Hol’ It Up

[Intro: Riddla]
Yeah. Check dis. Y'know
Tropical shit, y’know?
Like the juice that you be drinking in the morning
Alright, check

[Verse 1: Riddla]
To my boys that hassle banks like Jimmy Floyd
NatWest, TSB, Lloyds and Abbey, make some noise, oi oi
To my Yoruban gs and Ghanaians that speak twi
With more paper than Fleet Street, free
I want cash like the UK GDP, made legally
Money works for me, my best employee
Who will fend for me when I'm rundown and need pals
?????? nicer cos I'm that much wiser
You might be earning sterling but ain’t a cash analyzer
Girls heard I'm from Niger and think I'm far from a miser
But I say I'm Ghanaian and don't end up paying
But I say I'm Ghanaian and don't end up paying!

[Chorus: Roots Manuva]
We just hol' it up
If you got weed you just roll it up
If you’re drinking Tennent’s you should sober up
Got a hole in your sock you better sew that up
No shame in our game, put the Mo' in a cup
We move and strut
Yeah, we walking with lady luck
Never gonna dead no stinking bruck
Yo! Ah who dem a try fi come chat

[Verse 2: Roots Manuva]
Yo, check out my venomous thought (for real)
My front teeth gnashing over minimal keys
Just give me my cheese
Let the bwana proceed with a good heart structure
Jog to the riddim, head bop to the riddim
Bust a one foot skank and see signs in the riddim
We drinking this wine and we smoking this skunk
And all of a sudden I felt my heartbeat jump
Is it the Holy Ghost, or weed psychosis
Something got me feeling like a modern day Moses
People might laugh as I walk with my staff
True they never knew I just took my purple bath
Banana hope, banana boat, Banana Klan
International shock ting, seeds from the motherland
Spanning the planet with extension of love
Spanning the planet with extension of dub
Summa dem ah butterfly summa dem ah grub!

[Chorus: Roots Manuva]
We just hol’ it up
If you got weed you just roll it up
If you're drinking Tennent's you should sober up
Got a hole in your sock you better sew that up
No shame in our game, put the Mo' in a cup
We move and strut
Yeah, we walking with lady luck
Never gonna dead no stinking bruck
Yo! Ah who dem a try fi come chat

[Outro: Riddla]
?????????, Roots Manuva
Trying to make the grands like Puba
This is how we do it, you nahmean
Never done, still having fun
Been a kipper since I was a nipper, yeah
