In On Di Air is a Raprobeat song about fighting the Babylon system with music. At the same time it fights down Babylon it also squashes "dibi sound" or a wack sound system or set. Rap + Afrobeat= Raprobeat.
lyrics
In On Di Air
(Verse Big Zoo and Nonzeo)
I'm into sending a scout and then doubling back
I'm into makin' moves forward but cover the track
I'm into investigation - uncovering facts
Into the history of what they done done to the Blacks
What they done to the poor - they wicked to the core
First it's handshakes then it's lay down get on the floor
And they chaining your throat - then you up on the boat
Then it's hello America- that's all she wrote
This is a group of people puttin they fist in
And on 3 repeatin' the phrase in unison
A unit overachieving to reach one goal
By combining the spirit with the mind, body, and soul
Defeatin' the undefeated- beating the unbeaten
Awaken the undead- awoken but still sleepin'
Frontline front seatin- the history repeatin'
Bringing it back to when we all fought for a reason
Cause we all on the same level fightin for freedom
And we all tempted by the devil fightin them demons
From catchin a break down and catchin a beaten
And find those with like mind- form an allegiance
Form a weather-proof unit that lasts for all seasons
The power is prime now it's time for unleashin'
Darwin disciple- scope on the rifle
We kill competition and take ya title
(Chorus- Jugg, None, & Zoo)
Gun in di air- one in on di air
Fist in on di air - dibi sound stand clear
Gun in di air- one in on di air
Fist in on di air - dibi sound
Gun in di air- one in on di air
Fist in on di air - Babylon stand clear
Gun in di air- one in on di air
Fist in on di air - Babylon
(Jugg Verse)
We juggle two for ten cause yo we gotta boost the business
Me and Hip-Hop and just like roots and culture and the Guinness
Stage is a war - then the mic booth is a scrimmage
We come fi wake the town here come the Red Coats the British
Cause what England start yo American waan fi finish
Babylon microchip you know they try to shoot stuff in us
We come with Yard-talk cause we got the roots up in us
And leave this wilderness before this whole place diminish
The E the O and the Dub the None, the Zoo, and the Jugg
The gun, the clip, and the slug- let me tell you wha a gwaan
The fist, the one in the air- the kick, the hat, and the snare
Just when you thought it left we got the culture music here-YO
Dibi sound and Babylon- send dem down with Vatican
Mash dem with the mic in me hand- overstand we fightin' the man
Try fi dash the rights of the man- Jah know that no right fi di man
Meditation pon Zion - reach new heights fi di man.
(Chorus)
(Sub-hook)
Stand clear Big Zoo a talk
None pon the sound and Juggla pon the track
Stand clear Big Zoo a talk
Watch out - we run New York
Dibi sound come - we bust em off the block
Stand clear Big Zoo a talk
None pon the sound and Juggla pon the track
Stand clear Big Zoo a talk
Watch out - we run New York
E.O.W. come - we buss up di block
(Chorus)
