Lyrics:

Bass Culture
-Linton Kwesi Johnson

muzik Of Blood
black Reared
pain Rooted
heart Geared;

all Tensed Up
in The Bubble And The Bounce
an The Leap An The Weight-Drop.

it Is The Beat Of The Heart,
this Pulsing Of Blood
that Is A Bublin Bass,
a Bad Bad Beat
pushin Gainst The Wall
whey Bar Black Blood

an Is A Whole Heappa
passion A Gather
like A Frightful Form
like A Righteous Harm
giving Off Wild Like Is Madness
