[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
Lard- a- [Em]mercy
We drinking snapper
'Cause we feeling dirty
Oh, Manuva alongside the Wildflower
Ah, ha
This type of flower y'all

[Verse 2]
Blessings [Em]blessings
Yessings yessings
I'll give you want
If you give me what I need
Time to [E]say [Em]grace
Take your place
To the [E]hu man race

[Verse 3]
Yo [E]yo it go
Ever am I [Em]jamming
My flip [E]stay conges[Em]ted
Clinically[E]tested
Certified [Em]pure
Gaining more ground [E]than the [Em]floor
Before you knew shite
I kicked down your front door
We put drums and b- lines
And stain your inner [E]mind
Boldly you are struck with
[Em]this Rootique design
See I don't
Know no [E]better
[Em]Than to keep my shit [E]deep
Ticking over [Em]time till my week end my sleep
I shun the ways of all sheep- like types
When I grips mics you get pure
blessed strength
Heaven sent, making heathens repent
Push your bad shit back
Here comes the [E]bap[Em]tism
[E]Don't key nuff his instant com
[Em]position (?)
And there'll be [E]no [Em]backsliding
in my church
'Cause [E]I hurt like the truth
Check my magazine
[Em]Any which way heathens
[E]must [Em]get redeemed
[E]Be

[Verse 4]
[Em]fore you get [E]the wrong
[Em]idea
Here's something I got to make clear
The ex- experts with the expert[E]ise
[Em]Ain't got no place[B] over here[Em]

[Verse 5]
[Em]Before you get the wrong
Start acting wrong strong
If you ever catch me dancing on a table [E]top
In a thong, in a seedy [Em]dive
Looking sad [E]like my
stuff's [Em]gone wrong
Yeah, for now I look [E]focussed,
diligent, strong
Point [Em]is to make me warn ya
That you never know quite
what's around the corner
See, if I had the gift of foresight
Wishing I could tell you, babe,
that it'll be all right
But don't forget to live up
in the hear and now
[E]While you thinking 'bout
the year two thou'
For the future don't be scared
Be prepared to [Em]stop chase the
chattels and the [E]vanity
Get in touch with your soul
and [Em]spirituality
Before the full calamity is here, my dear
My fire's still burning like a spear
Wildflower, Roots Manuva, make it clear,
make it clear

[Verse 6]
We make it blouse [Em]not clear

[Verse 7]
[Em]Before you get the wrong [E]idea
[Em]Here's something I got to make clear
The ex- experts with the expertise
Ain't got [E]no [Em]place over here
Before you get the wrong idea
Here's something I [B]got to make [Em]clear
The ex- experts with the expertise
Ain't got no place over here

[Verse 8]
[Em]Over here. Over where?
I stay pensive
Keep my flex of trashion expensive
Dem A&R stay anally retentive
You tink how I step fras I just
Deal with the matter put
my heart pon plate
White labels in a suitcase
Photocopies of some spiel
and my black face
I'm on the [E]corner of East [Em]Street
Yelling, rag and bones style
Greet the man's [E]with a spud
Greet the skeets with a smile
Frig 'em all,
here stands [Em]the heart, the balls
So [E]if you truly sick [Em]and tired
of the [E]bullshite hype[Em]
Back a local man and make a stand
Sing nah
We don't wannabe, [A]we just [Em]be
We most uncouth, we un- PC
Kick the sand in your face
The ace is mine
Travelcard in my pocket running
under the Thames
Heading North of the river
to collect two ends
It go

[Verse 9]
[Em]Before you get the wrong idea
Here's something I [B]got to make
[Em]Something I got to
Before you get the wrong idea
Here's something I got to make clear
The ex- experts with the expertise
Ain't got no place over here
Before you get the wrong idea
Here's something [E]I got to m[Em]ake clear
The ex- experts with the expertise
Ain't got no place over here
Over here
Before you get the wrong idea
Here's something I got to make clear
The ex- experts with the expertise
Ain't got no [B]place over
[Em]here
