Wailing Souls ft. Alborosie - Shark Attack | Official Music Video

Stream The Album: https://WailingSouls.lnk.to/BackAYard

Taken from the Wailing Souls’ Back A Yard album, produced by Alborosie, “Shark Attack” updates the Souls’ 1992 hit reggae recording, originally a commentary on capitalist exploitation and the ‘new world order’ phrase buzzing at the time.

In the original video, the exploiter was a manipulative ‘shark’ with a sketchy briefcase full of loot. For the new recording, Alborosie crafted additional lyrics of street level exploitation in Jamaica, and animator Jenille Brown reimagined the shark as a record producer, extending the concept into the sphere of cultural appropriation.

“Shark Attack” feat. Alborosie, available July 31, 2020 on streaming platforms and Greensleeves 7-inch 45 r.p.m. vinyl single.

Back A Yard, VPGS7068, available August 28, 2020 on all streaming platforms, CD and vinyl LP.

STEP BACK!
Lyrics

Pipe and Bread:

Better stop this cultural diffusion
Spreading fear and confusion
Playing cloak and dagger wars
Losing what you fighting for

Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack
Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack

Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack
Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack

Alborosie:

Some people set it up like Pablo

Eat people food like avocados

Kill and collect just to buy El Dorado

Dem a bunch a desperados

Every corner, Jungle, Spain and Montego

Jon wick, kill quick, breeding mosquitos

Dem bad and boujee, rough and loopy

Star inna the killings like Hollywood movie

Pipe and Bread:

Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack
Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack

Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack
Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack

Alborosie:

And so when Babylon a come for your supper

Not even paper can run paper cutter

Criminals crawling the city

Popping up dirty bloody leeches

Pipe and Bread (response by Alborosie):

And it's a new world order (that’s for sure)

A wicked world order (more and more)

A crucial world order (woi oooh)
A cruel world order

And it's a new world order, oh yeah

A wicked world order, oh yeah

A crucial world order, oh yeah
A cruel world order, oh yeah

Pipe and Bread:

Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack
Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack

Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack
Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack

Better stop this cultural diffusion
Spreading fear and confusion
Playing cloak and dagger wars
Losing what you fighting for

Back back
Step back
Back back
Step back

Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack
Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack
