Roots Manuva - Witness (1 Hope) lyrics

Well, well, well well, well
Well, well, well

Taskmaster burst the bionic zit-splitter
Breakneck speeds we down ten pints of bitter
We lean all day and some
Say that ain't productive
Could that depend upon the demon
That you're stuck with
Cause right now, I see clearer than most
I sit here contented with
This cheese on toast
I feel the pain of a third world famine
Segue, we count them blessings
And keep jamming
Tis him - scumbag, scum of the earth
His worth was nil
Until he gained the skill of tongues
From fifteen years young straight
To my greyback self
I stay top shelf material, jerk chicken
Jerk fish breakaway slave, bliss
Generate Gs and then we stash
'em in the Swiss
Fools can't see this, audio pistols
A fistful of hip hop dons
I progression in the flesh
Esoteric quotes, most frightening
Duppy took a hold of my
Hand while I was writing
Let go me ting, duppy, let go me hand
I summon up the power of Banana Klan

Witness the fitness the Cruffiton liveth
One hope, one quest witness the fitness
The Cruffiton liveth one hope, one quest
Witness the fitness the Cruffiton liveth
One hope, one quest witness the fitness
The Cruffiton liveth one hope, one quest

Swigging that deep root juice
Now we deh pon a boost
Set them spirit dem loose
Go head go slash up the noose
With conclusive proof about the truth
The right
Cause whether we hitch hike or push
Bike or travel kind of trash
Manifest that with wholesome roots rap
Manifest that, yeah!
I do my zing way, ain't nothing else I know
Gone up in the life with
This here rag-and-bone flow
Squeeze the pain from my belly
And set my soul free
Travel over ocean, land and sea
Face nuff stress and difficulty
Flung back from the brink
Gwan in kinda stink
We don't give a frig about
What dem fools think frig your network
Our dett work will speak for it'self
Proof of the trophy and the champion belt
Come sun, come rain, come hailstone pelt

Witness the fitness the Cruffiton liveth
One hope, one quest witness the fitness
The Cruffiton liveth one hope, one quest
Witness the fitness the Cruffiton liveth
One hope, one quest witness the fitness
The Cruffiton liveth one hope, one quest

Bwana see me with some old time shit
Let the whole world know we's
On some off-key tip
Mega manic when time the pressure start lick
By the hook or by the crook
By the poop or by the kick
He's sickly cryptic, spitting the code
And most proud to present that Cruffiton mode
And it shows that the bro's
Done seen a few sleights
Life throws scenarios, reality bites
We in collision with the beast
Lost we religion now we cyaan get no peace
Eediat weakhearts want fi take I for chief
Stoop to their level and
We plotting cold grief
But we should know that
Discipline maketh the geez
Separation of the DAT from the rap
That's a must
Proceed set speed with the Cruffiton touch
Proceed set speedcruffiton, y'all

Witness the fitness the Cruffiton liveth
One hope, one quest witness the fitness
The Cruffiton liveth one hope, one quest
Witness the fitness the Cruffiton liveth
One hope, one quest witness the fitness
The Cruffiton liveth one hope, one quest
