Take Away The Colour

(album: Ice'n'Green - 1994)

(Don't be chickened down by the colour
Let it flow now but
Don't be chickened down by the colour
Chickened down by the colour)

(Chickened down by the colour
Chickened down by the colour)

As I'm gonna sing
I take dem all call me
Checks a muh up dreadlocks
And dem all call me Bob Marley

Dis a di boomshakalak fi mek
You neck pop and ben up back
Ina different style scene
A Ice MC come back to me
De 'pon a mission watch ya no

One, and a two, and a three, and a four
It is I, man, I come and I knock on your door
You'd better let me in 'cause I full a fashion and
I come with a little rhythm fi make you dance on

Ina the club and ina the party
Everybody dance, they're feeling harty
Whiggle your body and wave your hands and
Jump around ina style and pattana

Whether you're black and whether you're white
When you're ina the party you fi feel all right
Bassline pumping, gyal them jumping
Everybody in the party looking for something

Some of them a look this, some of them a look that
Some a look gyal and even some of them a look man
Level vibration they're ina the dance, so
Come crowd and people, just jump and prance

Take away the colour, erase away the pain
Let's all live together, we're all the same
Open up you hearts and open up your minds
Free to be as one, just about that time

I to the C to the E to the M to the C
I see come crowd and people follow me
With the rhythm and the way that we whiggle and me wine
With the words make you dance and move you behind

So wipe you farrid if you'ead a sweat an
Drink a beer and find the action
In the vicinity you have the ability
Dash away the coke and dash away the ecstasy

Take away the colour, erase away the pain
Let's all live together, we're all the same
Open up your heart and open up your minds
Free to be as one just about that time
