Haffi Fall Down

Orange Grove

Best friends Michael Maidwell and Jacob Streefkerk founded Orange Grove shortly after leaving St. Maarten, the little Caribbean island paradise they called home, to attend college in the Netherlands. Like many teenagers, they had grown tired of studying by the time they graduated from high school, and being in a band seemed much cooler than anything else they could ever imagine doing. Jacob played guitar and Michael discovered he had a talent for rapping. Soon after arriving in the Netherlands they began writing songs and recording demos on their four track mini disc recorder. College was becoming more and more boring by the day so they had to move quickly. Before they knew it they had enough songs for a demo cd and began playing small bars and clubs in the country with their brand new band which they called Orange Grove, named after an area back on their island homes. 
 Fast-forward quite some years to today: OG is on the verge of releasing their third studio album. With wickedly talented members and producers Tim Kesteloo and Robert Biesewig, who both joined the group in 2011, playing huge roles in the writing and producing of Ganja Rock, together with collaborations and guest features by legends like King Yellowman, Walshy Fire (Major Lazer) and Brainpower, the band feels confident they have created something special for all their fans who have been following them throughout the years, as well as a great introduction for all who have yet to stumble upon their music.

Di man on top there, him haffi
Fall down
For how him got there,

ADVERTISING


Him haffi fall down
Him nah wan
Stop there, him want it all
Now
But sooner or later even
Bodyguards'll let their guards down

No need to worry man u always get by
It's just your people on the streets who'll have to suffer
Ya never go hungry and ya sleep well every night
It's just your people on di streets who got no supper

And there's one reserved for your head
One to bore through your brain til
It dead, so you don't wake up tomorrow
To cause more pain and suffering to spread
Di last gift you'll get's made of lead, and it a fly out a barrel

Di man on top there, him haffi
Fall down
For how him got there,
Him haffi fall down
Him nah wan
Stop there, him want it all
Now
But sooner or later even
Bodyguards
They'll run away, they'll run away, they'll run away, they'll run away

You're only in it for your best interest
Pretending that ya care but really ya couldn't care less
Ya spreadin sufferation from behind a desk
And if one thing is for sure these people can't go take no more!

And there's one reserved for your head
One to bore through your brain til
It dead, so you don't wake up tomorrow
To cause more pain and suffering to spread
Di last gift you'll get's made of lead, and it a fly out a barrel

Di man on top there, him haffi
Fall down
For how him got there,
Him haffi fall down
Him nah wan
Stop there, him want it all
Now
But sooner or later even
Bodyguards
They'll run away, they'll run away, they'll run away, they'll run away

Embrace the taste you're in the place to be
They're gonna turn it to waste you just wait and see
The same things you take oh so sacredly
To them are worth just as much as dust
You can't tell me that bombing is the right solution
That's like trying to save our ozone by causing more polution
Like using gasoline to try and out a fire
Like trying to fix a flat by flattening another tire
It sounds silly i know but you look silly to me
Like a buncha little kids acting ridiculously
Do something bout your 40 million illiterate and i mean that
Literally you got more problems in
Little italy sadam was just little league

Blaze it up blaze it come leff we blaze it up blaze it up
We nah goin run from di man we goin raise it up!

Di man on top there, him haffi

Di man on top there, him haffi

Bodyguards
They'll run away, they'll run away, they'll run away,

CAUSE WE'RE ON OUR WAY
