Dip Lyrics

Brute force and ignorance
The bitterest truth is better
Than the sweetest lies
Too early or too late
Learn to keep learning
And learning chale(?)
Wish I coulda seen ya
But the money wasn't there
Papaye
Baby Alloy
All grown up
Baby Alloy
Cheeky chancer
Baby Alloy
Aeyah

You dip your fingers in the water
You wonder what's your punishment
You've gotten all your things in order
But what is your significance
Rustle up the advocates for some good old retribution
Duty calls you did your job under no illusions
Mmm mmm mmm mmmm

Seems say I don drawn you go find me oga
You go jump in the van or you go run na your own choice
We still they around
Puff puff cigar like tomorrow no dey come
Take your mama's love or light couple bombs
Set off or prepare when the retribution comes
Stab your brother
Patience is the fear
Love each other
Render insincere
Render insincere

You dip your fingers in the water
You wonder what's your punishment
Mmm mmm mmm mmmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmmm

To a plain Jane
I'm playing sane
Holding back the madness new trend
I'm tica-tica-tying up my loose ends
And I hope he's worth more when he's lifeless
A hit of a dark shade of hazel
At last at last my appraisal
Put the body and the mind on the table
With your favourite song playing on the radio

You dip your fingers in the water
You wonder what's your punishment
You've gotten all your things in order
But what is your significance
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmm

Formed in Scotland in 2008 by Alloysious Massaquoi, Kayus Bankole and Graham 'G' Hastings, the group started performing in nightclubs when the band members were all still in their early teens. In 2012, they signed to LA based label, Anticon and released their introductory mixtapes, Tape One and Tape Two. The trio then signed to Big Dada and released debut album, Dead, which was released in 2014. The album gained a lot of critical attention and went on to win the prestigious Mercury Prize. Following an extensive world tour the band decamped to Berlin to begin work on their sophomore album, White Men Are Black Men Too, which was released in April 2015.

In 2016, the band were invited to support Massive Attack on their UK and European tour after working together on Massive Attack’s single “Voodoo In My Blood”, which was released in January 2016.

Young Fathers feature 6 tracks on the Trainspotting T2 soundtrack, including “Only God Knows”, written specifically for the film.

In November 2017 the band announced that they had finished work on their third album to be release on Ninja Tune in early 2018. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
