[Intro: Roots Manuva]
How many y'all guys say want freestyle?
There will be no blows not freestyle
This style is not free, the style is expensive alright!!
Hold tight youth

[Verse 1: Roots Manuva]
Love of self I possess, through life to death
Yigga y'all, yes'm it's the up front fresh
My level is seldom seen, few and far between
Them fools they couldn't douse my keen
??Lean to the mean for a Brad-picky-head??
Slapped in the face, trapped down I guess
Sunset to sunset, but don't sweat yet
??Cool and don't fret while the doves them hold me??
I'm picky with precision, I've made my decision then
Death itself can't hold us down
Cause the seeds of progress, dem done get sowed
My tough back, broke the cane in four
Face flat to the floor but I found the strength
To commence with a brand new sense of self
Here go Zulu, comin' through
Tokyo train style, hip it to the crew

[Chorus: Leftfield & Roots Manuva]
(Down like dirt man we dusted), get up!
(Down like dirt man we dusted), get up!
[Verse 2: Roots Manuva]
Nothing but my cuts and my rebel life flex
But I won't waste my breath, I'll let actions speak
Tough this beat stands taller than the peak of Everest
I visualize, embrace the progress
Chin-high, puff chest, I get right to it
The choice is, there is no choice but to pursue it
Soul on the mind, mind on the soul
My struggle remains, but my inside grows

[Chorus]
(Down like dirt man we dusted), get up!
(Down like dirt man we dusted), get up!
Against the grain we shall remain, huh

[Break]
Yeah, steamin' on

[Verse 3: Roots Manuva]
Gain enough guff, gain enough ground
Movement tight, planet-wide flight
In a tight set to step to the hype
Left-to-the-field now, lookin' good
Wait till this wayward bounce
Proud to announce I'm steadfast - stuck in my way
I heed not no hearsay: I put my trust in my
Own perceptions and knowledge of self
[Chorus: Leftfield & Roots Manuva]

Get yourself into hard life - get up!

[Outro: Roots Manuva]
The power of the inner eye huh
That's the strength of we
Groove, word, birth to the next realm
Motion splendid, it bring quality
Now my foresight see with nuff clarity
Motion splendid, it bring quality
Now my foresight see with nuff clarity

Hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight
Hold tight, hold tight
