Can't Keep a Badman Down

[Chorus: Murkage Dave]

They never let us in places

Laughed in our faces

But the more you erase us

The more we will be right here

Give man a spud in the street

Soon come blud mission complete

Finally, you can't keep a badman down

[Verse 1: Manga Saint Hilare]

Look at the strength bruv

Never no weakness

I tap back into the powers when it's needed

Higher my frequency

Clock all the teachings

Anytime they hate on me my protection increases

Walk with a purpose

I'm here for a reason

They're still not understanding all this vim that I speak with

Think it's just chattings but I see it when I speak it

Ask and you'll receive it

It's real when you believe it

I pattern up and do the work and then repeat

Everyday I try be better than I've been

I'm running tings

Tings still nuh run me

Moving at top speed 'til the mission is complete

Everyday's a new beginning

If you're breathing then you're winning

I'm so happy that I didn't stop (Never stop)

All the doubters you're forgiven

No, you didn't see the vision

I'm just happy that you can sit and watch

[Chorus: Murkage Dave]

They never let us in places

Laughed in our faces

But the more you erase us

The more we will be right here

Give man a spud in the street

Soon come blud mission complete

Finally, you can't keep a badman down

[Verse 2: Manga Saint Hilare]

They keep on saying 'bye Felicia'

They don't even know Felicia

Stealing a vibe then acting like they didn't see us

Leeching off the ting then bouncing when they don't need us

So a quick "suck your mum rudeboy"'s a standard procedure

I ain't never been scared to speak up

We are the culture that you speak of

We been broken and we been beat up

We won't only eat when you feed us

Them scraps deh won't keep us

You don't love us

We don't love you either

But you're the ones who need us

So I double check the checklist

Mistakes are expensive

And even when I been bruk I still paid attention

I'm trying not to let my balance get me off-centred

My vision is relentless

And even times when i been down in the trenches

I still felt so blessed and protected

I knew I'd get back everything that I invested

That's why I'm just out here collecting

Respec' it

[Chorus: Murkage Dave]

They never let us in places

Laughed in our faces

But the more you erase us

The more we will be right here

Give man a spud in the street

Soon come blud mission complete

Finally, you can't keep a badman down
