Lyrics

Dead

[Intro: Riko]

Ayo

Me hear 'nuff bwoy run up and down with their chat

But dem nah chat no sense

Seen?

More time you haffi sit down and just listen lyrics, rudeboy

So ya hear me?

Yo

Yo, big up the Aftershock camp, seen?

Big up Terror Danjah

Big up Hyper

Big up man like Triple

Big up Envy

Yo

You haffi listen proper, rudeboy

Yeah

[Verse 1: Riko]

The lyrics that I spit are all one away

Mek a bwoy run away, gunplay, come and play

Meet me anyday, you're a prick anyway

Lyrics that I spit, I'm killing any ting and any breh

And you know I'm the farda

'Cah me nah [?] with no old-school drama

When you're lyrically weak and you're lyrically marga

Lyrically bleak, lyrically you're a starter

So how you wanna come diss the master?

I'm lyrically mastеr blaster of disaster

I'll kill a boy now, right now, not after

Chat rеal life, me nuh chat like no pastor

Spit bars for a sixteen straight after

Your crew and your farda, your boo and your daughter

Ask yourself, blood, what you wan' war for?

You're not a big mic man, you're a fraudster

[Chorus: Riko]

All soundbwoy dem fi dead

Dead! Fake mic man, dem fi dead

Dead! Wan' test me? You ah go dead

Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!

Dead! All soundbwoy dem fi dead

Dead! Fake mic man, dem fi dead

Dead! Wan' test me? You ah go dead

Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!

[Verse 2: Shizzle]

Draw for the duster, swing that fast

Suttin' that I spray, eyes blinded fast

Troublesome n****s get slapped up fast (alright)

Backhand fix up a big dopey fass (pussy)

'Cah you don't wanna fuck about with me

Ten man blacked-out in the cars with me

Ready to fix a boy who try diss me (fassyhole)

If you're a gangster, blood, come fist me

Yo, let me tell you wah gwan

Guard your headback when you step pon di lawn

Man get kidnapped, cremated in a barn

Cool off the hype, chill out and stay calm

'Cah you'll never, ever come pon mi corner

Get sprayed at, me nah care 'bout armour

Vaporised in a minute, you're a goner

Told 'em before seh mi bun an informer

[Chorus: Riko]

All soundbwoy dem fi dead

Dead! Fake mic man, dem fi dead

Dead! Wan' test me? You ah go dead

Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!

Dead! All soundbwoy dem fi dead

Dead! Fake mic man, dem fi dead

Dead! Wan' test me? You ah go dead

Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!

[Verse 3: Flirta D]

Just 'cause I'm called Flirta D, please don't get it twisted

I'll put two in your ras'

Slew your hamstrings, slew your calves

Slew your back and I'ma slew your arms

Blood and more, all over your garms

And you can get murked all over the dance

Get to the work, jerk all over the dance

If you want work, I've got that in a race

All over the set

And I can't believe it was over a sket

But you can get a (ching) all over your neck

And you can get your brain splashed over the dashboard

(Yeah) All over the place

And you will see me all over the place

And you can get suttin' all over your face

End up in Casualty with a neck brace

[Chorus: Riko]

All soundbwoy dem fi dead

Dead! Fake mic man, dem fi dead

Dead! Wan' test me? You ah go dead

Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!

Dead! All soundbwoy dem fi dead

Dead! Fake mic man, dem fi dead

Dead! Wan' test me? You ah go dead

Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!

[Verse 4: Hyper]

Yo, my flow is immaculate, your flow is inaccurate

Anybody put in my way, yep, I'm attacking it

My flow is superior, yours is inferior

You're not scary, rudeboy, I'm scarier

I'm back, sixteens, I'll release 'em at a terrible pace

I'm spitting bars that will tear your face

I'm a different type of brudda and you can't get ahead of me

You don't wanna bring it with Hypes, I'm too deadly

I dribble on beats, I riddle on beats again

I fiddle with heats out on the streets again

This is my flow and it's not yours

I spit bars like I've got sixteen jaws

You could never, ever murk me, bro

I clap sixteens and put holes in your flow

Clap sixteens, never drop a weak verse

I kill an MC quick, put him in a hearse

[Chorus: Riko]

All soundbwoy dem fi dead

Dead! Fake mic man, dem fi dead

Dead! Wan' test me? You ah go dead

Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!

Dead! All soundbwoy dem fi dead

Dead! Fake mic man, dem fi dead

Dead! Wan' test me? You ah go dead

Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!

[Outro: Riko]

Dead! Dead!

Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!

Dead! Dead!

Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead!
