Lyrics

So you’ve got to live up to your name
 Or else I’ll put you to shame... listen!
 If you say you a selector
 You a fe have good selection
 A-and I say if you say you a de special
 Man I say I want to know your potential
 You a say you a madness
 You a say you a de best
 But when I put you ’pon you feet
 A-some a-some a say you can’t play de beat
 And I hear you say a clash a you ruler
 Say a clash sound cooler, eh!
 Say a clash sound sweeter
 And now-a-days man a measure mile in a metre, eh!
 Live up to your name
 Or else you die in shame
 A-and a so me say fe live up to your name
 A so me tell you say you die in shame
 Some a dem a bodysnatcher
 Some a dem a barracuda, eh!
 But who a know fe me jah jah
 Fe me jah a me creator, eh!
 Flying saucers, rock-and-roll
 Natty dread a fe be in control
 It’s all in the whirlwind
 I say you’ve gone with the blockhead
 A-and I say me say dat some a dem a sex pistol
 Nipple erectors
 A so me tell you set dem sp...(? ) man a gone
 An...(? ) farm(? )
 And I’ll tell you ’bout the x-generation...
 Me know dem a victimed
 ’cause dem no know fe me sweet jah jah, eh!
 Clash a you ruler
 Say a clash sound cooler
 A-and I tell you say a clash sound sweeter
 And now-a-days man measure mile in a metre
 A none a dem deh measure gallon in a litre
 And I tell you say me know dem a cheat ya
 ’cause when you living inna fame
 You got to live up to your name
 Or else a suffer and you die inna shame
 And I tell you say it’s all in the game, eh!
 Some a say dem a selector
 Dem a fe have good selection
 Or else deh moving in the wrong direction
 And deh no know dis a reggae vibration
 A-and a so me say a clash a you ruler
 And dis ya one a say it a musically cooler, eh!
 Me say fe live up to your name
 Or else you suffer and you die inna shame
 ’cause when you living inna fame
 A so me tell you say it’s all in the game
 And so me talkin’ about
 Specials and madness beats,
 Big body snatcher, (? ), eh!
 Flying saucers, rock-and-roll
 See you gone in the whirlwind
 A-and I tell you say, a you a de blockhead
 And some will tell you dat you dreader than dread
 And a-some a say a clash a you ruler
 See a clash sound cooler, aaaye!
 Clash sound sweeter
 Man a measure mile in a metre, eh!
 When you living inna fame
 You got to live up to your name
 Or else you suffer and you die inna shame
 It’s all in the game, eh!
 This is the game of life
 We no wa’ no strife
 Game of life
 We no wa’ no strife, no no
 Don’t, no no no no
 F*ckin’ hell mickey
