Press Gang
I ain't even heard that word since 17th Century
I ain't even heard that word since Slavery, no
I ain't even heard that word since Navy, Press Gang
I ain't even heard that word since Davy Jones!
Dem a Press Gang, dem a press gang,
Demma wanna put me in a press gang
Wanna throw me aboard deck and the history a rest man
Took a torment to arrest man
But by the Next slide, down Thameside
What a front, balls them had to test I
Nick much wanting of peas and of gold and the chips,
So dem had docked to had docked to had docked to fish
Hi Hat a try come and snare me a but me a kick dem a like kick drum
Kick dem belly no Moussa
Mansa Tuff like Marley,
Me rock inna Trenchtown
Send dem bars of shots in my trench
I'll send my bars like shots in your head
They already done a deal with the duppy man
The ordeal nah recorded on no body cam
Pressgang, press gang, they wanna put me inna mess man
Demma army a harm me with intent
But they never coulda ever charm me with impressment
Headlong to clamp wheels inna gridlock
Throw away my lock key to the canal
Raise a vessel right out of the shallows
Aim and level fire out of their barrel.
Sleight of hand with di planner
In-to-nation, I'm obscure with the chatter
Heard of mistakes you want beef like cattle!?
Animal wanna teef even my enamel!
Conquer dem thief like plaque
When I send dem inna di drink like tap
Send another zooming shot
When them outta sync I clap
Sound a come booming back!
They told me that, on orders of the King
I must hand over all of my possession
I inspire with pens and the books me a bring
And the verse I recite inna hyper fashion
On the bus me a write fi di studio time and the mic it's a vibrant session
On the streets I arrive, on a bike, for the vibe
They be courting the rhymes so prison!
The ordeal nah recorded on no bodycam
By the next slide, down Thameside
The ordeal nah recorded on no bodycam
What a front, balls them had to test I
The ordeal nah recorded on no bodycam
Aim and level, fire out of their barrels
Raise a vessel right out of the shallows
Send them bars of shots in my trench
The ordeal nah recorded on no bodycam
Send my bars like shots in your head
The ordeal nah recorded on no bodycam
By the next slide, down Thameside
The ordeal nah recorded on no bodycam
Water front, balls them had to test I
The ordeal nah recorded on no bodycam
When I kick dembele no Moussa,
Mansa Tuff like Marley, me rock inna Trenchtown
Send them bars of shots in my trench (Shoo shoo shoo shoo)
I'll send my bars like shots in your head (Shoo shoo shoo shoo)
Right out of the shallows
Aim and level fire out of their barrels,
Aim and level fire out of their...
Conquer dem thief like plaque
Send dem inna di drink like tap
Send another zooming shot
When them outta sync I clap
Sound a come booming back!
Conquer dem thief like plaque
Send dem inna di drink like tap
Send another zooming shot
When them outta sync I clap
Sound a come booming back!
Sailor salesman, onna roll, onna pitch
Sold us down stream, widda con from a script
Run to cast nets on the dons from the strip
Rum to Casket and a Tun for the beers
Plunder our tings, from the bounds of the crypt
Tic to come itch, in the bows of the ship
Richer shores sit, say the crown themma wish but...
The ordeal nah recorded on no bodycam
By the next slide, down Thameside
The ordeal nah recorded on no bodycam
What a front, balls them had to test I
The ordeal nah recorded on no bodycam
Raise a vessel right out of the shallows
Aim and level, fire out of their barrels
Send them bars of shots in my trench
