lyrics

Machete Chop
Reap Them Crop

Cut them down, down to the ground
Bob said they're just a dry wood for Jah fire, yeah
Cut them down, down to the ground with their sound
Where their corruption lies rotted

Machete Chop
Reap Them Crop

Plant the seed, pull the weed
Separating the goat from the sheep
Tall them trees, 'til the eyes a bleed in a jungle fatigue
Secluding the chaff from the wheat
Oh the treasure upon the threshing room floor

Heavy, Heavy
Machete Chop
Reap Them Crop

Stop them down at the hunting grounds
Ravenous wolves fashioned in wooly clothing
Shut them down at the butcher shop
Devastate them preying on innocents oh yeah
Oh the horror 'pon the Slaughterhouse floor

Heavy, Heavy
Machete Chop
Reap Them Crop

Smoke up the air, saying my prayers
This meditation cannot be interrupted
Unceasing in prayer
Unto the stars I stare and I Swear
This dedication will not be disrupted

Machete Chop
Reap Them Crop

Solid Gold
by Squad Five-O

supported by 10 fans who also own “Machete Chop”

Welp, didn't see this one coming: seven new tracks from the late '90s ska-punks-turned-glam-rockers. Solid Gold sounds like a photo album of Squad's best moments – namely, when the wheels were about to come off a freewheeling anthem, but were miraculously held together by duct tape and gang vocals. https://www.vikingschoice.org/archive/mexican-psych-ragged-rock-boom-bap-soul/ Lars Gotrich
