Watch Out For This (Bumaye) (feat. Busy Signal, The Flexican & FS Green)

Major Lazer Major Lazer

The Energetic Anthem of Dancehall Dominance

Major Lazer's "Watch Out For This (Bumaye)" featuring Busy Signal, The Flexican & FS Green, is a high-energy dancehall track that captures the vibrancy and intensity of a club scene. The song's title, 'Bumaye,' which means 'kill him' in Lingala, was famously chanted by Congolese fans during Muhammad Ali's historic boxing match in Zaire, known as the 'Rumble in the Jungle.' However, in the context of the song, 'Bumaye' is repurposed to signify the track's ability to dominate and energize the dance floor, rather than a literal call to violence.

The lyrics celebrate the power of music and dance, with the artist proclaiming the song's lyrics as the 'maddest' or best, capable of hyping up the crowd and making everyone dance. The repeated directive to 'push you hand up fi dis' invites listeners to participate and lose themselves in the rhythm. The song also boasts of the artist's prowess, both in terms of musical talent and appeal to the ladies, with references to dancehall culture and the artist's Jamaican roots ('you no fi fuck with the yardies').

Overall, the song is a tribute to the infectious nature of dancehall music, the skill of the artist, and the communal experience of music bringing people together in celebration. It's a track designed to make you move, feel the beat, and experience the joy of the moment, all while acknowledging the artist's place at the top of the musical hierarchy.
