Addis Ababa lyrics

Selector intro - Reach this one out to all top celebrity, in come ting called Memberz! 

‘Play by the king for love is all I bring, Musical ting called Addis Ababa, mi seh we control the area, Jah area, Rasta area’

Verse - Low the m16 and the bush master

The glock 45 and the street sweeper 

Come inna the dance and hold a corner

Look how the girl dem a bubble, nothing can’t sweeter

If you can’t buy a beer, you can drink a water

If you don’t have a girl, you can find a daughter

Champion sound ah play and come through the speaker

How the top end so nice, you hear through the tweeter

And when the bassline roll, place get weaker

The amount of smoke weh ah billow from the marijuana 

shatta friend from round ah Sauga , Scarborough, Downtown & Malton area 

Say man a born champion, nothin we Nuh short ah

Say man a born real gyalis, gyal we Nuh short ah 

Say man a born specialist, herbs we Nuh short ah 

Big up the ghetto yute dem pon the street corner 

Chorus - Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa weh we ah chant fah. 

Addis Ababa Africa weh di don ah stand fah 

Addis ababa, Addis ababa weh we ah chant fah 

Addis Ababa Africa weh di king ah stand fah 

Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa weh we ah chant fah 

Addis Ababa, Africa weh di don ah stand fah

Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa, weh we ah chant fah 

Addis Ababa Africa 

Verse - It was the year 1892 July 23rd Babylon get slew 

Rastafari was born into 2, Ras Makonnen & Lady Woizero 

Lightning earthquake, and a pure thunder surround a little village in the province of Harare 

The whole world dun sight the holy father

Weh ah come inna the world as almighty Jah Jah 

Weh we seh? 

Chorus - Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa weh we ah chant fah. 

Addis Ababa Africa weh di don ah stand fah 

Addis ababa, Addis ababa weh we ah chant fah 

Addis Ababa Africa weh di king ah stand fah 

Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa weh we ah chant fah 

Addis Ababa, Africa weh di don ah stand fah

Addis Ababa Africa 

‘Play by the king for love is all I bring, Musical ting called Addis Ababa, mi seh we control the area, Jah area, Rasta area’

Verse - Low the m16 and the bush master

The glock 45 and the street sweeper 

Come inna the dance and hold a corner

Look how the girl dem a bubble, nothing can’t sweeter

If you can’t buy a beer, you can drink a water

If you don’t have a girl, you can find a daughter

Champion sound ah play and come through the speaker

How the top end so nice, you hear through the tweeter

And when the baseline roll, place get weaker

The amount of smoke weh ah billow from the marijuana 

shatta friend from round ah Sauga , Scarborough, Downtown & Malton area 

Say man a born champion, nothin we Nuh short ah

Say man a born real gyalis, gyal we Nuh short ah 

Say man a born specialist, herbs we Nuh short ah 

Big up the ghetto yute dem pon the street corner 

‘Play by the king for love is all I bring, Musical ting called Addis Ababa, yea mi seh we control the area, Jah area, Rasta area’

The Orbit Blog Attains Two Thousand Posts

 

Since January 10, 2010, this blog has been sustaining a running commentary, with between one and two hundred posts per year, on the regular Orbital broadcasts, the state of current Canadian music, poetry, activism and charismatic artistes of my casual, occasional, or career-long acquaintance.

FROM MY FIRST POST:

"The upcoming weeks hold a wealth of promise so lock me up on your Favourites and check back when you need to check on your next Orbital flight path."

So, in that sense, not much has changed.

Radio Regent Fridays at 5:00

See you up there.
