Tide ‘Pon Shore

V5.5

[Intro – spoken; calm; close-mic; no long intro] Easy now… Breathe it in slow Let the bassline roll like tide ’pon shore [Verse 1 – laid-back baritone; conscious phrasing] Sun come up on a restless land People still searchin’ for a better plan Too much noise, too much command But truth still hums in the back of the band They sell fear by the pound and the ounce Still we rise, still we bounce Can’t cage sound, can’t lock dance Heartbeat drum put we in a trance [Pre-Chorus – deeper; steady lift] No rush, no race, no crown to win Just feel the weight when the bass rolls in Hold firm now, don’t let go Low-end wisdom move real slow [Chorus – warm hook; calm but strong] Let the wub roll steady and low Like the river when it overflow No violence in the sound we throw Just heavy truth and a rebel glow Let the wub roll, calm but strong Bassline preach what words do wrong If the world too loud, stay long In the yard where the riddim belong [Drop – instrumental; heavy wub; warm sub; space to breathe] Heavy wub Warm sub Dub delay throws Let it breathe [Verse 2 – relaxed authority; roots cadence] City lights try blind the eye But roots still deep where the power lie No need shout, no need cry Truth hit harder when it glide by Every tone got a message hid Every echo say, “live how you live” Not Babylon, not hype, not sin Just clean vibration under skin [Chorus – repeat; wider; stronger low end] Let the wub roll steady and low Like the river when it overflow No violence in the sound we throw Just heavy truth and a rebel glow Let the wub roll, calm but strong Bassline preach what words do wrong If the world too loud, stay long In the yard where the riddim belong [Outro – spoken; fading dub delay] Easy now… Let it roll Let it teach Let it go
