Smolkenerbs420 they don't speak truth bless always truth win sane with Tupac and biggie , Tupac king and same as roots manuva king of the old-school uk scene for truth
Ocean Wisdom is driving things forward these days. Love this album tho... remember spinning it when it came out, still check it on the regular. Legend.
"Here's a little ditty"...*drops this massive tune* Sounds just as good as when it first came out. Great lyrics, one-of-a-kind flow, instrumentation, mellow groove...everything
I bring you tents and girth to this homegrown range Bona fide what you hear, tis the sound of pain But pain leads to gain so we dare not stagnate We elevate to that next state, motion divine Glisten like crystal ball and stand tall With this knowledge and overstanding Enterprise landing, bringing dem new brands of buff Yes, we come proper with potency Ain't no blood in my body, it's liquid soul in my vein I dance on a thin line of sane and deranged And it's all criss once I get neatly in the cipher Chat like pickney to the piper that pied As this natural mystic blows through the air These lessons of life become crystal clear Precision of my vision is ital Separating sharks from the blessed is vital Now I can smell a rat coming from a mile round the corner One time I bored ya, twice you can't couf No, we won't stop rebuke thee You satanics, you fools can't recruit me Not now while there's Movements fi make, typhoons grew Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through Movements fi make, typhoons grew Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right I'll slap the bacon out your mouth, dance upon your sarnie Rolling with Jah bredren dem, God-blessed army How the hell you gon stop this tide from steady coming Run and catch in tune with the elements At speed we proceed, traction for action Hot 125, government goons get dashed to the side Too big to slide now, though they try to disguise I can still recognize devilworks when I see it Weakheart disciples keep weakheart friends Always had a hate for what their weakhearts defend They fiend for that crack, ain't no one to tax We might run home and smoke a brown bag of seed Best believe that these times is treacherous And I know not how else I'm supposed to act But stand close to culture roots-fi See me getting deft with that two-step shuffle Haggling others who for the cause Reigning with that roots type terror Freaking at your weakhearty era but We build, move and prove that we don't suffer fools Movements fi make, typhoons grew Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through Movements fi make, typhoons grew Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right Movements fi make, typhoons grew Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through Movements fi make, typhoons grew Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right
this is one of my fave tunes by roots, the lyrics, beat and delivery are just sick. many dayz when times were stressful i wud put this and smoke a zoot and just get lost in the tune. Props to roots manuva one of our best.
you dont get it bro, give up. you waste your time dissing some harmless girl, bcos she likes myliy C, so you think you're better. and this album is nothing to do with the uk. you too basic for this deep shit, basic fuck, haha. Baaaaaaaaaasiccccccccc
saw this man bust his cypher at the Hi-Fi bar, in west end Brissie a few years back...was well attended and a nice rich atmosphere of smiles for miles...but it all started for me with his first solo album "Brand New Second Hand"...im gona go get this on vinyl, his earlier colabotions with Wayne Lotek Bennet, called "Lotek Hi-Fi" is also a great one to have on vinyl...
Hey, this is the live version, which comes from Ninja Tunes Xen Cuts. It's better than the studio track on Brand New Second Hand. It is an incredible track, I mean these lyrics are better than Shakespeare, Eliot, Blake, or any damned poet in English you could name. Rodney Smith is a genius.
Pamiętam jakby to było wczoraj: o kurwa! Jakie to dobre. To były czasy, wtedy sporo nowych rzeczy wychodziło. Teraz to już nic nie robi takiego wrażenia.
One of my favourite tracks Roots manuva knows how to bring it fresh on tracks. Mr Grimez The Anti Hero "Legend Of The Underdog EP" Aug 19th 2009 includes Facebook Killer.
I dedicate this song to Madam Surgeon General of California with all of the love and believing in the greater good all the way down to the macro.....2020
Well i;m glad you hold his music in high regard. he does great for his own career ... But there are lots of other duties that we can attend to. Are you gonna nice up the function?
To the poster of the video. This isnt the version off the album, its a live xen session. Just thought I'd share so others might not get confused. Cheers!

@@phillipmurphy9987 thanks 🙏 now I see this comment again I had forgotten about 😂
@@phillipmurphy9987hold tight pal, it’ll come good
Never heard another track that hit me the way this does. Takes me back, leads me forward, keeps me in the moment. Liquid soul.
Roots done many great songs
Roots Manuva is hands down the best hip hop artist to come from UK. lyrical madness & sik productions!!
Colonel Sanders GB... no uk... but u are fella.... the fella is pure class.
.. left .. right .. left right...
Hmmm Jehst is the best. Love Roots tho
Smolkenerbs420 they don't speak truth bless always truth win sane with Tupac and biggie , Tupac king and same as roots manuva king of the old-school uk scene for truth
yeah man, dont know the scene that well but Rodney is so good he transcends the genre
Ocean Wisdom is driving things forward these days. Love this album tho... remember spinning it when it came out, still check it on the regular. Legend.
Literally timeless. I found this album in highschool back in '08 and was blown away by the fact it was from 99. Still blows me away 14 years later.
Ain't no blood in my body, it's liquid soul in my vein.
Pure class..... yes we come proper
Dance of the tine line of sane and deranged
"Here's a little ditty"...*drops this massive tune* Sounds just as good as when it first came out. Great lyrics, one-of-a-kind flow, instrumentation, mellow groove...everything
This song is actually a live session from the xen cuts disc. Still one of his best IMO
@Shawn Taylor MINE TOO BRO
Roderick Manuva...all the way from the south west...with something to get off my chest
"I'll slap the bacon out your mouth, dance upon your sarnie" 😂 what a lyric
😁👊
haven't heard it in years...still the same effect ! So chiiiiiled
i love you.
how does it feel to be 99.9% objectified
I doubt YOU've been listening to Roots since the early days, init luv? Spesh not with Miley Cyrus on your watchlist. Nice troll though.
Roots Manuva is the man, sickest UK's mc fo me, this is classic dopeness! mad props from Poland! 5!
Pozdro byku:)
'Ain't no blood in my body, it's liquid soul in my vein'...pure class
this track is a hip-hop masterpiece!
I bring you tents and girth to this homegrown range
Bona fide what you hear, tis the sound of pain
But pain leads to gain so we dare not stagnate
We elevate to that next state, motion divine
Glisten like crystal ball and stand tall
With this knowledge and overstanding
Enterprise landing, bringing dem new brands of buff
Yes, we come proper with potency
Ain't no blood in my body, it's liquid soul in my vein
I dance on a thin line of sane and deranged
And it's all criss once I get neatly in the cipher
Chat like pickney to the piper that pied
As this natural mystic blows through the air
These lessons of life become crystal clear
Precision of my vision is ital
Separating sharks from the blessed is vital
Now I can smell a rat coming from a mile round the corner
One time I bored ya, twice you can't couf
No, we won't stop rebuke thee
You satanics, you fools can't recruit me
Not now while there's
Movements fi make, typhoons grew
Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through
Movements fi make, typhoons grew
Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right
I'll slap the bacon out your mouth, dance upon your sarnie
Rolling with Jah bredren dem, God-blessed army
How the hell you gon stop this tide from steady coming
Run and catch in tune with the elements
At speed we proceed, traction for action
Hot 125, government goons get dashed to the side
Too big to slide now, though they try to disguise
I can still recognize devilworks when I see it
Weakheart disciples keep weakheart friends
Always had a hate for what their weakhearts defend
They fiend for that crack, ain't no one to tax
We might run home and smoke a brown bag of seed
Best believe that these times is treacherous
And I know not how else I'm supposed to act
But stand close to culture roots-fi
See me getting deft with that two-step shuffle
Haggling others who for the cause
Reigning with that roots type terror
Freaking at your weakhearty era but
We build, move and prove that we don't suffer fools
Movements fi make, typhoons grew
Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through
Movements fi make, typhoons grew
Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right
Movements fi make, typhoons grew
Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through
Movements fi make, typhoons grew
Strong and cold-sheist them a still coast through
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right

The 1st song I heard by him and I was stuck like WTF!!! THIS CAT IS DOPE!!!
The Legend that is Rodrick Manuva 🔥
Landmark album. The feeling of living in the UK captured forever.

I was at that gig and got laid with some random that night! Good times!
The Man is a total Genius.
This whole album is as Fresh as Gooseberries
Its so true, we can all flutter about that line at certain points in our lives, in our world, in our minds....splendid
aged really well. timeless track for real
No doubt bro. I just came back to it today!
it really is, and it might sound cliché but this song really hits different when you get older
This is the best version of the track imo :)
very different from the original album, without scratches and dirty sound
Best underground Hip-Hop track ever made

Hey, this is the live version, which comes from Ninja Tunes Xen Cuts. It's better than the studio track on Brand New Second Hand. It is an incredible track, I mean these lyrics are better than Shakespeare, Eliot, Blake, or any damned poet in English you could name. Rodney Smith is a genius.
absolutely love the bass on pretty much any roots manuva track, addictive!
Superior lyrics and super nice flow make Smith my fav
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right - England's finest!

This is a live version of the song, you'll probably have to download it. I don't think it's on any albums. It might be the "BBC 1 Live" version.
