Up Against the Wall Riddim

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

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 ten ten ten ten times

He tell me ten ten ten ten ten times

He tell me ten ten ten ten ten times

He tell me ten ten 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

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
