Bass Culture Lyrics

Linton Kwesi Johnson Bass Culture

Muzik of blood
Black reared
Pain rooted
Heart geared

All tensed up
In the bubble and the bounce
An the leap an the weight-drop

It is the beat of the heart
This pulsing of blood
That is a bublin' bass
A bad bad beat
Pushin' against the wall
Whey bar black blood

An is a whole heappa
Passion a gather
Like a frightful form
Like a righteous harm
Giving off wild like is madness
