Story Behind the Song
The quarries is a cool place to blow off school and go swimming. There are 40 foot cliffs to jump from. If you can find this place be careful. People have drowned because of carelessness and accidents. You have to watch out for the cops too.
The rap part is not about the quarries. It was included because the rhythm is good to freestyle over. One day Wicka began rapping over Bizy B's last name- Browne. BB returned the favor by rapping over Wicka's last name. A full-out freestyle contest was soon underway.
Lyrics
I want to go down to the quarries,
I want to live by the sea.
I want to go down to the quarries.
I want to feel myself, free-falling down to the water below, when I jump from a cliff above.
And I want to feel myself fly through the air
Down to the water, into the water, under the water below the air.
So take me there.
I want to launch off the ledge (of the running jump).
I want to dive off the high side.
I want to climb up the face (of the mother mountain).
I want to swim to home base.
I want to bathe in the sun (of the quarry water)
I want to heal all of my wounds.
I want to run from the cops (when they come for me)
Run down to the blue quarry.
So take me there.
Rap part
B is for Browne- thats who I am
R is for rap- the badest in the land
O is to own- a brand new car, you know my name will be in lights, Ill be a big star
W is for win- Ill rule the whole town
N is for no- youll never bring me down
E at the end of my name is for fame, dont stand too close or get burned by my flame
Thats Browne, Browne
W is for Wicka- wizard of the mind
I am the leader of all the humankind
C is for crafty- Im the maker of the wish I got the lake to myself and Im the biggest fish
K is for killer and I aint no liar, don t stand to close or get burned by my fire
A- hey A don t give me no lip, I am the king of the alphabet
Thats Wicka, Wicka
