male vocals
Blistering 160 BPM Trinidad soca riddim
bright brass stabs and chipping-ready drum groove. Male vocals sit upfront
aggressive and playful
with wide stereo call-and-response background vocals drenched in echo on key phrases. Verses are percussive and chant-like; chorus explodes with layered shouts and crowd-style harmonies. Energy climbs nonstop toward a final breakdown and jump-up release
perfect for Carnival road vibes.

Lyrics
[Intro]
Raise yuh flag
Wave it mad
Jump and spread out
Trini in yuh blood (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Sun hot
Backline mash up the road
Cooler in the hand
Vibes overload
Body start to move
Like it have it own mind
From Charlotte Street
Straight down to the coastline
[Chorus]
Raise yuh flag
Let it fly
Let it fly (oh gosh)
If yuh come to mash up
Doh ask me why
All hands up
All band up in the sky
When I say jump
Everybody try
Raise yuh flag
Let it wave
Let it wave
If yuh feel that freedom
This is how we brave
All hands up
All band up in the sky
When I say go
Everybody ride
[Verse 2]
Truck pass
Bass shake up yuh chest
Stranger turn family
Wine and forget stress
Powder in the air
Color on yuh face
Right now is we time
Lock down the whole place
[Bridge]
Who ready? (me!)
Who ready? (me!)
When I say “move”
All ah we go flee
Left side
Right side
Whole road
One tribe
[Chorus]
Raise yuh flag
Let it fly
Let it fly (raise it)
If yuh come to mash up
Doh ask me why
All hands up
All band up in the sky
When I say jump
Everybody try
Raise yuh flag
Let it wave
Let it wave (wave it)
If yuh feel that freedom
This is how we brave
All hands up
All band up in the sky
When I say go
Everybody ride
Raise yuh flag
Wave it mad
Jump and spread out
Trini in yuh blood (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Sun hot
Backline mash up the road
Cooler in the hand
Vibes overload
Body start to move
Like it have it own mind
From Charlotte Street
Straight down to the coastline
[Chorus]
Raise yuh flag
Let it fly
Let it fly (oh gosh)
If yuh come to mash up
Doh ask me why
All hands up
All band up in the sky
When I say jump
Everybody try
Raise yuh flag
Let it wave
Let it wave
If yuh feel that freedom
This is how we brave
All hands up
All band up in the sky
When I say go
Everybody ride
