[Intro]
Yow, sun dip low, but we nah done
Bassline call, everybody come
[Verse 1]
From Kingston side where the warm breeze lean
Fresh white tee and the shoes stay clean
Auntie shout, “Mek sure yuh reach back soon”
But the whole crew move when the riddim start boom
One step left, then we slide through the place
Big grin bright pon every face
No badmind here, just a hand in the air
If yuh came with a worry, leave it right there
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold that feeling, let it rise
Catch the rhythm, close yuh eyes
Round and round, the whole place sway
We bring the dawn a little way
[Chorus]
BOMBOCLAAT, gwaan, turn it up tonight
From the island breeze to the farthest light
BOMBOCLAAT, let the whole ground shake
One heart, one sound, till the morning wake
[Verse 2]
Mi seh, “Big up the people dem, front to back”
Every footstep lock inna one tight track
Cool like sea when the daylight fade
Hot like pepper in the food we made
Wheel it again when the hook come round
Hands up high when the bass touch down
No long talk, let the good vibes spread
Sing it with your chest till the sky turn red
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold that feeling, let it rise
Catch the rhythm, close yuh eyes
Round and round, the whole place sway
We bring the dawn a little way
[Chorus]
BOMBOCLAAT, gwaan, turn it up tonight
From the island breeze to the farthest light
BOMBOCLAAT, let the whole ground shake
One heart, one sound, till the morning wake
[Drop]
Gwaan, gwaan, feel the pressure climb
Round and round in a spiral line
BOMBOCLAAT — lift it, lift it higher
BOMBOCLAAT — set the whole place afire
[Bridge]
Easy now, let the moment breathe
Then bring that wave back under we
One more rise, one more turn
Feel that fire, let it burn
[Final Chorus]
BOMBOCLAAT, gwaan, turn it up tonight
From the island breeze to the farthest light
BOMBOCLAAT, let the whole ground shake
One heart, one sound, till the morning wake
[Outro]
Big up the crew, big up the night
Island sound take flight
