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
