Verse (Blvk h3ro & Wayne J)
Made in jah image
Selassie design that, tru
Tell them the formula ye man me find that

The beat a try fight back

An now the riddim lie flay
Dah one ya burn dem like a apple cider

All when me eye lock
It hard fi decipher the cypher weh i drop

A we a lock the place
While some boy a lock the gate

Verse 2 ( Blvk h3ro & Wayne J)
Say we study all the greats
An learn fi write some proper songs
Now me flow like papa san
An grab the mike like super cat
And shell the place like rototom
Now them wonder what agwan
Because ever single single we drop
Is an atomic bomb
Anuh water house
Yea this a the fire house rock
Big dance a keep
People all a watch from house top
Tell zozo wit won't it
Regge build the walls
An dancehall make the house rock
An if you dont know king jammys
Then you get a big whammy
If you dont know big sound
Then you get a big stone
Coxone and duke reid
Down orange street
A uroy and big youth do it unique
Chorus
We original nineteen how long
A we a lock the place
While some boy a lock the gate
Original nineteen how long
While we a run the globe
Some man a run them shoes
Original, original
We a dweet from nineteen how long
Originate, originate
Know say rasta rude boi could never be a bait
Original, original
We a dweet from 19howlong
Originate yea yea
