Verse 1 Bunji Garlin
Check check check!
Check we ID, we ancestral lineage in d library
I laugh at d chain up and d things I see
Cause I'm d trini who doh follow everything I see,
Worldly artifacts they want to bring by me, TO WHAT!
Dem thing can't faze a king like me
When dem brainwash demself with oversea TV
I find a way to be myself real easy
Cause I'm a Trinidad Soldier of revelation
I alone bad like a rebel nation
I use shining bush as meh medication
West Indian Reader began my education
My common Sense higher than dem elevation
I see when dem political devil may come
Drive on dem like a licence van on wrightson
Wrestle dem just like a Wallerfield Field bison
Mud water and milk to cure d snake poison
Through d bush we send a message faster than Verizon
This is Bunji Garlin longside FREETOWN,
We free d music and free d song
Chorus
Trinidad ah come from but ah don't sing bout rum
I'm a born soldier check me meditation

I'm a born soldier check me meditation
Love lift me up tell me who go bring me down

Verse 2 Lou of FREETOWN
I want to be
Who I want to be
Why you want to put another thing in front ah me
Say from birth!
I never fit dem pants and shirt
Kings a d earth and I know what I worth
Never you trust them not for a minute
Always on d screen coming with another gimmick
I push it to d limit
Whatever you believe in
It is your prerogative so do it if you willing
My brother stop d k**ing
Cause all we k** is rhythm
Musically given and we driven and I told yuh
(and I already told yuh aye)
Man ah born soldier
(dat ah man ah born soldier aye)
and d message is we chrome yeah
(and d message is d chrome yeah aye)
So don't let dem control yuh
(so don't let dem control yuh aye)

Verse 3 Muhammad of FREETOWN
Well gimme something new
And gimme something fresh
Well gimme something that you never give nobody yet
I want to hear your soul when it talking
Heart when it beating,
I'll never leave you alone (yeah yeah!)
And yes d battle might be critical
But damage is a minimal
My Father is d general
I cannot be no criminal
No we never giving up
Not until we reach d top
Blessings just overflow
