We Set The Trend

Eeh!

Yah (Hehehe)

Ah we set di trend

When Bogle seh, "All dem deh, weh dem deh did deh?"

Dem know weh him mean?

It mean seh

Willie Haggart, well a him set di trend

From cream-out hair days and from pants foot a bend

'Memba di blue track and di convertible BM

Di only dancer inna Jamaica was only Bogle dem

Roddigan fly dung and sunrise third heaven

Wid di two big bike and di burgundy Benz

And di African crew give him di latest trends

Dem man deh come a yard and lock dung di ends

Gotti from dung a garden neva beg no friend

From dung a south, you have uncle and yuh have bali dem

Now a Dudus lock di place as di youngest legend

How me fi talk bout don and mi nuh mention Skeng, then

We set di trend, so weh di fassy dem a holla bout?

Machine pop off so watch di fassy dem a bawl out

We set di ting dem, drop di ting dem and go all bout

We set di standard and di pace, fassy face

We set di trend, so weh di fassy dem a holla bout?

Machine pop off so watch di fassy dem a bawl out

We set di ting dem, drop di ting dem and go all bout

We set di standard and di pace, fassy face

Back in di days when a click used to wear

Yah fi have yuh buff a leaner and yuh criss LA Gear

Yuh nuh have a travel fox, you couldn't come around here

Linen suit gentleman, yuh boot mouth haffi square

Have up yuh S Curl and di part inna yuh hair

Remember razor and comb, barber neva have nuh sheer

And a piece a tree stump was di barber chair

Now everyting gone, everyting disappear

Remember House of Leo, put yuh hand up inna di air

Every Wednesday night a metro, and we have to be there

Every Thursday night, a "Stone Love" inna tropics, we nuh fear

And every Sunday night, a "Super D" a Harbour View Square

Dem time, a bike a ride and batty rider a wear

House gyal dem come out inna shorts and brassiere

And Carlene touch di road, inna mi neck mi feel mi ear

And Chiney man from Gully a one great pioneer, cause

We set di trend, so weh di fassy dem a holla bout?

Machine pop off so watch di fassy dem a bawl out (Uh-huh)

We set di ting dem, drop di ting dem and go all bout (Uh-huh)

We set di standard and di pace, fassy face (Uh-huh)

We set di trend, so weh di fassy dem a holla bout? (Uh-huh)

Machine pop off so watch di fassy dem a bawl out (Uh-huh)

We set di ting dem, drop di ting dem and go all bout

We set di standard and di pace, fassy face

Back in di days of 1981

This is just after 1980 election

After Bob Marley dead, and is pure bangarang

Michael Manley and Seaga inna competition

This is after '79, when dem just shake hand

So dem kill Claudie Massop, everything start go wrong

Jim Brown go rise, Curly Lox, and di General

PNP 'gainst Labor Rights, a pure funeral

Cho, cho (Cho), so mi tek yuh to 1988

When a Ninjaman and Admiral Bailey a run di place

Gilbert blow dung Jamaica, leave people inna space

Lovindeer "Wild Gilbert" come mash dung di place

In di days it was di age, Fort Clarence was di base

Unnu 'memba fresh? Gyal used to wine up dem waist

Nowadays every man a have screw pon dem face

If yuh talk too hard, a man a dig fi him waist, but

We set di trend, so weh di fassy dem a holla bout?

Machine pop off so watch di fassy dem a bawl out

We set di ting dem, drop di ting dem and go all bout

We set di standard and di pace, fassy face

We set di trend, so weh di fassy dem a holla bout?

Machine pop off so watch di fassy dem a bawl out

We set di ting dem, drop di ting dem and go all bout

We set di standard and di pace, fassy face
