Thievery Corporation - Radio Retaliation

Thievery Corporation Radio Retaliation Lyrics  Woah now, retaliation
Singing woah now, we a go wake up the nation
Radio retaliation, it's such a different corporation
We taking over your station and we a go change the vibration
People fi get up and pump them fist when sleepy talk
Hear mi transmission whether you drive or whether you walk
Put up me antenna inna the middle of the park
And transmit mi signal inna the light and inna the dark

Radio retaliate, and never ever get caught
And change the stereotype of people's wash over thoughts
Fifty thousand watts of Thievery hit them like poison darts
And watch the whole system what them build up fall apart

Singing woah now retaliation
Singing woah now, we a go wake up the nation
Radio retaliation, it's such a different corporation
We taking over your station and we a go change the vibration

Mi have the basic qualification, just fi get people straight
And juggle the microphone from eight o'clock back to eight
People give me the recommendation from the musical senate
Fi juggle the roundest sound, the mellowest sound
The sound with the most weight

Them stand up out of the corner, inna the driveway, outta mi gate
To hear the chief rocker them a fling dubplate
All who want fi challenge Thievery, then it's your time fi wait
And re-emerge from the scene, and wipe away all the hate

Radio retaliation, it's such a different corporation
We taking over your station and we a go change the vibration

Chief rocker Thievery Corp them pon the attack
With melody and sophistication make you bound have to rock
Sleepy wonder deh pon the mic, the ragga muffin speed rap
And if your vibes is inna the gutter, I will lift it up to the top

Eric and Rob them produce the beat, and invite Sleepy down fi chat
The combination of the crew, destroy your whole habitat
The main objection of the track is to tear the whole place flat
And have the people inna the lounge
Them want to get up, and they are singing

Woah now retaliation
Singing woah now, we a go wake up the nation
Radio retaliation, it's such a different corporation
We taking over your station and we a go change the vibration

Thievery Corporation - The State of the Union

Thievery Corporation The State of the Union Lyrics

The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should
And I know all the things you hide
Even though it's a good disguise
And we see all the things you do
And what you do will comeback on you
You think we can't fight what the eyes can't see
Because we are blinded by poverty

The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should

The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should

It's like the people you want them to rebel
And fire gunshots and burn buildings to hell
And after that you a go want treat me well
It's like you have the people under a spell
Talking to the people in a congress
A we vote you in, so you must put out your best
After all we no in a contest
It's the state of the union address

The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should

The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should

Broadcasting lies on the television screen
Trying to get us hooked on your american dream
We up on your games if you know wha me mean
When you cheated on your wife with your money and your schemes
People rule and a that you fi follow
We and nuh no call me no nigga
Do a good term and you deserve another
Signed musically yours, the general sleepywonder

The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should

The people live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a monckery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should

Thievery Corporation - The Richest Man In Babylon

Thievery Corporation The Richest Man In Babylon Lyrics

There is no quidance in your kingdom
Your wicked walk in Babylon
There is no wisdom to your freedom
The richest man in babylon

Your beggars sleep outside your doorway
Your prophets leave to wander on
You fall asleep at night with worries
The saddest man in Babylon

The wicked stench of exploitation
Hangs in the air and lingers on
Beneath the praise and admiration
The weakest man in Babylon

There is no hope left in your kingdom
Your servants have burned all their songs
Nobody here remembers freedom
The richest man in Babylon

(scat)
babylon no get rich again
but to end up sick again
and you end up weak again
babylon
(scat)

babylon you run
you better know you you better understand
the rancher man you better hear what we say
babylon this is your final day
babylon this is your final call
read the writing that's on the wall
see divided we stand
and together we fall
you never know that
you not gon' catch me in a rat pack
we not gon' fall away from it jah
no way

Thievery Corporation - Warning Shots

Thievery Corporation Warning Shots Lyrics


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

Thievery Corporation - Until The Morning (Rewound By Kid Loco)

Thievery Corporation Until The Morning (Rewound By Kid Loco) Lyrics

I keep on fear, keep on loathing
Nothing brings it on I keep on falling
Decide what it is I can not find

It's subsides what you make it
Never feel like you're gonna break it
It's gonna be alright alright

Sleep until the morning comes
The sun will warm your soul
Sleep until the morning comes for you

Til the morning it's alright
I can walk into the sunlight
into the day, into the day, to the day

I feel it falling, nothing comes to my mind
Bring it on in a different tide
I feel alright, alright now

I feel strong, i feel rigid
It's nothing to do with the vision
Oh feels so right, so right

Sleep on tight, sleep on tight
Sleep until the sunlight, sleep until sunlight
Sleep on tight, sleep on tight, sleep on tight

Sleep on tight, til the sunlight
Sleep on tight, til the sunlight burns you happy
Til the sunlight burns you happy
Till the sunlight burns a happy hole in your heart

In your heart
In your heart...

Trip Like Me

I'm currently trapped in the middle of a midterm mayhem. 3 more to go, and I'm done for the week. Maybe after that I will actually get around to checking the 250+ emails piling up in my inbox, in which there must be some decent stuff I might not know about yet.
Anyways, in the meantime, I really could use some aural "chill pills". Here's another mix created strictly for the night-time. Enjoy. (Note: non-direct links this time)

Monday Mix: Rare Downtempo Remixes

Last weekend, I was going on a remix crave as I was able to track down a plethora of ultra rare remixes. Some of them truly succeeded in shedding a new light on old favorites. I was so in the mood that I decided to scroll through my library to find 5 excellent reinterpretations and compile a quick winter mix. Here they are, and each and every track deserves a place in your music collection. I think just the names of the artists and the remixers are enough for a guarantee. Looks like my 2007 won't close its curtains in all cheers & laughters, so I need all the aural pills I can get and be prepared for any turn of events. Oh how I envy those who can listen to music for a living.
