Lyrics

Well, so long, liberty Let's forget you didn't show, not in my time But in our son's and daughter's time When you get the feeling, call and you got a room Meantime We're cutting our hands at the kebab shop in the streets of fear Forgetting all our best Tae Kwon Do moves on a barrel of beer We're trying to get a signal out of ragga FM, do the DTI, buzz CNN Sucking the wine right out of the vine, spitting it out again Groovin', let's cut out of the scene, go groovin' Groovin', let's cut out of the scene, go groovin' Drive, drive, drive Distance no object, rastafari Yalla yalla, yalla yalla Yalla yalla, yalla yo Yalla yalla, yalla yalla Jambalaya on the bayou Kool Moe Dee was in The Treacherous Three There's old school, new school, and Brownie McGee Going underwater to explode Now night is falling on the grove (Can't but dream) And I hear yalla yalla, yalla yalla Yalla yalla, yalla yo Yalla yalla, yalla yalla Jambalaya on the bayou Yalla yalla, yalla yalla Yalla yalla, yalla yo Yalla yalla, yalla yalla There's jambalaya on the bayou Tonight in the grove Well, so long, liberty Just let's forget you never showed, not in my time But in our son's and daughter's time When you get the feeling, call and you got a room Meantime We're cutting our hands on the kebab shop in the streets of fear Forgetting all our best Tae Kwon Do moves on a barrel of beer Trying to get a signal through from ragga FM, do the DTI, buzz CNN Sucking the swine right out of the vine, and I'm spitting it back again Groovin', let's cut out of the scene, go groovin' Groovin', let's cut out of the scene, go groovin' Drive, drive Distance no object, rastafari Somebody got a vision of a homeland From a township, from a township window Through a township window Some crazy widow dares to have a vision Starts seething like Seeming like a homeland on the plain Not in focus yet Seeming like a homeland on the plain Not in focus yet I'm groovin' with a free style nation And maximum density And I say yalla yalla, yalla yalla Yalla yalla, yalla yo Yalla yalla, yalla yalla Jambalaya on the bayou Yalla yalla, yalla yalla Yalla yalla, yalla yo Yalla yalla, yalla yalla Only to shine, shine in gold, shine
