Come Shock Out Lyrics

[Intro:]
Play by the king, love is all I bring, love is all I know
Dem style ya make you dance pon your toe
Nuff respect to di Turf high power
Music every minute, every hour
Ease!

[Verse 1:]
'Cause mi seh 1966 Selassie touch Jamaica
A real argument da one ya a, nuh Vega
Every morning as mi rise mi haffi read a scripture
Fi attack pagans like di Pearl Harbor
Big up Rodney Pryce, you a di godfather
And you know mi hail di king, a king of Ethiopia
Burn out badmind and obeah worker
And dash another fire pon di one Lucifer
Read mi own a scripture, mi no need no preacher
If you educate yourself you nuh need no teacher
And mi love mi black color, so burn out bleacher!
No gimme no "may", nor no "moo", no pie no pizza
'Cause a straight oil-a-loo or sea creature
And right ya now mi think da verse ya coulda longer
'Cause yo have a set a man a spar wid bad Oder
Gwan go cleanse yo arm pit with baking soda
And go wash your dutty heart with coconut water
'Cause your heart haffi clean fi hail Jehovah
[Hook:]
Come shock out
Come shock out
Come shock out
Come
Come shock out
Come shock out
Come shock out
Come
Come shock out
Come shock out
And catch da style yah
Come shock out
Come shock out
Versatile ya

[Verse 2:]
And big up Escoliva an D’ major
Torch on Romaine Virgo one Tameka
All di one RC an di one Brown Sugar
And yo know which part fi find wi that a six balata
As a DJ yo know mi haffi rate Tiger
No nyam a people yard, no gut no wanga
And fi meck fi mi jam yuh haffi have guava
FI purge out mi self a some serousi bitter
Bongo herb an not di chimmy an scrape di grater
And real percussionist when him a spin di cabba-saw
A who arrange di horns that a Dean Frazer
Yow yo waan fi si him draw when him a blow di sox saw
And when last yo hear from tipper lee an rapper
Whooo yea
No robber wi a no chain Grabber
And don’t harass mi Mr Officer
And Rip to di Minot, Sugar
Hi a sprinter stay a long distance runner
Seh wi come a far way from escort an Lana
Quarter million encavatasa
[Repeat Hook]

[Outro:Repeat Intro]
