So you've got to live up to your name Or else I'll put you to shame

Listen!

If you say you a selector You a fe have good selection And I say if you say you a de special Man I say I want to know your potential

You a say you a madness You a say you a de best But when I put you 'pon you feet A-some a-some a say you can't play de beat

And I hear you say a Clash a you ruler Say a Clash sound cooler Say a Clash sound sweeter And now-a-days man a measure mile in a metre

Live up to your name Or else you die in shame And a so me say fe live up to your name A so me tell you say you die in shame

Some a dem a bodysnatcher Some a dem a barracuda But who a know fe me Jah Jah Fe me Jah a me creator

Flying saucers, rock-and-roll Natty Dread a fe be in control It's all in the whirlwind I say you've gone with the blockhead

And I say me say dat some a dem a Sex Pistol Nipple erectors A so me tell you set dem still up on a corner An a who on a farm And I'll tell you 'bout the X-generation Me know dem a victimed 'Cause dem no know fe me sweet Jah Jah

Clash a you ruler Say a Clash sound cooler And I tell you say a Clash sound sweeter And now-a-days man measure mile in a metre A none a dem deh measure gallon in a litre And I tell you say me know dem a cheat ya

'Cause when you living inna fame You got to live up to your name Or else a suffer and you die inna shame And I tell you say it's all in the game

Some a say dem a selector Dem a fe have good selection Or else deh moving in the wrong direction And deh no know dis a reggae vibration And a so me say a Clash a you ruler And dis ya one a say it a musically cooler

Me say fe live up to your name Or else you suffer and you die inna shame 'Cause when you living inna fame A so me tell you say it's all in the game

And so me talkin' about Specials and Madness beats, Big body snatcher, selector

Flying saucers, rock'n'roll See you gone in the whirlwind And I tell you say, a you a de blockhead And some will tell you dat you dreader than dread

And a-some a say a Clash a you ruler See a Clash sound cooler Clash sound sweeter Man a measure mile in a metre

When you living inna fame You got to live up to your name Or else you suffer and you die inna shame It's all in the game

This is the game of life We no want no strife Game of life We no want no strife, no no

Mikey with hair!?

Leo's sad because he doesn't have hair... Poor Leo

[cupcakeslushie]

now that the leo arc is finished, when are you planning on updating EW's ao3? :0

Finally had enough time to do it!

Here’s Leo’s Arc!

[turtleblogatlast]

I like to think alternate Leo was about 17 when he got ricocheted into the universe. I also like to think he turned 18 at some point as he was still away, becoming an adult and meeting that milestone in his life all alone.
