Singing woah now, we a go wake up the nation 
Radio retaliation, it's such a different corporation 
We taking over your station and we a go change the vibration 
 
People fi get up and pump them fist when sleepy talk 
Hear mi transmission whether you drive or whether you walk 
Put up me antenna inna the middle of the park 
And transmit mi signal inna the light and inna the dark 
 
Radio retaliate, and never ever get caught 
And change the stereotype of people's wash over thoughts 
Fifty thousand watts of Thievery hit them like poison darts 
And watch the whole system what them build up fall apart 
 
Singing woah now retaliation 
Singing woah now, we a go wake up the nation 
Radio retaliation, it's such a different corporation 
We taking over your station and we a go change the vibration 
 
Mi have the basic qualification, just fi get people straight 
And juggle the microphone from eight o'clock back to eight 
People give me the [bad word] from the musical senate 
Fi juggle the roundest sound, the mellowest sound 
The sound with the most weight 
 
Them stand up out of the corner, inna the driveway, outta mi gate 
To hear the chief rocker them a fling dubplate 
All who want fi challenge Thievery, then it's your time fi wait 
And re-emerge from the scene, and wipe away all the hate 
 
Radio retaliation, it's such a different corporation 
We taking over your station and we a go change the vibration 
 
Chief rocker Thievery Corp them pon the attack 
With melody and sophistication make you bound have to rock 
Sleepy wonder deh pon the mic, the ragga muffin speed rap 
And if your vibes is inna the gutter, I will lift it up to the top 
 
Eric and Rob them produce the beat, and invite Sleepy down fi chat  [bad word] of the crew, destroy your whole habitat 
The main objection of the track is to tear the whole place flat 
And have the people inna the lounge 
Them want to get up, and they are singing 
 
Woah now retaliation 
Singing woah now, we a go wake up the nation 
Radio retaliation, it's such a different corporation 
We taking over your station and we a go change the vibration
