Shock, black double down-beat bouncin' Rock-wize tumble down sound music Foot drop, find drum blood story Bass history is a-movin' is a-hurtin' black story Thunder from a bass drum soundin' Lightnin' from a trumpet and a organ Bass and rhythm and trumpet double up Keep up with drums for a deep pound searchin' Ridim of a tropical, electrical storm Cool down to de base of struggle Flame ridim of historical yearnin', flame ridim of de time of turnin' Measurin' de time for bombs and for burnin' Slow drop, make stop, move forward Dig down to de root of de pain Shape it into violence for de people They will know what to do, they will do it Shock, black double down-beat bouncin' Rock-wize tumble down sound music Foot drop, find drum blood story Bass history is a-movin' is a-hurtin' black story Ridim of a tropical, electrical storm Cool down to de base of struggle Flame ridim of historical yearnin', flame ridim of de time of turnin' Measurin' de time for bombs and for burnin' Slow drop, make stop, move forward Dig down to de root of de pain Shape it into violence for de people They will know what to do, they will do it Shock, black double down-beat bouncin' Rock-wize tumble down sound music Foot drop, find drum blood story Bass history is a-movin' is a-hurtin' black story
