[Intro | spoken deejay chat over isolated bassline, tape delay throw] Selector! Level di treble, make di sub pressure drop. When Gemini Sound step inna di building, and Funtastik lock down di dance, every counterfeit sound haffi fold up. [Airhorns] Hear di word! [Verse 1 | rapid patois flow, syncopated deejay style, locked in di pocket] Zinc fence rattle when di bassbin talk Heavyweight pressure when Funtastik walk Watch dem a stumble pon di chalk outline Gold inna di fire mek di armor shine Dem whisper propaganda inna dark corner Yet Jah Jah shield we from di grave and trauma Speaker box stack up ten feet high Real warrior spirit neva lay down die [Pre-Chorus | half-time vocal lift, building tension, snare roll and dub siren] Dem pray fi we stumble, dem pray fi we fall (a lie!) We stand up like iron against every wall When di siren sound, make di whole club call [Chorus | melodic singjay hook, chest voice, open vowel sustain, heavy bass drop] Firm pon di ground, we firm pon di ground (solid!) No pagan cyaan push we down (neva!) When Gemini Sound drop di weight Firm pon di ground, we firm pon di ground [Verse 2 | triplet flow, clipped consonants, aggressive on top of the beat] Run come tell dem say di clash done start Soundman shake up inna head and heart Dubplate cut pon a heavy acetate Seal up di victory before midnight late Dem carry rumor, we carry power Bloom like a cedar while di dry leaf sour Tell di crew say di trophy secure Clean hands, pure heart, standing mature [Pre-Chorus | half-time vocal lift, build with rising filter sweep] Dem pray fi we stumble, dem pray fi we fall (a lie!) We stand up like iron against every wall When di siren sound, make di whole club call [Chorus | melodic singjay hook, chest voice, open vowel sustain, heavy bass drop] Firm pon di ground, we firm pon di ground (solid!) No pagan cyaan push we down (neva!) When Gemini Sound drop di weight Firm pon di ground, we firm pon di ground [Bridge | stripped one drop riddim, drop-out mixing, vocal tape delay throw] Cut di drums out, let di subline breathe (hear dat?) Every hypocrite a scatter when di lion speak (watch dem run) Through di storm and di trial, we keep di heat Rewind di selector, wheel it up complete! [Wheel Up | airhorns, laser stab, reload] [Final Chorus | full bashment energy, maximum sub weight, crowd call and response] Firm pon di ground, we firm pon di ground (lock it!) No pagan cyaan push we down (neva!) When Funtastik rule di town Firm pon di ground, we firm pon di ground (wheel!) [Outro | spoken deejay chat over fading riddim, spring reverb tail] Yeah man. Dem thought dem coulda study di move? Nobody cyaan study divine protection. Gemini Sound alongside Funtastik. Di sound of victory. Sound dead, bury dem deep. Run di version.
