Shark Bites & Dog Fights

: Skindred Shark Bites & Dog Fights Cover

Stand For Something

Caught in chains,
Shackles on too tight.
Squirming for your life
because you’ve gone and lost your freedom.

Manacles cut deep when they’re too tight,
You have to break the lock or find the key so you can defeat dem.
Enslaved by the wickedest power,
We’re smashing up the cells and all the right ones gunna follow.
Uprising – we need not the chains,
And we aren’t gunna make the same mistakes again.

If you want it you got to rise and take it,
You go to wake up you know you can’t contain this.
Stand for something!
Or you’ll fall for anything.

If you want it you got to fight for it,
Wake up you’ll never contain it.
Stand for something!
Or you’ll fall for anything.

Wolves they creep,
Out to take the sheep.
The vulnerable, the easy led, the weak,
Who will protect dem?

Against the wall – now they execute.
The blind can lead the blind,
They always need someone to lead dem.

Restrained by the evillest power.
Captive of the chains because these things you’ve done are so’a.
Not surprising – it’s all done in vain,
But you have gone and made the same mistake again

If you want it you got to rise and take it,
Got to wake up, you know you can’t contain this.
Stand for something!
Or you’ll fall for anything.

If you want it you got to fight for it,
Wake up you’ll never contain it.
Stand for something!
Or you’ll fall for anything.

Caught in chains,
Shackles on too tight.
Squirming for your life,
because you’ve gone and lost your freedom.

Manacles cut deep when they’re too tight,
You have to break the lock or find the key so you can defeat dem.
Enslaved by the wickedest power,
Enslaved by the wickedest power,
Enslaved by the wickedest power,
Enslaved by the wickedest…

Everyday you live, you gotta fight,
You got to stand your ground.
If you want it you got to rise and take it,
Got to wake up, you know you can’t contain this.

Stand for something!
Or you’ll fall for anything.
If you want it you got to fight for it,
Wake up you’ll never contain it.

Stand for something!
Or you’ll fall for anything.
Stand for something!
Or you’ll fall for anything.

If you don’t stand for something,
You’ll fall for anything…

You Can’t Stop It

We will have the lyrics for “You Can’t Stop It” very soon.

Electric Avenue

Now in the street there is violence
And a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
and I can’t blame all on the sun, oh no

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Workin’ so hard like a soldier
And can’t afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart, I’m a warrior
And can’t get food for them kids, good God

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Oh no…
Oh no…
Oh no…
Oh no..

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Who is to blame in one country
You never can get to the one
Dealin’ in multiplication
And you konw you never can to feed everyone, oh no

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Out in the street…
Out in the street…
Out in the daytime…
Out in the night…

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Out in the street…
Out in the street…
Out in the playground…
In the dark side of town..

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Days Like These

What’s going on with earth?
Don’t you know what life is worth?
It’s all getting wilder everyday no worldwide security, no love there it’s plain to see
And that not the way it’s meant to be
We must be strong
We got to get along
Now look inside yourself
You’ll find the strength to carry on
We must be strong
In so much confusion
They’re playing tit for tat and dem increase the tension

And it’s days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these,who wants to live?
We got to live in
Days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these,who wants to live?
Live!

So many just out for themselves
And trust in material wealth
You’re building your mansions on the sand
By building new ways of war
You’re breaking and bending the law
And who knows what’s next
And what is in store?

We must be strong
We got to get along
Now look inside yourself
You’ll find the strength to carry on
We must be strong
In so much confusion
They’re playing tit for tat and dem increase the tension

And it’s days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these, who wants to live?
We got to live in
Days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these, who wants to live?
Live!

These times we’re living in, head down I cry for sure
One love one aim one heart
We don’t need none of that, we don’t need none of that
These times we’re living in I just can’t take much more
We don’t need none of that, we don’t need none of that

In days like these, and it’s days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these, who wants to live?
We got to live in
Days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these, we got to live

Don’t big up yourself and gwarn like you’re a big timer
Don’t big up yourself and gwarn like you’re a big timer
Don’t big up yourself and gwarn like you’re a big timer

Tell this fool in my face I don’t need enemies so I’m asking you to move back a little,
Why you bigging up your chest and you’re thinking that you’re tough

Trouble’s what you need then you will receive it.

Don’t big up yourself and gwarn like you’re a big timer

Why so close up to me, dangerous place to be and you’re rocking halitosis a little
Do you think I wear a vest, putting me to the test?
You’re gonna get yourself in a pickle

Trouble’s what you seek do you really need it?
Trouble’s what you want then you’re gonna get it

RatRace

Too much of us caught in a rat trap we ah fe bust out ah that
Too much of us caught in a rat race ah fe bust out ah that

They’re in a contest and a competition
Caught in the snare material suction
If what you’ve got is all you mention
Move an go way I tell you, move an go way I tell you
Pushing and pulling juggling it no stop
There’s always free cheese inside a rattrap.
You better watch before the snap goes pop
Move an go way I tell you, move an go way I tell you

[Chorus:]
Don’t even bother with the boasting
Just take care, cause this ya rat race ain’t fair
Even the saints them are falling
So beware! You’ll find no winners in there
You know its gunner get you whoa
And it will never let you go
You know who its gunner get you whoa
And it will never let you go

Rattrap we can’t escape from it whoa!
And it will never let you go whoa whoa
Rattrap we can’t escape from it whoa

Rattrap we can’t escape from it whoa!
And it will never let you go whoa whoa
Rattrap we can’t escape from it whoa
And it will never let you go, can’t get out of there

Chatty people they will talk all day
Talk your business and they feel no way
Elaborate and make up the story
Move an go way I tell you, move an go way I tell you
You’re always watching what they got next door
If your belly is full and you still want more
Helping the rich when you go down wit the poor
Move an go way I tell you, move an go way I tell you

[Chorus]

It’s a rat race; it’s a rat race
Someone come and tell me who the grown with the human race?
Fury breaks the chain! Let us go.

Rude Boy For Life

Nuff of the yoots in the ghetto firing shots now everyday
Fighting against the ways of Jah, Jah know dem feel no way
If you carry on so then there is a price to pay
Life inside a cell is not a place you wanner stay

Nuff youth dem come from good families, families
Too much ah dem dem just ah end up in a cemetery, they’re history
Influenced by the badness that them see, Wha dem ah see
Coz there’s a lesson to be learn and you just don’t have to be, a memory

What you’re dealing with you know that that ain’t right
The way you carry on the way you love to fight

If you are a rude boy for life, always running into worries and strife
Rude boy for life always walking on the edge of a knife

Top shotter outer road dem, jusa gwoen like dem ah don
War fe territory wan fe own all the land
Gangstarfari Babylon dem pon the pay roll
You can have it all, but end up losing your soul

Infamous roughneck of society
Yes I’m talking to you
Don’t wanner hear a word I say
Are you listening to me?
Coz I’m talking to you

If you are a rude boy for life, always running into worries and strife
Rude boy for life always walking on the edge of a knife

Because you’re running out of school and you’re breaking the rule
You dress up in a suit and you think say you cool
You’s a rude boy running round and you’re not a clown
Any boy stepping up you ah go push dem down
Rude boy for life you want the trouble and strife
Re check your steps turn from death unto life
Another message to you rudie
Burra man ah me say message to you rudie

Killing Me

“Boy you know, me ah fe go leave dat town yo you know! Ca’ it too hot you know, it too hot man”

I’m walking from the bottom and I’m stepping to the top
I see these mental cases and it’s just like watching cops
It’s not easy to say who is your friend or who’s your foe?
Some people look so dodgy, don’t even look over bro
They whisper as you’re passing
“Want some rock some brown or blow?”
Sometimes it does get heavy when you tell the bastards no
The road is getting hard, the time is getting worst
I’m feeling like my mind is gunner blow

I wanna break from the routine, you all feel the same
And there’s no use in pointing fingers coz everybody share the blame, it’s all!
Killing me, believe me
Now everyday there is a battle, everyday against the grime
The news reporter tells us that we all are into crime
Abuse in every corner every house and body part
So quick to jump and use your fist “Ay Bredrin, don’t you start”
Community no unity the place it has no heart
The hatred and the disrespect is tearing us apart
The road is getting hard, the time is getting worst
I’m feeling like me mind is gunner blow

Well uno stand up inna doorway look menacing as hell
You’re wearing a bandana so the cameras can’t tell
It ties you up, and locks you up and that’s where you will dwell
It’s so stereotypical that you’ve got to rebel tell the people

Don’t be a part of that
I’m gunner tell you that you won’t be a part of that
Let me hear you saying that you
Won’t be a part of that
No no no no no no no you
Won’t be a part of that
No no no no no no no you
Won’t be a part of that
Let me hear you saying that you
Won’t be a part of that
No no no no because it’s killing me killing you killing me killing you

I wanna break free from this caught up world, it’s killing me, believe me
I want to break from the routine, you all feel the same
And there’s no use in pointing fingers coz everybody share the blame, it’s all!
Killing me, killing me, you’re all killing me killing me

Spit Out The Poison

Is there an antidote for what? You’ve lied
The venom creeps and saturates your pride

Spit out the poison
Get it out get it out of me get it out
Spit out the poison
Get it out get it out of me get it out

Everything I try to do you stand and scrutinise
Insult me with your venom, I believed your lies
But no longer will I be willing, to sit back and keep chilling
I’m coming for you, you hear what I say
Inside a tomb in a grave I won’t lay
Believe your hype no not me no no way
You make me sick I gorra

Spit out the poison
Draw the venom out you gorra draw it out
Spit out the poison
Draw the venom out you gorra draw it out

Slaughter my confidence with the harmful words you say
Too long you tore me up left me in disarray
Always bringing me down and filling my mind and my soul you’re not killing
I’m coming for you, you hear what I say
Inside this grave in a tomb I won’t lay
Believe your hype no not me no no way
I’m coming for you!

Is there an antidote for what? You’ve lied
The venom creeps and saturates your pride

Spit out the poison
Draw the venom out you gorra draw it out
Spit out your poison
Before it kills you…

Ease Up

Ease up and cool out cuz time is running out
Co me say ease up a little ease up a lot
Ease uppa ease uppa ease uppa ease uppa

These times are dangerous even the blind can see
Weapons in those schoolyards with that I can’t agree
That they run out of shots God knows I got to pray
Gun talk and bullet youth choose another way

You no hear Micheal Moore him ah talk
Dem who buy the bullet ah go ignite the spark me say
Me no want what the gunman ah deal
Dem der kind of bargain to I man it don’t appeal

Ease up and cool out coz time is running out
Ease up and cool out the future is in doubt
Ease up and cool out coz time is running out
Ease up

Just press the button and we all go up in flames
We tell the children no yet we play our war games
It’s getting out of hand and growing everyday
We squeeze the trigger yet the problems they remain

Ease up and cool out coz time is running out
Ease up and cool out the future is in doubt
Ease up and cool out yes time is running out
Ease up and cool out the future is in doubt

Gunfire, Satan’s a liar,
pouring on the petrol and the flames are getting higher
Inspire, lyrics catch a fire,
tell the people something that’s what I want and desire
Gunfire, gunfire

Where you going with that gun in your hand?
Thinks that your rough you want to own the land
One day soon your gunner bite the dust
So get your finger of the trigger coz that’s dangerous

Ease up and cool out coz time is running out
Ease up and cool out the future is in doubt
Ease up and cool out yes time is running out
Ease up and cool out the future is in doubt
Ease up

Me no want wha de gunman ah deal
Dem der kind of bargain to I man it don’t appeal
Me no want wha de gunman ah sell
Dem der kinda ting it ah go land you inna hell

Just take a look around man what do you see?

Dem fire gun and bullets ah fly and dem ah kill off the youth
Just cool out me Bredrin coz you know it ah de truth!
Ease up and cool out coz time is running out

Choices And Decisions

At first you don’t succeed
Tried and tried again
Worked your hands to bleed
Don’t give up my friendWell in this game called life you got to keep on trying
Don’t make no body push you down and give you pure problem
OI! Life it is for living not for aggravation
When their getting under your skin and trying to cause you tension
You tell them, inside this flesh nuff ah we jusa suffer
And influences they will come take we over
1 think in life I and I must remember
Stand up for something and you’ll hear the oppressor singing

You got to make up your mind
Life, Choices and Decisions
You got to make up your mind
Life, Choices and Decisions
Where do we go there are so many signs
Life, Choices and Decisions
You got to make up your mind
Life, Choices and Decisions

Well well at first you don’t smoke weed but now you’re hooked on smack
You look back over your life and you wish you could go back
Rewind reject it and start it again
You know you wouldn’t end up with this juxtaposition
Right! Inside this flesh nuff ah we jusa suffer
And influences they will come take we over
1 think in life I and I must remember
Stand up for something and you’ll hear the oppressor singing

To follow or to lead
Or do you just pretend?
To pause or to proceed
The choice is yours my friend

Which way do you go? Where you gunner go? I do not know! You see,
Life is one big road with lots of signs, surely you’ll find
You got to make up your mind to face rality all the time
Many ah problem many ah joy
Never you try to take life for a toy
Some doing good lord some doing bad
All of these choices are driving me
Mad, So mad, driving me mad, driving me mad, driving me mad, driving me mad

Life, Choices and Decisions, Life, Choices and Decisions
Life, Choices and Decisions
Life life life life, choose life

Days Like These

What’s going on with earth?
Don’t you know what a life is worth
It’s all getting wilder everyday
No worldwide security, no love there it’s plain to see
And that not the way it’s meant to be
We must be strong
We got to get along
Now look inside yourself
You’ll find the strength to carry on
We must be strong
In so much confusion
They’re playing tit for tat and dem increase the tension

And it’s days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these, who wants to live?
We got to live in
Days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these, who wants to live?
Live!

So many just out for themselves
And trust in material wealth
You’re building your mansions on the sand
By building new ways of war
You’re breaking and bending the law
And who know’s what’s next
And what is in store?

We must be strong
We got to get along
Now look inside yourself
You’ll find the strength to carry on
We must be strong
In so much confusion
They’re playing tit for tat and dem increase the tension

And it’s days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these, who wants to live?
We got to live in
Days like these
When everyone dem really need to come together
Days like these, who wants to live?
Live!

It’s A Crime

Money mad are you money money mad
Money can make you happy
But it also makes you mad
Money mad are you money money mad
Money can make you happy
But it also makes you mad

Extortionate rates and prices big fat cats taking big slices
Tryin’ maintain bad habits & vices
Sometimes it all feels like you’re in a crisis
Lord

Empty pockets provoke you to go out and hustle
For Ganja or Coke
Even though you are broke
You will kill for a drink
You know that ain’t no joke

Now I’m no judge or jury
And you can see through me
Justice scales ain’t broken, and we are all guilty

It’s a crime, but that’s a price we got to pay
It’s a crime, don’t take my life away
It’s a crime, but that’s a price we got to pay
It’s a crime, don’t take my life away

Money mad what! Money money mad what
Money can make you happy
But it also makes you mad what
Money mad what! Money money mad what
Money can make you happy
But it also makes you!

Not having a penny in your pockets frustrating
When everybody around you seems to be money making
Dipping their hand in the till and just taking
Living it large because of the laws they’re breaking

I’m telling you that I’m broke
But I spent my last pennies on liquor and smokes
Stealing things from my folks
At reality check point you know we all choke

Now I’m no judge or jury
And you can see through me
Justice scales ain’t broken
That’s why we’re all guilty

It’s a crime, but that’s a price we got to pay
It’s a crime, don’t take my life away
It’s a crime, but that’s a price we got to pay
It’s a crime, don’t take my life away

So tell me how you gonna win?
Saying, how we gonna win?
If you ain’t right with in?

It’s a crime, but that’s a price we got to pay
It’s a crime, don’t take my life away
It’s a crime, but that’s a price we got to pay
It’s a crime, don’t take my life away
Money mad money money mad, it’s a crime
Money mad are you money money mad it’s a crime

Money mad!

Bruises

All I want to do is make the people rock
But them I heard dem der words
I never trusted you lot
And why don’t you go back to Africa
From I heard that sound these a vibe non-stop, right?
Round 1, i’ll tie you up in knots
You caught me with a right, is that all you got?
Let’s make our way to the parking lot
Coz I know one of us have got to drop
Winners losers mind confuser
Step in the ring and you know get bruises
Winners losers mind confuser
Jump inna de ring and you know you get bruises
Winners losers mind confuser
People should know better
It’s not hard or it’s not clever
Dem ah walk in a drunkard crew
And dem are look violence
Through intoxication
They want to start a confrontation
But they ain’t got the sense or co-ordination
Who you looking at? For pray clowns be storking
All liquored up, pay no mind keep walking
Wrong move there in your face for a fight
To explode with a right upper cut dynamite
He’s had enuff he ain’t getting up
He’s had enuff he ain’t getting up
He’s had enuff he ain’t getting up
He’s had enuff he ain’t getting up
Winners losers mind confuser
Jump in the ring and you know get bruises
Winners losers mind confuser
Jump inna de ring and you know you get bruises
Winners losers mind confuser
He’s had enuff he ain’t getting up
He’s had enuff he ain’t getting up

Winners losers mind confuser

Firing The Love

You’re just a big Jinel,
Loves hate professional
Charlatan, Now who can tell?
They’ll take you straight to hell
Love burns perpetual
Locked in a broken cell
Grave passion is denied
Guilty of what? She cried

Am in love with you but are you in love with me
Firing the love what, firing the love what
Firing the love firing the ho

Wrong move you’ll break your neck
Its time you come correct
Give thanks 4 daily bread
Go wash your dirty head

The original troglodyte
Dressed up like dolomite
One match the worlds alight
Dogma can make you fight

Am in love with you but are you in love with me
Firing the love what, firing the love what
Firing the love firing the ho

How much do you love me but i hate you love
Am in love with you but are you in love with me
Firing the love what, firing the love what
Firing the love firing the ho

Fishy in the water fishy in the sea
Who’d you love best fishy or me

Tears

This just aint fair
What you trying do to me
Trying make me crazy
Telling me just how it should be
And ive got to know
Which way are we gunner go
Gunner take it fast or slow
But with you I never know

Its never the same these things that your saying
And who is to blame this world it is swaying

I know when youre lying
Theres no point in crying

Well if thats how the girl is treating you man,
youre out of your mind
She is disrespecting the programme
and you cant see the signs
The girls shes got you like a puppet,
man youre deaf or youre blind

Blackmail you throw
Using me emotionally
That aint how it should be
Lock me up and eat the key
Let your love flow
Thats the way its meant to be
Love should flow more easily
Theres enough for you and me

Its never the same these game that youre playing
And who is to blame my world it is swaying

I know when youre lying
Theres no point in crying
Those crocodile tears wont work
Stop using your tears

World Domination

De Dread ah come

And I can’t take no
More domination
Your domination
Yer its dread out there you know

The Fear

Time for talking to, work it all out
Can not the pressure nuff addy youth dem ah shot
Children suffering screams are in vain
An they’re dealing with the tormenting again and again
Time for stalling lets work it all out
Some will use the tongue to spit their venom about
Sticks and stones hurt and words they can kill
Harassment and oppression, why can’t people just chill
The rude boys are coming so get out of here
Find a place to hide because nuff youth dem ah fear
Stand in ah dem way you know you will disappear
The rude boys are coming and I, I just don’t fear
We don’t fear rude boy get out of here
With your bully boy tactics you disappear
Don’t fear rude gal get out of here
With your bad gal business, disappear
In the play yard the battle is on
And who is going to tell them
That their vibes dem is wrong
Teachers shouting lets sort this out
But when she turns her back
They smack you straight in the mouth
Gunner get you with intimidation
Stand up and be counted cause a counteraction
Turn the tables to know how it feels
You would want them to stop if it was them on your heels
The rude boys are coming so get out of here
Find a place to hide because nuff youth dem ah fear
Stand in ah dem way you know you will disappear
The rude boys are coming and I,
I just don’t fear
We don’t fear rude boy get out of here
With your bully boy tactics you disappear
Don’t fear rude gal get out of here
With your bad gal business, disappear
