Story behind the song
I had this beat in raw form just lying around. Daaknite came to the studio one day and heard it and dropped this song on it immediately. His style is Rapso, its a local artform in Trinidad which combines Rap in the form of Spoken Word and Calypso roots - Rapso. Rapso itself is very spiritual so it was real interesting to see Daaknite bring this twist to a party song. Its what we would call a "Callaloo" (mixup). Just real vibes.
Lyrics
Start to spar with my own evil shadow
Verse 1
Ah practicing mih art like it is a form
Down in depths I challenging the norm
Changing mih game face I set mihself a pace
I done take a charge to lead de race
Hear de chant when I belt it out
Demons done scatter when ah open up mih mout
Glorify, Rastaman say I
Feeling the body pressure building in I
Taking careful steps when ah break it down
CHORUS
Oh Lord, If yuh feel the power come in strong
Lord If yuh feel the power come in strong
Just bring it in da dance
Bring it in da dance
Verse 2
Start to spar with mih own evil shadow
Feet twist fast cause I dont want no follow
Catch de swing when mih tongue do ting
Whole evening is me practicing
Rip yuh shirt off if the spirit catch yuh
Let the energy that it begging travel thru yuh
Hands so nimble and the muscles tremble
The mic and the chant is the master lesson
CHORUS
Oh Lord if yuh feel the power come in strong
Lord if yuh feel the power come in strong
Just bring it in da dance
Bring it in da dance
Verse 3:
Phased and amazing sights done catch yuh mind
Travelling thru dimensions and time
Meet your forefathers and yuh great granddaughter
All for this little piece of soil and water
Danger skitter on the edge of power
Conduit is me, look me fly like Jet Li
Rampaging thru the towers of your mind
All these words transcend hyper time
The amazing cometh, bombs out of lair
Looking for the evil overLord in his chair
Laughing out ferociously, I'm in his hair
Killer sound rude boy done chant like ah dont care
CHORUS:
Oh Lord, If yuh feel the power come in strong
Lord If yuh feel the power come in strong
Just bring it in da dance
Bring it in da dance
Verse:
Yuh feel like ? when my head be twisting
Bombs will be blasting when my mout start opening
Juicing up yuh mind or preparing for war
Hold the mic firm as yuh stepping out the door
Make sure what yuh say yuh come to say it sure
Grit them teeth cause in here is the Law
Messiah in the wire begging for the praise in awe
Holding up the words cause you know it is the Law
On storytelling, on dissing, on chanting on
enemies hating on what it is ah saying
CHORUS
Just bring it in da dance
Bring it in da dance
Start to spar with my own evil shadow
Start to spar with my own evil shadow
