Can a dancehall song survive arrangement in a musical minor scale? The answer is yes – if I spend my only breath on a song. Not to mourn the dark, but to keep a small light alive within it. Come dance with me.
My first song ever!
May well be my last!
Yo, pull up!
Hear mi now!Girl, I see you deh pon di wall, cool and calm
Lookin’ sweet, like you just escape a charm
But di riddim callin’, baby, can’t you hear di alarm?
Mi got dis feeling, gon’ protect you from all harm.
Di DJ drop a beat, make di whole place shake
Body language tell me, you got what it takes
So don’t you worry ’bout no ex-man or no fakes
Just give me one likkle chance, for goodness sakes.If I ask you to dance, yeah, you drop your heart
You come dance with me, right from di start.
Forget your worries, play your brand new part
Let di music free your soul, make a brand new art.
If I ask you to dance, yeah, you drop your heart
You come dance with me, tearin’ up di chart.
Feel di bassline pulsate, baby, light up di dark
Let your body speak di language, leave a permanent mark.Di way you carry yourself, so elegant and fine
Every move you make, just send shivers down mi spine
From di corner to di center, girl, you know you gonna shine
Forget di politics, let our two bodies entwine.
Mi seh mi got di vibe, fi make you lose control
