A long, long time I man a DJ inna dance Come watch me DJ in your dance Long, long time I man a DJ inna dance Come watch me nice up the dance
Rason:
Said long, long time I man DJ in the dance Put the mic inna me hand and come nice the session Said people a dance and people a gwan And everywhere we go dem say “Ram-pam-pam” Tellin’ you say
Coot:
Have you ever tried to mix the dance-hall style With some flava from a playa make ya dance for a while I got the recipe without no glock in hand So open sesame, here come that rasta-man
Rason:
Sweet, sweet sounds; I said sweet, sweet reggae You really want to dance; I said you really want to play (x2)
Coot:
Yes, yes y’all. Hip-hop with dance-hall Cootdog baby and Rason Jahmal I got that wicked sh*t like the Wu-Tang Clan ‘cuz I triumph forever when the mic is up in me hand
(Chorus)
Coot:
Teacher, teacher, teacher: spittin’ game in your class So fast; sucka-mc’s catch a whiplash On the throttle, potent so put me in a bottle Label it 151, put me up in your mouth and swallow Feel me in your liver, quiver when I deliver Make your blood hot, shiver in the Babylon river A youngin, but I’m stunnin’, commin’ straight from the Bay I got ya runnin’ and ya’ runnin’ and ya runnin’ away
Rason:
We got ya runnin’ away, here me come say We don’t want no trouble so back and go way (x2) Inna big-big trouble, I said we don’t want that A how we just cool wit the somethin’, a we just try fe relax Now cool out with the trouble, said we don’t want that A we just cool it with somethin’, a we just try fe relax
(Chorus)
Coot:
In the studio, chillin’; write a little rap Burn it to CD and watch it go triple-plat Top notch performer on the dance-hall tip There’s not a mic in the world that Rason can’t rip a like that
Rason:
A me say get up and dance a me say get up and dance Jump up and dance me say get up and dance A we have the sound so you must love that A we have the sound so you must love that (x2)
Coot:
I pick up the mic in the evening and rhyme Rip it for a minute, then blaze upon me Thai Strictly Roots band put me pon de stage Billboard chart me top the front page See me, I ain’t even put the flame to the bud I’m still insane off the love and the game in my blood I’ve been doin’ it since 1986 Writin’ underground hits; West Marin in the sticks Been down with the Roots since the ranch in Sonoma And now I’m up in Chico on a street called Pomona Avenue; and I be havin’ brew Butte Creek every week; cootdog a freak up on this beat...
