Warning Shots

Artist: "Thievery Corporation"

Single from Thievery Corporation's fourth studio album "The Cosmic Game"

This rugged block-rockin' breakbeat v.s. ragga mash-up features nimble toasting by dancehall veteran Sleepy Wonder and the sensual crooning of near-eastern chanteuse Gunjan.



They try their best just to mash up the resistance
Warning shots and sirens from a distance
Riot gear and barricade for an instance
And the words from mi mouth, mi nuh response
Hollywood sending signals of destruction
Stereotype the ghetto youths as the bad man
Overcome the rough times and we grow strong
Step up in a life, now them want to shake we hand


We are eternal, made of the creator
Won’t fall to the soul-less devastators
Divide and conquer, and try to separate us
Up to this day, them still try fi rape us
