Rattrap We Can't Escape

What happens when you cross metal with reggae, well you get Skindred, that's what happens.

This is one of those bands, either you love it or you don't, and personally I love it. Sometimes different genres that you think would never work together just do, this is probably how it feels to those crazy people who like pineapple on pizza.

I have a two very special memories that comes to mind when I think of this song specifically. The first is that this would have been @princessmewmew and my first actual date, we had tickets to go watch them play in London, but our flight got super delayed and we missed the show. We ended up just going to a pub with some very old friends of mine and having some pints.

The other memory is, when ever my good friend George would come down and stay by me when we did our annual Hog's South African tour. We would always end up listening to this song and George would then call up the lead singer of the Rudimentals and bitching to him about why his band is not making good music like this. I know it's a silly memory but it's something I will always remember.

Hope you guys enjoy the song!

Lyrics - Rat Race

Too much of us caught inna rat trap we ah fe bust out ah dat
Too much of us caught inna rat race ah fe bust out ah dat

They're in a contest and a competition
Caught in the snare material suction
If what you've got is all you mention
Move an go way I tell you, move an go way I tell you
Pushing and pulling juggling it no stop
There's always free cheese inside a rattrap.
You better watch before the snap goes pop
Move an go way I tell you, move an go way I tell you

Don't even bother with the boasting
Just take care, coz this ya rat race ain't fair
Even the saints them are falling
So beware! You'll find no winners in there

You know its gunner get you whoa
And it will never let you go
You know who its gunner get you whoa
And it will never let you go

Rattrap we can't escape from it whoa!
And it will never let you go whoa whoa
Rattrap we can't escape from it whoa
It'll never it'll never, we inna we inna
Rattrap we can't escape from it whoa!
And it will never let you go whoa whoa
Rattrap we can't escape from it whoa
And it will never let you go, can't get out of there

Chatty people they will talk all day
Talk your business and they feel no way
Elaborate and make up the story
Move an go way I tell you, move an go way I tell you

Don't even bother with the boasting
Just take care, coz this ya rat race ain't fair
Even the saints them are falling
So beware! You'll find no winners in there

You know its gunner get you whoa
And it will never let you go
You know who its gunner get you whoa
And it will never let you go

Rattrap we can't escape from it whoa!
And it will never let you go whoa whoa
Rattrap we can't escape from it whoa
It'll never it'll never, we inna we inna
Rattrap we can't escape from it whoa!
And it will never let you go whoa whoa
Rattrap we can't escape from it whoa
And it will never let you go

It's a rat race; it's a rat race
Someone come and tell me wha de gworn with the human race?
Fury breaks the chain! Let us go.
