about

Zodom Area are happy to share the release of Shottaz new song titled “Sickness”. The song is produced, mixed and mastered by Toronto based Kiwi producer Grafta. Having worked together on several projects in the mid-2000s, the crew is super excited to be reunited with the talented producer over a decade later. The song has a dark hardcore dancehall backdrop, which perfectly marries with the concept of the song. Subtly pointing out general hate and other microaggressions that come as part of life, the Shottaz discuss how they regularly have to brush things off and keep moving.

lyrics

Yo Yo
Yo Yo
Yo Yo
Shottaz in the building
Feel good music
Hey

I think they got a sickness
Move around slickness
A lot of foolishness I witness
Don't care I just mind my own business
My words soft they lack stiffness
They mistake that for weakness
Yo
Mind the buttons you push because one of them
Ah go trigger my sickness

A bag of badmind trying to bring me down
If they could get the means they would take me out
them nah like my voice saying it's too loud
Me nah pay no mind stay loud and proud
They push me to fall but I stand my ground
Solid as a rock them can't cut me down
There on my grind until I reach my goals
If demand push me I might just blow

I think they got a sickness
Move around slickness
A lot of foolishness I witness
Don't care I just mind my own business
My words soft they lack stiffness
They mistake that for weakness
Yo
Mind the buttons you push because one of them
Ah go trigger my sickness

Dema pree from a distance
Me nah free dem back me nah respond
Got no time to waste with them wicked ways
Give them no energy put them in their place
Still I call them out when I spot them out
Call out to Jah hima sort them out
Focused pon the target we cannot miss
Coz we do this for the fam regardless
We got this

I think they got a sickness
Move around slickness
A lot of foolishness I witness
Don't care I just mind my own business
My words soft they lack stiffness
They mistake that for weakness
Yo
Mind the buttons you push because one of them
Ah go trigger my sickness

Hey Hey
Hey Hey

Shottaz in the building
Grafta deh pon di riddim
Yo
Mind the patterns you look coz one of them ah go trigger me sickness
