Shan-ah-shan Lyrics & Chords By Smiley Culture

Shan a Shan – Smiley Culture
Shan a shan, bowl a bowl "e" a "e," "o" a "o"
Shan a shan, bowl a bowl "e" a "e," and me seh all da tra-ow
So listen dem ya fashaan dis is how di story go
Mi born mi grow ina di ghetto dem a why haafi know
Now I'm a big pan di microphone already so tell you mi frighten fi grow
Still everybody know everyone pan a earth will reap what they sow
So do good and good will follow you do bad and down you will go
Mi no knock in a game let mi down my name but mi don't like borrow
And when mi go a continents mi take hovercraft mi don't haafi row
Mi no walk pon sea mi no swim pon land like others mi know
But any I'm wah rich quick on mi feet seh di hovercraft too slow
Dem a jump in mi car drive a bolt in mi mind an mi reach a Heathrow
Book a flight na pon sky train Concorde but a cris-cris and bow
Smiley Culture takes play pon di plane and mi know seh mi voice sensi row
But wide suppress mi no know mi no know mi no know
So I rest dem say its dancing flat but its nice and mellow
And I like the way you make every line just end with an "o"
But a no any stewardess know a dis could a make mi wink mi I grow
No fi seh mi fi seh mi super come in now you know how it go
So me glide when plane and upper more try drive mi to the show
Yes sun did a shine no rain did a fall like a breeze did a blow
So owe to da pusher dey could a see its fi mi arm and elbow
When mi reach inna show its like when mi just lump at the jumbo
But dis time mi a da pilot me steering wheels dem micro
An you know from is I Smiley Culture
a crouch down a da high trol tower is just all system go
through mi ride riddim fast and mi ride riddim slow
When you hear dis ya one ya, you rock to and fro
Through wi create dis ya one ya wi don't know a grow
Shan a shan, ball a ball "e" a "e," "o" a "o"
Shan a shan, ball a ball "e" a "e," and me seh order tra-ow
So listen dem a fashaan dis is how di story go
But some of da best em all a mc don't live afa mi
Wit dis kinda melody dat sumpm else you fi know
But I man is original deh's no mc dat follow
Mi don't sit down pon mi yaad with mi spliff an ting an ‘ mi lyrics dem flow
But how dem com mi no know mi no know mi no know
Jam a song jam a song jam a song only Jah must know
Still weh mi deh a from mi no walk countries strictly uptown disco
So if dey had a mic staan in Russia mi deh I mus go
Or when to perform mi ina Canada mi in Toronto
In America mi touch New York Harlem an' San Fransisco
And down there Jamaica Kingston hot so mi cool down Bay Montego
Deh some of the places I've visited already and again I will go
Through my eyes weh me see on my mouth weh mi chuck down mi trunk mi swallow
On mi yaad mi no watch television no watch strictly video
But Smiley Culture a no idiot I'm a still no watch television show
Seh Phil Silvers is a soldier when it stars Sergeant Bilco
Peter Parker's good detective him stars Russ Columbo
Peter Sellers is another good one when it stars Inspector Clouseau
But a body scance a all to all gangster Lucky Luciano
So no bother fi seh you could a fool mi whether you a friend or a foe
As you must while go no mi tournament Smiley Culture's a pro
So let mi teach you what mi know
Coz da profile mi keep in more time it'll blow
And mi like fi fire intelligent style in a row
Seh you love dis style crowd a people in de dance so smile of it bow
And make mi fi de vibes ca ina di style lyrics can go flow
Shan a shan, ball a ball "e" a "e," "o" a "o"
Shan a shan, ball a ball "e" a "e," and me seh older tra-ow
Mi no smoke mi cigar mi no aba no mercy I normally brow
A da strictly African sensi Smiley Culture inhale an blow
Dats why mi hate it mi no lazy and mi hav no fi go
Well when you know home mi com home mi stay and you know home mi go
But remember its just me coz I told you so
With shan a shan bowl a bowl e a e o a o
