Chronixx Big Bad Sound Lyrics
Big Bad Sound by Chronixx
[Intro: Chronicle]
Oh lord
Oh lord
[Chrous: Chronicle & Chronixx]
Tell the people uptown
And the one dem downtown
The general come round
String up your big bad sound
Natty never come down
(never)
Ah no me alone
(nah mi alone)
Burning like a fire
The general come round
[Verse 1: Chronixx]
Like father like son the general ah pass through
Give me little space make me dolly past you
And mi nuh 'fraid fi come grab the mic and slew
'Cah me steamin' up like a ital stew
General you wah see ah general here now
First class deejay me well phenomenal
And me ram up any dance with microphone inna mi hand
But if ah real general Selassie ah di only one
Haile Selassie I, conquering lion
Ah from the land of King Solomon
Reign and rule over Ethiopian
Reign the believing ark of covenant
More than the dwellings of Jacob and Abraham
So the lord God loveth holy mount Zion
From Queen of Sheba comes David second
Go notify the Vatican and tell the people
[Chorus: Chronicle & Chronixx]
Tell the people uptown
(people uptown)
And the one dem downtown
(and the one dem downton)
The general come round
(the general come round)
String up your big bad sound
(string up your big bad sound)
Natty never come down
(natty never come down anno me alone)
Ah no me alone
Burning like a fire
The general come round
[Verse 2: Chronixx]
The general come round
Come round, come round, come round
Nuh make me wait when mi come fi mi crown
The city hot like a Kingston town
Zion ah burn like a sun come down
Trumpet loud like ah Stone Love sound
Tongue confess, every knee bow down
Tell every king weh ah claim dem ah king fi leave di compound when dem buck up on me
Haffi make way fi Selassie pickney
Zion and the terrible they coming with me
Everything we do ah fi di king glory
So, everywhere mi go Jah Jah deh pon di journey
When ah war time yuh know we sling ever ready
Yuh know so by time you look we done everything already
Who slew the giant them mi daddy
[Chorus: Chronicle & Chronixx]
Tell the people uptown
(people uptown)
And the one dem downtown
(and the one dem downton)
The general come round
(the general come round)
String up your big bad sound
(string up your big bad sound)
Natty never come down
(natty never come down anno me alone)
Ah no me alone
Burning like a fire
The general come round
[Bridge: Chronixx]
Mi and mi poppa like David and Jesse
Mi and mi daddy Solomon and Menelik
Mi got di bing inna mi right hand, river stone inna mi left
Philistine nuh come in but the natty never fret
Mi ever ready covenant mi never leff
Tell Goliath say ah riot when mi step
When mi dip and mi come and then mi cuff him then mi queff him
Him ah dizzy and ah stagger pon di ground then mi leff
Good lord, Jah know
General deh ya you ain't gotta wait no more
Good lord, Jah know
General deh ya you ain't gotta wait no more (x2)
Oh lord
