	Returning to the boards after a strong label showing in fall 2013, boss man Liondub is back for the first time on the label since 2009 featuring NYC’s Jahdan Blakkamore and Trinidadian fire starter Metric Man. Fans of the label will surely remember the 2009 smash ‘The General’, another collaboration between Jahdan and LionDub and truly a massive tune that ignited dancefloors and radio sets worldwide. The pair returns here with more fire, but they have both been busy since, with Jahdan earning writing credits and a Grammy nomination on the Snoop Lion album and LionDub busy with his infamous Wednesday night Koollondon radio show and touring spreading the word both on the streets of NYC and around the world. ‘Money Me Say’ features Jahdan on the chorus with the lively chat of the pair on the verses and a heavy dread skank as they graphically describe the struggle and the everyday hustle to stay alive. Returning to round out the package are Liondub International veterans Noah D and Marcus Visionary.  Both blessed remixes of the General in 2009 and return, hitting hard once again. Noah D flips the track in an even heavier version, referencing Bristol’s purple sound in his keyboard production; portions of the vocals are kept in place, but more as samples than the fluid narrative of the original, with the dramatic production contours maintaining tension and modern day trap influences resonating throughout. Even more transformative is Marcus Visionary’s slow jungle remix, which strips most of the original away and deploys only the chorus and short vocal snippets over an entirely new backing track in Visionary’s signature style with heavy sub bass and classic breakbeat pressure. This is the first of a series of releases from Liondub featuring Jahdan and Metric man, and if this is any indication, this is a project well worth watching closely.

LNDB018 - LIONDUB FT. JAHDAN & METRIC MAN - MONEY ME SAY [OUT NOW]

CHORUS
=======
Let's talk about Good Cops! (Where they at?)
The triumph of evil is just a failure to act by all these 
Good Cops! ( Where they at?)
If you're dirty and you need someone to cover your back you need a 
Good Cop! (Where they at?)
You'll never see em snitch on someone wearing a badge cuz they're the
Good Cops! (Listen Up!)
If you're not locking up the bad cops, you ain't good enough

VERSE 1
========================
Yeah
Where all them good cops at?
People keep telling me bad apples make good cops look bad
But if 99% of cops are as good as they say
They should be able to lock a couple bad apples away
And yet they don't. 
Not because they can't but because they won't
Cuz their highest duty is protecting and serving their own
The first rule of policing means when in doubt they'll shoot
And if they make a mistake other cops will hide the truth

Even if they want to report a cop, they know that they can't.
You're as good as DEAD on the force if you get labeled a rat.
Plus the union rep will protect them from ever losing their job 
And you wonder why there's criminals enforcing the law?
just ask a...

CHORUS

VERSE 2 
========================
Police are trained to lie to make an arrest
But they're not required to help you when you make a request
They have no affirmative duty to either server or protect
And they're immune from prosecution if they choose to neglect.

Look at the precedent set by Taliaferro, Douglas and Warren.
No one protected Jessica Gonzales's daughters
And when she went to court to hold someone accountable for it
SCOTUS told us that it was legal for the cops to ignore her

That's cuz a cop is an enforcer and his job's to collect
Stealing money, kicking asses and cashing forfeiture checks
Writing ridiculous tickets and waging war on drugs
Our city budgets are funded by waging war on us. 

Thanks to the...

CHORUS

VERSE 3
========================
Sometimes a cop'll say, "its not my fault
I'm just doing my job, I'm not the guy who writes the laws
I was following orders, honoring the oath I swore."
And I'm like Nurnberg. War Trial. Principle Four.

And some people seem to believe that if they don't do crime
That the cops will leave them alone and that they'll just be fine
"Go ahead and tread on the Constitution, we don't mind"
I can't believe that these people can even be so blind.

See what they don't understand, is that the problem at hand
Is systemic, it goes beyond a single woman or man
When good people let evil people keep on laying the plans
The banality of evil lies in obeying commands.

Just ask a...

CHORUS
