Buzzing up with a musical attack
Rip it up with a boom sound we no lack
Got the rhythms the dub plat killa tracks
Annihilate and destroy them we do that
Letting them know that ah we come fe
Rock and control again
Ho ho well
Setting the pace in the place
Volume up driving them insane
Oh that's right

No weak heart can take it
Burn it to the ground
Watch how we shatters and we break it

Cannot take the music killa sound

Annoying neighbours are banging on your door
Saying that they can't take your noise no more
Your bass is right in there face sounds murder raw
But ain't turning it off so call the law

The rockers is hard and is here to stay
Ho ho well

And back off and just go away
