Dont come too quick before it begins
Since you in
Stand firm on your feet
Nuit blanche, a steeples night
Nuit blanche, a steeples night (Soundboy)
Nuit blanche, it could lead you to a fight
Nuit blanche, a steeples night
Nuit blanche, come and shout out
Nuit blanche, it could lead you to a fight, cuz
Send you home and Bruch your teeth and
Sleep in a cradle man start selling sand so
A sleepless night where you hold on the vibe
Nuit blanche, a sleeples night
Nuit blanche, come and shout out
Nuit blanche, a steeples night
Nuit blanche, it could lead you to a fight, cuz
Nuit blanche, a sleeples night
Call me the sand seller
That’s why me chant Nuit blanche, a sleepless night
We nah kill sound for money We nah kill sound for glory
The only reason for we to dust a soundly out of the dance
Is to spread enough romance
Nuit blanche, a steeples night
Nuit blanche, a steeples night (Soundboy)
Nuit blanche, it could lead you to a fight

he’s got the trick
in light he stands and he won’t forget
now he can understand and he knows it
me remember when me was a youngster
the likkle rooty cowboy horseback rider
using the sun fi the time and guiding star

seeking between the lines in every chapter
until me bump into a strange encounter
oh rightcha know jan man it was an indian rasta
rooty cowboy

in light he stands and he won’t forget
now he can understand and he knows it

bout the 4 elements which hold the power
which air and fire me say earth and water

respect every man respect the indian rasta

sight john wayne from the corner of my eye
ask for a spliff as me buck on a boy
him search him pockets take out some tin foil
give me 3 buds of ganja and tell me fi enjoy
but warn me fi keep it safe nah use it to spoil

well me pause for a second decide fi build one
him cut me short and tell me fi cool down

She’s born a man
With a mind of a woman
Doesn’t know her place
Her life she chased on
The fear and the look of others
Had her run for cover
She closed the book like shatters
In different situations
Transgender
Respect them members
Because
She’s born a man
She was born and couldn’t understand
Didn’t know what her body and mind were trying to tell
respect due to the maximum
me ball and call uno fi stand strong
shock and proove man ride the pattern
and tell them the truth they pon the section
eh just the other well i heard them say
transgender an’t no human anyway
but who are you? to say that today
go hear the words of the one singjay
Transgender, respect them members
Man and woman
Man and woman
It’s a secret and she hides it
Thinks she’s sick
It’s a secret and she hides it
Transgender, respect them members
cause people are people and people are evil
thinking we nah equal no one is illegal
something like needle eye of the eagle
aim for the middle you know the shot is lethal
nah come fi tickle
london to seattle
nah run on diesel
fly like a seagull
some dem a tremble
words them na wan mumble
stay true and humble

I don’t wanna wake up one day I be a treater, no
I don’t wanna wake up one day I ‘m just a snitch, sheebooom`
My deepest fear, be an informer
My database is what me first get rid of
Modern time, want look into your eyes and scan out
Modern time, what should I do before I’m locked in the cellar
On the internet we feel disconnected
Tweet, post, comment and like some content, tho
My computer is being infected, true
Some bit my style with an algorithm
Modern time, want look into your eyes and scan out
Modern time, what should I do before I’m locked in the cellar
Some wear mismatched socks
Some a wear suits, three piece suit
Some a wear pants and cut them in June
Some rasta trim Yes you see them chop
Global warming and the weather is hot
I don’t wanna wake up one day I be a treater, no
I don’t wanna wake up one day I ‘m just a snitch, sheebooom`
My deepest fear, be an informer
My database is what me first get rid of
(so let’s get rid of it)
