Title: Robber Rave

Written by Mark 'Ataklan' Jimenez 

Produced, Mixed and Mastered by LAZAbeam

Recorded at Red Star Studios, Arima

    On the heels of the releasing 'Renegade Soca', Ataklan and LAZAbeam (1/2 of Jus Now) have teamed up once again to produce 'Robber Rave': a smash up of lyrical dexterity and Soca with EDM! Delivered in the larger-than-life and thrilling Oratory style of the fabled '

Midnight Robber' of Trinidadian Folklore, this track is the perfect blend of lyrics and frenetic Rave inducing intensity, making it both terrifying and thrilling. It is well poised to bring something brand new to Jouvert and the road for 2K15.

"Dusk till Dawn, Word is Bond.. Father, Mother, Daughter, Son, Ah go Torture yuh World on Jouvert Morn!"

Intro#

 Hear de whistle blast

When the robber pass

From a tribe of hooligan

Bussing big Lyrical unruly gun

Midnight robber passing

Midnight robber passing

Midnight robber passing

Verse#1

 Drop yuh keys

bow yuh knees

Welcome to Trinidad

West Indies

Midnight robber

Splicing breeze

Blazing trails

smoking trees

Muhammad and de mountain

See bloodshed

When I rise up

Hot Black & red

vocabulary in my head

Conjuring sporadic lead

When I pass

the clouds does run

I shoot down de sun

Just for fun

De moon does wish

I was never born

Calmness done

Silence gone

-Speakers on

word is born

Level corn

dusk to dawn

Father mother

Daughter son

I torture yuh World

on Jouvert morn

   verse#2

Bun dem down

for Mike brown

Erase white Christ

from Your crown

Jah run things

 in My song

What goes round

Must come round

Ruff and tuff

Pound for pound

Rocking strong

Old and young

-Boss hard rhymes

In hard times

bass lines loud

 as airlines

With bright signs

Deep coal minds

Black diamonds

Always shine

Me strong spine

And turbine

No soldier

left behind

-Speakers on word is born

level corn dusk to dawn

Father mother Daughter son

Ah torture yuh World

on Jouvert morn

Hands up

And take a jam again

De world it gone insane

I come to ease yuh pain

And take a jam again
