Waist (Remastered)

If you need me
I’ll be in the gym
Trying to look like her
Trying to look like him
On the machine
With vigour and vim
Trying to get with them
Trying to look more slim
More like Slender Man
Barber Sam
Trim
When I wind waist
They all slide in
When I wind waist
They all slide in
When I wind waist
They all slide in
When I wind waist
They all slide in
If I’m not on the dance floor
I’ll be at the gym
Trying to get with her
Trying to get with him
Lost my mind
So I find my body
Wind my waist
It’s my new hobby
Sinewy
Still sinning
Still slipping
But less so
Got more gas
In the tank
I know my Esso
From my snow
And my plank
From my row
My k from my coke
And my yes
From my no
I gotta go
I gotta go
I gotta go
I gotta go
Get it in
Get it in
Get it in
Get it in

Trying (Remastered)

Don’t sweat me
Don’t stress me
I’m trying
Trust me
But these things take time
And I feel like I’m running out of it
At the end of my wit
Wrist waan slit
Dick can’t lift
Debt can’t shift
Life can’t live
But I survived somehow
Made it out
So
Don’t sweat me
Don’t stress me
I’m trying
trust me
And you look lovely
It’s not you you it’s me
I’ve been down
Seen
I’ll be up soon but these things take time
Don’t sweat me
Don’t stress me
I’m trying
Trust me
Little bit rusty
Down and dusty
Out of lust
And life looks ugly
But
You look lovely
I’m trying
Trust me
These things take time
Trust me
Trust me

Do you know what he’d done
Your rasclart son
They say he’s lost
The devil’s won
Out in the moon
A stranger to sun
Lost in the world
Comment One
Comet shoots
A star is done
Star 9 gun
Going
Gone
Call your friend
Sat all alone with smokers lung
Your cunting daughter
What’s she done
Ended up with him for one
A dinner and some drugs for two
Oh what’d he do
Oh what’d he do
Played songs and danced the night away
Oh to live this life again
To see the lock and break the chain
And never be unfree again
Fettered to a bed and bound
Sat like an obedient hound
The two of them both devil spawn
But bless the day that they were born
For that was me
And that was you
Doing things we shouldn’t do
But what else could we both have done
Rasclart daughter
Cunting son
In love at least that’s how it felt
Sometimes it seems that’s how it feels
Maybe lust is how it’s spelt
But either one for sure it’s real
Hearts asunder
Coming down
Heads are spinning
Round and round
Look at you now
Your parent’s kid
Cursed for all the things you did
Cursed for all the things you done
Cunting daughter
Rasclart son
Wildest child
So wild you be
You’ll never die
You’ll live in me

Duppied (Remastered)

Big duppy
Can’t fraid I
See I
Can’t fraid
Been so
Shook so
Shaken up
Duppied up
Money low
Broken and bruck
A scary thing
All duppied up
Friends are moving
Far away
And life gets faster day by day
Can’t keep up
I can’t keep up
A scary thing
All duppied up
But I don’t fraid so
Easy no
You see the places that I go
Some crazy pubs
And busy clubs
The toilets there
All duppied up
Wired up
And nervous nuff
Blue flashing lights
My heart I clutch
A scary flick
My love I grip
My head in belly
Buried in
I won’t go down
Come up for kiss
Might go down later
After this
I love it so
Can’t fraid me nuh
This horror film
All duppied up

Afraid (Remastered)
01:15

How goes your night
How was your day
Are you afraid
Like im afraid
You sleep with lamp
I sleep with mates
And keep it dark
For others’ sake
Are you afraid
Like I’m afraid
I weren’t afraid
But I’m afraid
I’m seeking light
But see the shade
I’m seeking life
But see the grave
It’s dark at night
And in the day
I look outside
It’s all so grey
All so white
And all so pale
And also black
What’s in the mail
Another debt
Another bill
I’ll write my will
My self to kill
But then again
I’m asking you
Wondering what
You’ve been up to
If you’re afraid
Like I’m afraid
And you start saying
Things I say
Right back at me
Right in my face
How goes my night
Well it’s okay
How goes my day
Some went away
Some went my way
It’s how it goes
It’s still alive
Survived the ghost
Outran the beast
Outlived the shame
Outside of me
They know my name
But not my life
And not my pain
But nor do I
We’re all the same
At times afraid
But face it brave
With you beside
I’ll see the day
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid

Busy (Remastered)

Not free tonight
I’m busy still
Me ‘ead at ‘urt
I’m kinda ill
Made some plans
I need to keep
But feel like chilling
Need to sleep
Want to see you
Really do
Really do
I really do
I really really really do
Like really really really do
But can’t tonight
I can’t come through
So say when works
Another time
Another day
Another night
And I’ll be there
With all the bells
Ringing
Singing
Chiming
Jingling
Busy still
Still busy still
I’ve got plans now
Lots of plans
So many plans
Like loads of plans
And big ideas
And goals
And dreams
I’ll see you soon
Till then
It’s C. R. E. A. M

You’ll never die
Won’t ever die
Another night
You’ll stay alive
You’ll ever fly
On eagle’s wings
By mountains high
A duppy no
You’ll never go
You’ll never go
You’ll never go
You’ll stay alive
You’ll stay awake
You’ll never sleep
You’re in the game
But then it comes
But then it came
Straight out the blue
The acid rain
A funky cloud
A grimy flood
Deep like dub
A shower today
Washing all the punks away
Electric shock
The thunder came
The death of sun
The birth of pain
An overdose
I understand
We used to hang
And now they hang
A cancer of the flesh and bone
They were feeling so alone
Speeding down a busy road
They never ever made it home
Jumped the tracks
And met the train
In their sleep
They passed away
I never thought you’d ever die
Each time I see you so alive
You’re still alive
You’re still alive
You’re still alive
You’re still alive
I can see you
If I try
You’re still alive
You’re still alive
I talk to those
In afterlife
You never die
You never die

I’m just cheffing
Cheffing
Text you later
Chef like boxer
Chef like straker
Scotch bonnet cheffing
Red stew cheffing
White rice cheffing
Callaloo cheffing
Five star cheffing
Mish-uh-lin cheffing
mispronounced Or missspelt
Either way
I’m sorry it came so late
I miss how you taste
No more missionary
For a minute
I’ll be with you in an hour
Just burned my tongue
I’ll still dine with you
If your steak’s well done
We don’t judge no one
From the philistines dining in chains
To the youts in chains locked down for cheffing
High street cheffing
Late night cheffing
Blinding
Effing
Streets be crazy
My kitchen will be amazing
With soft close cupboards and an island
We can chop on it
Hot like the aforementioned scotch bonnet
I’ll see if I can fit five in to this dish
Wishes granted and taking nothing for
Lost my pen knife but at least
It weren’t found by the law
So I’m free
I’ll be right here cheffing
Amon cheffing
Big Ibz cheffing
Big josh cheffing
Big Mike cheffing
If that guy looks at me funny one more time
I will chef him
Teach us both a lesson
Don’t think I’ll like prison food
I’ve seen them on Tik tok
Hot kettle cheffing
Tech house shuffling
No knives in the dance
Big Ben cheffing
Lily Jones baking
Lizzy P making bread
Izzy wild’s boyfriend
High end cheffing
I and I cheffing
Bourdain resting
Albion wood pigeon
Soho house discount
Bread and wine religion
No dry wafers I made it out
I’m outside cheffing
Late night cheffing
Indoors cheffing
Hot couple cheffing
Airport check-in
Plane food cheffing
Hard food cheffing
Pill popping no more soft serve
It’s iceberg slim ice cream cheffing
Cheffing
Cheffing
Cheffing
Bajan chefette
Big Fred waving
Six roads cheffing
Caribbean cheffing
Run down
Buss up shot
Fling me far and take me back
To Gillett square for post
Nts breakfast show
Jerk man
Cheffing
Big drum cheffing
I and I cheffing
Cheffing
Cheffing
Cheffing
Cheffing

Tell (Remastered)

I was low
Could you tell
Couldn’t show
Couldn’t tell
Could you tell
I was down
I went straight
Weren’t around
I was up
I was high
It was swell
Could you tell
Then I fell
Could you tell
In the place
Where I dwell
There was smoke
Could you tell
Lots of fumes
In the room
Death knell
Ringing bells
It was hell
It was hell
Was unwell
Could you tell
Could you tell
Could you tell
Got a secret as well
Would you tell
Would you tell

Gone West (Remastered)

No ones here
They all left
Nothings saved
It’s all debt
It’s all washed
It’s all wet
Nothing gross
Nothing net
It’s all gone
I just checked
Nothing left
Nothing left
It’s all gone
Couldn’t get
Couldn’t get
Couldn’t get
No cash
No cheque
Match
game
And set
Gone south
Gone west
All cursed
Not blessed
All worse
Not best
No more
All less
Cess
But yes
It’s sticks
It’s stems
I can’t see
Them
No sex
No Chems
No you
Just me
No us
Just me
Just me
Just me
Just me
Just me
