lyrics

Calico:
Put ya hands up in di Aire, put ya hands up in di Aire.
Put ya hands up in di Aire, put ya hands up in di Aire.
Boah Boah, bounce it bounce it,
Boah Boah, Bounce it Bounce it
Raspire

Phat Boiee:
so I slide through with my hands up in the air
bust it, one time just to make my self clear,
attention even if you don't care
you better listen cause these words I have are rare
no care for the violence, cause all that bring is silence
and if you beef better take that else where
Raspire bring the flare, and now I gotta use it
I say I speak peace and now I'm about to prove it
its Phat Boiee on the track now, and brother if u aren't for peace just back down
I'm going in revolution on my back now, Raspire open the dog pound
big guy I never mumble
full back I never fumble
for peace I'm never humble
so bust it for the struggle
bust it for the struggle
deuces in the air crowd stomp it make a rumble
power to the funnel funnel to the struggle and we're about to break it up no huddle
power to the funnel funnel to the struggle and we're about to break it up no huddle

Calico:
Put ya hands up in di Aire, put ya hands up in di Aire.
Put ya hands up in di Aire, put ya hands up in di Aire.
Boah Boah, bounce it bounce it,
Boah Boah, Bounce it Bounce it
Raspire

E.Flowz:
Freeze…hands up inna di air
Buss it...violence disappear
Never fear E. Flowz hear,
I di peace teacher so you haffi stand clear
Pick up the pieces of your pieceless piece, you lost them
Instead of grabbin' a piece and squeezin then releasin'
Mi call it treason, if you claim peace, then you still ain't believin'
That the violence and the war, dem ceasin'
Me and these men, sharper than a crease dem
Likkle sound boy thinkin' him a bad man
Bad man badda than dem badda than who?
badda than dem, badda than the whole of dem.
Pound for pound, yeah we knocking violence down
Put ya hands up inna di air, an diggity don't put them down. (diggity don't put them down.)
Put your hands up inna di air, diggity don't put them down!

Calico:
Put ya hands up in di Aire, put ya hands up in di Aire.
Put ya hands up in di Aire, put ya hands up in di Aire.
Boah Boah, bounce it bounce it,
Boah Boah, Bounce it Bounce it
Raspire

Shawty & Shy Gurl:
Put your hands up, crowd is going wild
Put two fingers up and wave them side to side
Put your hands up, crowd is going wild
Put two fingers up and wave them side to side

Slick Nick:
Yeah, I'm feein' to go in, just me and my kin,
yeah they call me Slick Nick and I'm feelin' this beat.
And I spit like my mouth is full of loose teeth,
and it's me and Raspire and we reppin' the Peace.
So put ya Hands up in di Air so I can give you the flare (whooo) now let me catch my breath, yess.
We fresh to death and I swear to God this beat will make ya nod and I'm feelin' to go hard if not go stronger cause I'm tired of this drama.
Tired of the Drama.
