Irie Sounds (Dancing Up In The Streets) ft. Chris Duddy Lyrics

Irie sounds, Yah

Yo, it's getting crazy in this motherfucker, yo

We should just go over there and take our, take our tools on them

And just start, start wrenching on them, and just start fucking wrenching on them and shit

Yo, yo, check it, check it yo, yo, yo, check it, check it yo, Eastcoast

Come on everybody start a tappin' da feet, everybody's happy, laughing, dancing up in the streets, Yah

Yo, I'ma switch it up, my Westcoast flows, Mos Def, so listen closely and try not to oppose

Let's uplift our souls, our women, our men, our children, let's begin to pay attention to those in control

Of our money, our food, our water supply, those pumping us full of chemicals, yo, yo, they want us to die

They want us to die, one life for me, be all I can be, I hit the frequencies that'll scramble the anatomy

Music pouring out of me, lightening bolts of clarity, like Raiden, penetrate you like an Iron Maiden

While you're suffocatin', got used to waitin', just anticipating what's to come

While we're slavin', saving dollars inside a conga drum

Yo, let me get the mic back, so I can attack the heart, leave them in a line-flat, Dexter-style murderous

Forensic blood splats on the walls and their front door mats

I said, Westcoast, Eastcoast, Up-North and Down-South, Midwest, Islands, Worldwide irie sounds, Yah

Come on everybody, start a tappin' da feet, everybody happy, laughing, dancing up in the street

I said, Westcoast, Eastcoast, Up-North and Down-South, Midwest, Islands, Worldwide irie sounds, Yah

Come on everybody, start a tappin' da feet, everybody happy, laughing, dancing up in the streets, Yah

With a crystal ball, the future is told, with every generation, you can see the past unfold

People, struggling to find the time, plugging away to make a dime, all the while

They've been pulling the wool to blind our minds, first the crises, then the fallacies

And hypocrisies, funding gain of function overseas, and they say, please don't you see

We're the good guys, the righteous, as soon as your back is turned, then they put the knife in

Yo, let me put this to a question, let us vote, thought process to invest into your perceptions

Your mind's deceptions are misconceptions directed to lower class poverty stricken

Here's a suggestion, tie a rope, erotic asphyxiation, David Carradine, Kung Fu, On Patrol Nation

Police state, Geheime Staatspolizei, show me your papyrus right now or you'll die

I said, Westcoast, Eastcoast, Up-North and Down-South, Midwest, Islands, Worldwide irie sounds, Yah

Come on everybody, start a tappin' da feet, everybody happy, laughing, dancing up in the street

I said, Westcoast, Eastcoast, Up-North and Down-South, Midwest, Islands, Worldwide irie sounds, Yah

Come on everybody, start a tappin' da feet, everybody happy, laughing, dancing up in the streets, Yah

Hey Bruhdy Duddy how ya feel about these morons, nutty butt'ies, Teletubbies, rubber ducky mudderfudders

We've got a Public Service Announcement

Same song we've been singin', same bell we've been ringin'

Why do I get the impression that the pendulum's swingin'

Even out the conditions, for the sake of our children

Every mouth gotta be fed or else the Devil is winnin'

I agree, I wonder if we'll ever see eye to eye, I look to the skies and it starts to make me cry

I look to the seas and everything is diseased, why are we still at war, what are we fighting for

Why are we still at war, why do we choose to fight, why do we bomb our neighbours in the middle of the night

All the division, being pushed with precision by the television, we listen, never seeing the mission

I said, Westcoast, Eastcoast, Up-North and Down-South, Midwest, Islands, Worldwide irie sounds, Yah

Come on everybody, start a tappin' da feet, everybody happy, laughing, dancing up in the street

I said, Westcoast, Eastcoast, Up-North and Down-South, Midwest, Islands, Worldwide irie sounds, Yah

Come on everybody, start a tappin' da feet, everybody happy, laughing, dancing up in the streets, Yah

Over and over, a story that we wanna forget, closer and closer, but further from the goal that we get

Their lives are spent with blood on their hands, the government's

They're trying harder and harder to throw off the scent, haha, everyone to a safe location, for this is not a test

They're cutting communications, the system's under stress, nowhere to run, when they got the guns

Eight billion, turning to the sun, there is one life

Oh my Lord, Father God, I need your blessings

I'm on my knees and I'm stressing, every day is a new lesson

With bloody palms and a pen is my weapon, weapon, weapon

Conspiracy theories aside, why do you think that they lie

Why do you think that they lie, why do you think that they lie

Conspiracy theories aside, why do you think that they lie

Why do you think that they lie, why do you think that they lie

Yo, yo, yo, yo-yo, yo, I said, Westcoast, Eastcoast, Up-North and Down-South, Midwest, Islands, Worldwide irie sounds, Yah

Come on everybody, start a tappin' da feet, everybody happy, laughing, dancing up in the street

I said, Westcoast, Eastcoast, Up-North and Down-South, Midwest, Islands, Worldwide irie sounds, Yah

Come on everybody, start a tappin' da feet, everybody happy, laughing, dancing up in the streets, Yah

Everyday I look at the moon and I say, oww, right, everyday I look at the sun and I say, yowza

Everyday I looked at my wife's face and I'd say, shish kebab, now I find that on the next day

Everyday that I see this dog across the street, looking at me, it's staring at me

I'd say, meow, and the dog runs off, everyday I see a cat and he's across the street

And I'd say, woof-woof, yeah, do you get the picture that I'm trying to make here

We have a moon, we have a sun, we have a wife, a dog and a cat, now tell me, what do you say every day

I see, Westcoast, Eastcoast, Up-North and Down-South, Midwest, Islands, Worldwide irie sounds, Yah

Come on everybody, start a tappin' da feet, everybody happy, laughing, dancing up in the street, I said

Irie sounds Yah, irie sounds Yah, irie sounds Yah, irie sounds Yah, irie sounds Yah, irie sounds Yah, irie sounds Yah
