Big Bad Sound (feat. Chronicle)

[Chronicle]

Oh lord

Oh lord

[Chronicle & Chronixx]

Tell the people uptown

And the one dem downtown

The general come round

String up your big bad sound

Natty never come down

(Never)

Ah no me alone

(Nah mi alone)

Burning like a fire

The general come round

[Chronixx]

Like father like son the general ah pass through

Give me little space make me dolly past you

And mi nuh 'fraid fi come grab the mic and slew

'Cah me steamin' up like a ital stew

General you wah see ah general here now

First class deejay me well phenomenal

And me ram up any dance with microphone inna mi hand

But if ah real general Selassie ah di only one

Haile Selassie I, conquering lion

Ah from the land of King Solomon

Reign and rule over Ethiopian

Reign the believing ark of covenant

More than the dwellings of Jacob and Abraham

So the lord God loveth holy mount Zion

From Queen of Sheba comes David second

Go notify the Vatican and tell the people

[Chronicle & Chronixx]

Tell the people uptown

(People uptown)

And the one dem downtown

(And the one dem downton)

The general come round

(The general come round)

String up your big bad sound

(String up your big bad sound)

Natty never come down

(Natty never come down anno me alone)

Ah no me alone

Burning like a fire

The general come round

[Chronixx]

The general come round

Come round, come round, come round

Nuh make me wait when mi come fi mi crown

The city hot like a Kingston town

Zion ah burn like a sun come down

Trumpet loud like ah Stone Love sound

Tongue confess, every knee bow down

Tell every king weh ah claim dem ah king fi leave di compound when dem buck up on me

Haffi make way fi Selassie pickney

Zion and the terrible they coming with me

Everything we do ah fi di king glory

So, everywhere mi go Jah Jah deh pon di journey

When ah war time yuh know we sling ever ready

Yuh know so by time you look we done everything already

Who slew the giant them mi daddy

[Chronicle & Chronixx]

Tell the people uptown

(People uptown)

And the one dem downtown

(And the one dem downton)

The general come round

(The general come round)

String up your big bad sound

(String up your big bad sound)

Natty never come down

(Natty never come down anno me alone)

Ah no me alone

Burning like a fire

The general come round

[Chronixx]

Mi and mi poppa like David and Jesse

Mi and mi daddy Solomon and Menelik

Mi got di bing inna mi right hand, river stone inna mi left

Philistine nuh come in but the natty never fret

Mi ever ready covenant mi never leff

Tell Goliath say ah riot when mi step

When mi dip and mi come and then mi cuff him then mi queff him

Him ah dizzy and ah stagger pon di ground then mi leff

Good lord, Jah know

General deh ya you ain't gotta wait no more

Good lord, Jah know

General deh ya you ain't gotta wait no more (x2)
