Up Against the Wall Riddim - The Skints

I grab my jacket and a packet and I head out the door

The sun it is ah-shining and I want to explore

So I take a little trip to an out of town club

Bill up a little spliff and then we rock into the dub

«Boom Boom!»

goes the bass

«Pap Pap» goes the drum

The vocal come around like an instruction

No man can resist the primitive call

Babylon ah never put our backs against the wall

Up against the wall, up against the wall

Ah Babylon they wanna see ah man ah fall!

Up against the wall, up against the wall

What babylon don’t know they make we masses stand tall

(Marsha's Chorus) Out where the Raggaman go

Is where the sun shine and wind blow

And when he look down low

He sees the Ragga crowd checking his flow

Out where the Raggaman go

Where the sun shine and wind blow

And when he look down low

He sees the Ragga crowd checking his flow

Well we get pure idiots round that wanna test our sound

Go on like they’re the don

But are bound to mess around

So when the fire come rain down

I leave them (all of the soundboy) drowned.#

Cos the music from Jamaica all the love that I have found

So how now?

The Skints we ah go tell it so profound

You call it a soundclash I call it burial ground

And summa them want to drag man down

But if you mana just walk around

I just draw for the microphone

And I lyrically stub man out like

Zoobadeh!

Zoobadeh!

Ziggidiggidiggidiggi Doobadeh!

Zoobadeh!

Zoobadeh!

Ziggidiggidiggidiggi Doobadeh!

And yes I may like reggae but I know where I’m from, my team was Babylon born

inna east London

(Marsha's Chorus) Out where the Raggaman go

Is where the sun shine and wind blow

And when he look down low

He sees the Ragga crowd checking his flow

Out where the Raggaman go

Where the sun shine and wind blow

And when he look down low

He sees the Ragga crowd checking his flow

(Marsha)

Raggaman say go!

Hoping that life fi hand out good times and good shows

And I and I made it through heavy rain and thick snow

So where is it you go?

With rub-a-dub-a-dub and all our troubles are on hold?

He tell me ten times

He tell me ten times

He tell me ten times

He tell me ten times

What a society!

We don’t like negativity!

You want fi stand up tall!

Don’t fall!

Even if you’re up against the wall!

What a society!

We don’t like negativity!

You want fi stand up tall!

Don’t fall!

Even if you’re up against the wall!

(Marsha's Chorus) Out where the Raggaman go

Is where the sun shine and wind blow

And when he look down low

He sees the Ragga crowd checking his flow

Out where the Raggaman go

Where the sun shine and wind blow

And when he look down low

He sees the Ragga crowd checking his flow — oohhh

Ut where the Raggaman go

Is where the sun shine and wind blow

And when he look down low

He sees the Ragga crowd checking his flow

Ut where the Raggaman go

Is where the sun shine and wind blow --- iiiiiii
