ask to be forgiven for pre-marital sex
[Verse 4]
In the same breath, I speak with Death about the times
And how many joined his army over bullshit rhymes
You see L change the topic, clear as fiber-optics
Make talk about your clothes become microscopic decisions
[Verse 5]
Young bitches in prison
Messing 'round with that life
Thug, drug dealer wife
Consequence cut like a knife
Then we learned that only Jah and God can protect
You know the story, housing projects is Purgatory
So teach the youths, they got more rights than Miranda
Tell 'em this whole shit is propaganda, word
[Verse 6]
Yo, sound system
You know what I'm sayin'?
Jericho sound system
Turn up your sound systems
[Verse 7]
Yo, here he comes down the road, a black Maserati
What up, Raheem?
He never fought unless necessary
You shot at? He shot back
The whole block felt the bang
Last man to fight with his fists, his name was Jackie Chan
Not Charles Bronson
Once you hear the whistle
Even Grandma's is stackin' up on old wooden pistols
[Verse 8]
Nobody's thinkin' by the time you done blinkin'
Cold freezer, so your body won't be stinking
Read the will, he left the bills for his daughter Soleil
Last words written just before he got killed
Woman cry, why wasn't I the one?
Not knowing the omen was her son Damien
[Verse 9]
Father forgive 'em, for they know not what they done
Their meaning of fun is who can draw the quicker gun
Easy with the feezy, separate the violence
Those who disagree hear your ashes blow in silence
[Verse 10]
Yo, turn your sound system
This is the Refugee Camp
Jericho sound system
Know what I'm sayin'?
Te Bass production
Refugee Camp collaboration
Turn up your sound system
Come on
Turn up your boom system
This is how we do, turn it up, come on
[Verse 11]
From the heart of Kingston to the streets of Brooklyn-Marcy
All the way to the highest peak of any frequency
Illegal aliens, them all run invasions
Broadcasting all over your radio stations
Mathematics lead me to believe there's mysteries in numbers
Lightning and thunder
Enough ribbons in the sky to make Stevie Wonder
And man, it works to say I come from Down Under
The wiz kid got no ride
You frontin' at the bar
You ain't a star
You rolled up in somebody else's car
You know the deal
BMW, Black Man Walking
Come home, your Timberlands was talking
**** jealous 'cause of the truth I said in Zealots
Well, let me tell it
Without Premier, you couldn't sell it
(Murder dat boy)
[Verse 12]
We 'bout to set it
Yes, yes
Jericho sound
L-boogie, know what I'm sayin'?
We gonna come like "Star Wars"
You know what I'm sayin'?
We 'bout to set it
1997 to the year 2001
[Verse 13]
Ichiban, even in Japan
Yo, L, you know the flavor
Battlestar Galactica
You wanna battle? Battlestar Galactica
Come on
You know the flavor
Jericho Allstars
[Verse 14]
You know what I'm sayin'? You know, like the V
Remember V? The old show, we used to watch that?
Yo, you know what I mean? We 'bout to set it
Know what I'm sayin'? We 'bout to take y'all, you know what I'm sayin'?
[Verse 15]
Remember "Mork and Mindy"
We used to sit back, "Happy Days"
You know what I'm sayin'?
We 'bout to set it, but yo
[Verse 16]
Kids ain't playin' that no more
**** packin' pistols
Once you hear the whistle, we 'bout to set it
You know what I mean?
Yo
You know the flavor
You know what I mean
