LYRICSVerse 1
Everybody

We mashing hard, like a big big mack
bus
We coming out with pans a-blazing
Musical warfare that is we ting
And you know that is just a

Players and tuners, everybody ready
Masqueraders, even moko jumbie
We jamming hard we coming mighty
And you know we rolling heavy
Get out of the way...
Chorus
Aye, yes we

And we coming strong
Mashing up de town
And nobody’s going to try to keep us

To wake up yuh soul this carnival

For panorama, is war, is war, war,

Verse 3
I could feel
de tension rising dis year
Festival time, we injecting real
fear
Welders and fabricators working
Leaving a trail behind that smoking
And ya know that is just a fantastic
feeling
Well ya know it going to be real
pressure
Tell dem again dat we strong as ever
Get out de way, a champion coming
Look ya get yuh second warning
Is battle again...
Chorus
