	<note><p>This is just another example of what Daniel and I can come up with on the spontaneous tip.</p>
<p>We were working on ‘The ‘Umu’ in the Dojo, listening to a few records when Daniel came across a few bits and pieces that sounded like they could be a seed for a boomin’ track. He started collecting bits from here and there (naaah, no specifics with that one) and the tune started to develop into a monster.</p>
<p>Naturally, I started writing to it - firstly, in my head, then jotting ideas onto paper. The chorus served as the inspiration to the lyrics. The boomin’ “C’mon and raise your hands hiiigh!” could have been the driving force behind a great party track, but meh… that was too obvious. So I started thinking about the police and their overly aggressive approach to such insignificant things (as you will hear the tune).</p>
<p>A day or two later, we recorded the vocals. Upon completion, we both thought, “wow, this is a top tune”, but we couldn’t see it working cohesively with the rest of the tracks we have already done for the album. So, here we are. Instead of letting it gather electronic dust in the hard drive (like many other tunes we have done), we’ve decided to unleash it to you guys – the appreciative music fan. So next time you’re about to instigate a riot or warming up in the footy sheds, throw this on and get hype!</p>
<p>Oh, 10 points to the person who can guess the inspiration behind the intro.</p>

Hold up!<br />
Hold up!<br />
Stop! Naaah, we’re full bore<br />
That’s a message for you all<br />
You can get it, get it – you can get it<br />
You can get it<br />
<br />
verse one:<br />
(Keep your ears to the street)<br />
You can hear ‘em, sirens blarin’<br />
A nightmare in a blue suit beware then<br />
Posted outside the jam, damn, shit is odd<br />
Don’t dare piss ‘em off, they got the sniffer dogs<br />
And with strong sense of smell act sensible<br />
Won’t hesitate to go straight where the sensi’s held<br />
Empty your pockets for that little bit of reefer<br />
Might even ask for a deposit in a pee cup<br />
They won’t care so don’t dare speak up<br />
Or they’ll dig for that extra twig in your sneaker<br />
Enough to freak out the innocent kids<br />
With six sniffer dogs at a benefit gig? C’mooon.. <br />
<br />
chorus <br />
<br />
verse two:<br />
Ahhh… neighbourhood shindig, ain’t nothing new<br />
Nothing major that the council must approve<br />
Family and friends, food and a couple of brews<br />
Music a little loud? This much is true<br />
But it’s for the kids, shiiit, trying to bust a move<br />
Then we see the damn pigs trying to muscle through<br />
Man, what’s up with you? Why so heavy handed?<br />
Acting like we’re reprimanded. Wait!<br />
What is the problem? Is it too late party?<br />
Sweet – only need to be told once. Pardon me.<br />
What? You want to shut it down? Man, I can’t believe<br />
What you’re asking me or rather forcing me. Your talk is cheap!<br />
<br />
chorus<br />
