Rah

[LYRICS START] [Intro – shout-out] Rattle & Roots inside, Dub World sound, Jump-up pressure pon your hometown. If you feel that drop in your jaw, say “Rah!”— …Rah! [Hook – skat] Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, boom! Skra-ka-ka, ra-ta-ta, shake up room. Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, bass, Dub shot clap in your chest and face. Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, zoom, Breakbeat bite like a dog let loose. Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, boom, When I say “rah”, whole dance go— (Crowd) RAH! [Verse 1] Whole week running on late night shifts, Phone on silent, cheap meal lifts. Still that itch in the heel won’t stop, Need one sound that can crack this lock. Hallway fog from the vape and heat, Coat line snake by the backroom seat. First kick drum and the spine go loose, Brain get trimmed from the static abuse. Bassline talk in a language raw, Notes bend low like they broke the law. No sad boy script, just limb and nerve, Rewired right as the breaks swerve. DJ chop like a butcher’s knife, Turn that stress into confetti life. On the next eight, when I flex my jaw, You know the call, you know the roar— [Hook – skat] Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, boom! Skra-ka-ka, ra-ta-ta, shake up room. Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, bass, Dub shot clap in your chest and face. Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, zoom, Breakbeat bite like a dog let loose. Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, boom, When I say “rah”, whole dance go— (Crowd) RAH! [Verse 2] Soundboy line up the double plate stack, Sticker say “RAH” with a tiger back. Engineer wink, twist one knob, Whole rig snarl like it got a job. Light rig cheap but the vibe not so, Floorboard quake when the snare drum blow. Man in the rail nearly lose his hat, Bassline fold him just like that. Council block kids on a one-night leave, Old heads nod like “yeah, we believe.” All them years of the rent and chase, Fold into one mad screwface. If your heart still sore from the daylight chat, Let night-time fix all that. On the next drop when the kicks go raw, Open your chest, buss one roar— [Hook – skat] Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, boom! Skra-ka-ka, ra-ta-ta, shake up room. Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, bass, Dub shot clap in your chest and face. Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, zoom, Breakbeat bite like a dog let loose. Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, boom, When I say “rah”, whole dance go— (Crowd) RAH! [Breakdown – over drums & bass] Strip that back, let the Amen chew, Just kick, snare, sub run through. If life been mad and your calm feel far, Bend both knee for the jungle war. Call out “Rattle & Roots” if you rate this bar, Call out “Dub World” then bark that— Call: Rah! Response: Rah-rah! Call: Rah! Response: Rah-rah! [Final Hook – big] Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, boom! Skra-ka-ka, ra-ta-ta, light the room. Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, bass, Goodness shake in a brand-new case. Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, zoom, Rattle & Roots put teeth in tune. Rah-rah, ra-ta-ta, ra-ta-ta, boom, Last time loud ‘til they lock this room— (Crowd) RAH! [Outro] Dub echo trail off the concrete stair, Still hear “rah” hanging in the air. When the night bus hum like a distant drum, Know that jungle call still come. [LYRICS END]
