This was an entry to the Pepsi “Winnin' Riddim” competition in March 2016. It was originally a producer competition and I submitted the beat. However, later on they wanted to voice their own artistes on the beats for the finale but I asked to go on my own beat. This is the result
[Intro]
A Iotosh, Indian Riddim
Yo!
[Hook]
From you hear this you know a di winner and
Everybody fi start holla like an Indian
Da Riddim a jus di baddest, a di winning one
Mek everybody start fi holla like an Indian
Move you feet and dance to Riddim and
Everyone, just start fi holla like an Indian
Some people think dem sound big, well dis a di bigger one
Yo, if you think di beat bad, watch di starting, yo--
[Verse 1]
Di starting lyrically assaulting, mi rivals departing
Blow weh di competition like tarpaulin
Bass from the speaker mash up the party
Weh mek the people jump a like Bunji Garlin
Mi enemies bawling, mi name dem be calling
Calling out fi mercy so mi jus corn dem
To how dem stink, all johncrow start scorn dem
Mess wid di crew, well you know you nuh smart den
Guh learn from Hawking
Dem nuh badda dan Brado Don, who nuh inna bag a long talking
Sliq a di baddest and Kyraxx a tek dem gyal from afternoon guh straight till a morning
This a embarrass dem, leff people gawking, and grinning and smiling and leff dem all laughing
Mi mash up artiste career very often, wait
"Iotosh jus kill dem by talking?"
Yo!
[Hook]
From you hear this ya one, you know a di winner and
Everybody fi start holla like an Indian
Da riddim ya a jus di baddest, a di winning one
Mek everybody start fi holla like an Indian
Move you feet and dance just to the Riddim and
Everyone, just start fi holla like an Indian
Mi still humble, but you know dis a di winner man
[Verse 2]
Nyam dem food, mouth too full fi talking
Just like the starting, mi think dis easy like walking
1-2-3, A-B-C
Man a soldier inna Jah army
Man a trod straight to the top, iotosh
Neva gonna stop and the enemies cannot harm me
Lyrics dem sharp, cut dem up like salami
Those who survive run gone to dem mommy
And dem say dem a guh try obeah me
But dem nuh know seh Selassie-I guard me
Nuh shake and no bawling, beat dem like Shaolin
Dem flow jus a trickle, mine a rush like tsunami
Hold a Double 6, nuh fi you and you pardy
None a dem cyah step inna mi ring, a nuh Sonic or Audi
Defeat them wholly, not partly
Now a my time, cyah afford fi tardy
But dem man ya eye red like the sea, so when them see the I
Dem haffi tek flight fi avoid di parting
[Outro]
And a cause dem know dis ya a di winna and
Iotosh, di riddim name is just the Indian
Yo, a true dem neva know di winna and
Iotosh, a mi produce this; a di Indian
Yo
