Shanty for a Squad
Original
[Verse 1]
There once was a squad that readied up
With outfits of fancy to say what's up
Their hopes were high for a win that day
Go, me squaddie boys, go
[Chorus]
See there, the storm she comes
To widdle us down and leave just one
Grab your squad quick on the run
Let's take our dub and go
[Verse 2]
The drop was hot and full of threat
It was lit up by a million sweats
The keg of slurp would pay no debt
The squaddy was spared that day (Huh!)
[Chorus]
See there, the storm she comes
To widdle us down and leave just one
Grab your squad quick on the run
Let's take our dub and go
[Verse 3]
The storm was closing in by now
The enemy full send now inbound
They find a way to clutch somehow
So go, me squaddie boys, go (Huh!)
[Chorus]
See there the storm she comes
To widdle us down and leave just one
Grab your squad quick on the run
Let's take our dub and go
Translate
[verse 1]
Once upon a time there was a squad that was preparing
In fancy outfits, tell me what's up
That day they had high hopes for victory
Go, my teammates, go.
[chorus]
You see there, the storm she came
To condense us and leave us alone
Grab your squad quickly on the run
Let's take our dub and go
[verse 2]
The reward was hot and full of menace
She was won by a million sweats
A barrel of frothy nectar won't pay your debts
That day the team was saved (Ha!)
[chorus]
You see there, the storm she came
To condense us and leave us alone
Grab your squad quickly on the run
Let's take our dub and go
[3 couplet]
The storm was already approaching.
The determined enemy is near
They found a way to get into a fight
So go ahead my team boys go (Ha!)
[chorus]
You see there is a storm, she came
To condense us and leave us alone
Grab your squad quickly on the run
Let's take our dub and go
Explanation of some expressions
Anthem Fortnite
It was lit up by a million sweats
Fortnite is a game of sweat for players who try to show off their skills in the game, even when it's not necessary. The term comes from the idea that these players are trying so hard to show themselves in the game that they sweat.
To widdle us down and leave just one
At the end of a Fortnite match, only one player, duo or squad wins. Victory in the Royal battle is the highest reward for Fortnite players
The storm was closing in by now
Storm Fortnite is one of the key ingredients in battle royale, forcing players to face each other as they struggle to stay in the ever-shrinking safe zone and stay on their feet for the rest of the match.

The term "dub" often refers to the first sound (English) in the "W" (double-u). That 'W' stands for 'Win', so when people talk about 'solo dubbing' it means they probably won a round of Fortnite either playing alone or as a solo player.
