Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Uh-huh, yeah
Tell them get out my way
Uh-huh, yeah
You best get out my way
Uh-huh yeah
Tell them get out my way
Uh-huh, yeah
Ay
[Verse 2]
I see them lookin' all around
Far and far around
Every country, every town
Callin' for the sound
Searchin', where it can be found?
Let them know I've got it now
And it's right here, underground
Ay
[Verse 3]
Mind of a king, heart of the street
Can't get me parro with the thought of defeat
When them want catch me speed, metamorphic me reach
Laugh when them forward with sorcery feats
So because that it causin' all sorts of retreat
Squad at a loss if the boss miss a beat
So me forward with all of the cause in my speech
Yard or abroad, never pardon the beast
When you see we don't play, is when they gon' say
You want take a piece, but that's when we won't eat
That's when you gon' see it's already too late
And all you create blow up all in your face
So I set my own table, make my own space
You want take a place, better start with your grace
'Cause I've seen them break all the rules
So even when they win, they lose, and I know it's true
[Verse 4]
I see them lookin' all around
Far and far around
Every country, every town
Callin' for the sound
Searchin', where it can be found?
Let them know I've got it now
And it's right here, underground
Ay
[Verse 5]
I do this for my culture, for my heritage
Gramps, Peter Morgan, and my relatives
Oh, they robbed my mommy in the seventies
Not a cent, not dollar, not a benefit
So how you fi ask me if me ready fi it?
I was masterin' craft, steady developin'
And I made up my mind it was the time
Look her right dead in her eye, tell her I will never make it slip
So how me fi calm when me see felonies?
You've created a storm without no remedy
Every mornin' me rise out of my bed, me precise
Inna me head, I recitin' what I read in it
And, yo, I'm just writing this for therapy
Might just make it a song, I got the melodies
Turn up your legacy, Winta got the beats
Bet them put this 'pon repeat, people need it out the street, yeah
[Verse 6]
I see them lookin' all around
Far and far around
Every country, every town
Callin' for the sound
Searchin', where it can be found?
Let them know I've got it now
And it's right here, underground
Ay
[Verse 7]
Uh-huh, yeah
Tell them get out my way
Uh-huh, yeah
You best get out my way
Uh-huh, yeah
Tell them get out my way
Uh-huh, yeah
Ay
[Verse 8]
Far and far, ay
Callin', callin'
And it's right here, underground
