Children of Men movie - Witness (1 Hope) lyrics

rate me

Song by Roots Manuva<br /><br>

Taskmaster burst the bionic zit-splitter<br>

Breakneck speed we drown ten pints of bitter<br>

We lean all day and some say that ain't productive<br>

That depend upon the demons that you're stuck with<br>

Cause right now, I see clearer than most<br>

I sit here contending with this cheese on toast<br>

I feel the pain of a third world famine<br>

Segue, we count them blessings and keep jamming<br>

It's him scumbag, scum of the earth, his worth was nil<br>

Until he gained the skill of tongues<br>

From fifteen years young straight to my greyback self<br>

I stay top shelf material, jerk chicken, jerk fish<br>

Breakaway slave, bliss<br>

Generate gees and then we stash 'em in the Swiss<br>

Fools can't see this, audio pistols<br>

A fistful of hip hop banzai, progressing in the flesh<br>

Esoteric quotes, most frightening<br>

Duppy took a hold of my hand while I was writing<br>

Let go me ting, duppy, let go me hand<br>

I summon up the power of banana clan!<br>

<br>

[Chorus x4]<br>

<br>

Witness the fitness<br>

The Cruffiton liveth<br>

One hope, one quest<br>

<br>

Swigging that beetroot juice, now we dipping and boost<br>

Set the spirit dem loose, go head go slash up the noose<br>

We conclusive proof of both the truth, the right<br>

Cause whether we hitchhike or push bike or travel kind of trash<br>

Manifest that with wholesome roots rap, manifest that, yeah!<br>

I do my same way, ain't nothing else I know<br>

Gone up in the life with this here rag-and-bone flow<br>

Squeeze the pain from my belly and set my soul free<br>

Travel over ocean, land and sea, face nuff stress and difficulty<br>

Flung back from the brink, gwan in kinda stink<br>

We don't give a frigg about what dem fools think<br>

Frigg your network, our debt work a speak for itself<br>

Proof of the trophy and champion belt<br>

Come sun, come rain, come hailstone pelt<br>

<br>

[Chorus x4]<br>

<br>

Bwana Smith with some old time shit<br>

Let the whole world know we on some off-key tip<br>

Mega-manic when time the pressure start lick<br>

By the hook or by the crook, by the poop or by the kick<br>

He's sickly cryptic, spitting that code<br>

And most proud to present that Cruffiton mode<br>

And it shows that they bros done seen a few sleights<br>

Life throws scenarios, reality bites<br>

We in collision with the beast<br>

Lost we religion and we can't get no peace<br>

Idiot weakhearts want to take I for chief<br>

Stoop to their level and we plotting cold grief<br>

But we should know that discipline maketh the gees<br>

Separation of the DAT from the rap, that's a must<br>

Proceed set speed with the Cruffiton touch<br>

Proceed set speed..Cruffiton, y'all<br>

<br>

[Chorus x4]<br>

<br>
