Cant you see ay

Cant you see ay

Cant you see that im a boss MC ay

Cant you see ay

Cant you see ay

Cant you see that im a boss MC, the way me bad me should of been pon tv

The tree wise man is Colonel, Levi and me

You wan learn the farce style check Levy

You wan roll your tongue check Colonel D

Wan lyric and style check Tippa irie

The tree a we togeddar live like a family

and if we mek a money it divide by tree

A find to honesty that is the best policy

Dats the way how to survive inna dis a country

Ya deal wid baddness, ya check for vanity

Ya dont work fe jah, you is a devil pickney

If you're a satan follower than me an you na could be

Ca me and you na talk me and you cant agree

Ca me and you could never sit down smoke no Sensi

Ca you have the intelligence of a baby

You should stay inna yard and wet ya nappy

and play in high chair and suck ya dummy

Ca i man prey Jah and Jah only

Inna Ingland dem say ghost inn Jamiaca duppy

But Dennis get mad Dennis angry

Ca Worzel always spenning him petrol money

Lick wood and shout forward inn dis a dance e

Ca im a MC at the highest degree

and no small fry join the Saxon Posse

Ya fighter could a san like the master Sandy

Ya av e show expression like tha master Rusty

To know the meaning of a word then look in your dictionary

Im not iliterate jah man im kinda brainy

An impudent man can use him body

Him can grine a gal no matter how im randy

Me say the udder day me ride pon a 36b

Me cork up me foot beside a white lady

She said "Young man take your foot down cos you're taking liberty"

"I said listen white lady and listen carefully"

"Im not prejudice, im not a Nazi"

"I love every man and woman and pickney"

"Dis is not your bus its not your property"

"keep ya nose inna ya book and read ya story"

Conductor came along i gave him my 10p

"He said are under 16"

"I said most certainly"

"He said whats your date of birth"

"I said i lost memory"

"He said look here young man dont try to be funny"

"If you're under 16 then i am Paul McCartney"

Theres 3 million unemployed i blame the iron lady

I hope every man and woman will agree

Its the iron lady mek we live poverty

Dem should of blind the slut dog so the bitch couldnt see.

Man thats a good idea, if only.

I cant understand why Trevor Sax, D. Rowe and dem man dare havent already done that.

Le Moor - for real, I was thinking imagine a site where you could download Saxon V Ghettotone form 1983 where philip Levi cuss of Lesley Lyrics...you know a full archive, even if each sound systemm had their own web site where you could listen to clips and segments from sessions...man you know how many D90's have reeled up on me never to be replaced

Sounds at the top like Saxon and Coxsone have spent hundreds of thousands over the years on equipment and dub plates - I think it's a sad waste that many of those specials will never be heard again....I'd hate to think they're just protecting their investments.

Still where there's a will there's a way. I remember a few years back I wondered why there isn't a website that lists reggae music by the rhythm track where you can pick a tune and list all songs by different artists on that same riddim, this is absolutely essential when you want to compile counteractions yet now they're popping up all over the place

Keeping a session down in Rome

They sent for Papa Caesar and Ranking Pope

Pope Paul Hifi a' fling di music down

In the vatican sodomites a' boogie down

12 midnight Selassie-I touch down

Parked his chariot on the vaticans ground

Took 12 minutes to string up his sound

Selassie turned on his amp Israel gathered round

Saying Pope-Paul's idrins comeen like clowns

The dutty little sodomites dem a' bend down

a' shout out Pope Hifi wear the crown

Selassie baseline tough like rock stone

He turned it half way the Pope's sound got drowned

When Moses touched down on the microphone

the whole of the vatican roof came down.

That was the clash of all time. I used to own two tapes of this clash, one of them cut with both Mcs as a lot circulating only had Levi chanting

I would love to hear some of the Saxon Dubs again, i feel like ive been in mourning ever since.

There is. dancehallmusic.de - riddimbase | Tunes by Shabba Ranks

Follow that link there and you can put in virtually any artist/ and find every tune they made/ name of riddim/ label/ Producer and year of release. Its a good tool.

'Missed the popping all over the place..' well if you dont know that one its one more.

@BT Good site.

@Incog I think i spoke too soon, have you looked around the link you posted. Theres some serious old school SAXON/Coxsone etc downloads on there. Check out the poster GLAMOUR who is an ardent Saxon fan has 4000 sound tapes, 200 of which are Saxon. Ive downloaded a few already. Im certain i will find the Saxon vs Ghettotown link as its been mentioned on this site several times. If not im going pm this guy and im sure he will have it.

Squeak squeak squeak ca you're mouse not a rat

Well tek dis from me beca me na stand for dat

Ya tink ya is big but ya not and dats a fact

Ya best believe me its the bottom dat you're at

Pon de the dub of a riddim like a duck you a quack

Ya na say nutin to mek the people dem react

I wouldn't be surprised if some a dem a tek a nap

And for dose dat a listen all they can say is yuk

The voice dat dem had is you who mek dem lose dat

Ca expression, aggression, and style is what ya lack

Ya voice its sad ca de note a dead flat

And to any kinda rub a dub it does not attract

I couldnt even..........................................

@ BT and Incog

Oh lawd have mercy, the mourning is over, Incog bredrin i owe you for a thousand yrs for posting that link and here's my first installment.

SAXON Vs UNITY- HOMMERTON ROAD, HACKNEY- Wednesday 16th November 1983 (11:13pm)

Man Levi was so god damm advanced its was frightening, breddar could bury entire sounds on his own and did nuff times too....lol. Check out how criss Colonel sounds on his first set and OMG how sweet the first Cocca T dubplate sounds, which Colonel introduces on his first set. Also forgot how Mickey General was easily my favourite Danchall singer those times. I will try and find an unbelieveable dub Saxon cut with him

Dem come in a de place
And dem run up dem mowt
Dem never know Daddy Saxon is a sound dat could never ever get hung whoa
With a MC full of lyrics
And an MC full of gimmics
Hang a sound, hang a sound, hang a sound, all today
Dat no lie
Saxon ago hang a sound, hang a sound, hang a sound, all today

Sorry getting friggin carried away now....lol

You may have to download a zip file first to listen to some of the links from the dancehall site. The file is called WinRaR and you have to just follow the microsoft link if it comes up as default. The latest Windows media player automatically converts a lot of the files after asking you "do you wish to search for right extension"

Le Moor - that's what forums are for bro

Yeah Levi was way ahead of his time, way ahead. His talent rubbed off onto the rest of them Saxon dudes - they all promoted intelligent lyrics. Back in them days nuff man would chat four lines and repeat them, Levi was a breath of fresh air.

Saying that, Colonel used to have a lyric about nobody can roll their tongue like him, in one session he tried to keep up with Horseman (from Dread Diamond) and nearly bit off his own tongue

Horseman, now Lord David V Ghettotone with Horseman riding Fight Fight by Don Carlos and Dennis Brown's Easy take it Easy (you're too rough) - that was a dance!! Him and Ricky Ranking could mash up any blues or dance.

Also don't ramp with Daddy IP from Coxone...he was a breath of fresh air but I heard drugs got the better of him in the end. That was back in 85 the times when all these street madness was just beginning for me. They found him dead in the Thames, heard the effects of drowning made his head swell to ten times its normal size.

And from 1985 to say 1995 Tenor Fly was an absolute don, at one stage he had the game to himself but admittedly most sounds where just clashing dub for dub by then and lyrics and riding riddim kind of went out the window...it was all about the international sound clash.

But back to Tippa, he had this wicked lyric that went something like this...

Only Jah know weh mek mi lyrics a' flow

I have lyrics in my eye I have lyrics on my nose I have lyrics on my shoulder going down my elbow

I have lyrics on my back my foot my belly and my toe

That is no word of a lie it's what I want you to know

My tool is not a knife my tool's the micro

In England I rate myself and in Jamaica Ringo

Do yo love your girl enough to give her your last rolo!

But I do not eat no bounty twix no mars or aero...

Yeah...got to stop downloading...or even uploading some of my classics
