[Bridgetown General]
I been up more than I been down
I been lost for a while finally I been found
And they can try but they can't take my crown
'Cause when I say Bridge everybody say Town
When I say Bridge everybody say Town
My life a movie
Glory be to God 'cause I know he's working thru me
Still remember everything they try fi do me
How can I forget the pussy really try fi sue me
I kept the moving
I made the money back and put it on me some jewelry
So fuck whoever try fi judge me like a jury
Pay dem no mind 'cause me know God watch over me
And me no need no prize money
Don't need no credit from the industry
Still a give them new style fi dem try copy
No matter how you try you still can't be like me
And me don't need no round of applause
I been through hell and then no know the half
Can't believe them try fi cancel me dawg
(I really can't believe them try fi cancel me dawg)
'Cause I been up more than I been down
I been lost for a while finally I been found
And they can try but they can't take my crown
'Cause when I say Bridge everybody say Town
When I say Bridge everybody say Town
A which boy call me vulture?
Like dem no know me woulda die for the culture
From me say Obeah Me me lock up any function
Lagos to Kingston go straight back to London
Dem bwoy deh nah no structure
Close minded yute him need a brain fracture
I guess I'm too good for this evil world
That's why my heart turn stone cold not even bullet can't puncture
So tell me why them hate me? Somebody tell me why them hate me so
Me show love to everybody anywhere me go
Them must be tired hear me singing pon them radio
Bust ask your girl who her favourite is
If a nuh Dudu or me I don't know who it is
See them a plan fi see me fall down pon me knees
But if me ever stop sing then who gon run the biz
Honestly, who gon give you songs for more than ten years?
Who gon make you face all your deepest fears?
Who go make you smile? Who gon make you shed tears?
I'm too advanced yah go catch it in a hundred years
Don't see nobody that could ever come and take my place
So when I die you better cut off your ears (Cut off your ears)
I get it
We only hate when we nuh understand
Them never seen so much soul inside a white man
My so fuck it, carry me go station
But God alone fi judge me weh nuh answer to no man
We nuh answer to no yute
Brainwashed, you can't tell lies from the truth
This a nuh lyrics a nuh money, this is food
Guess I had to kill the elephant inna the room
[Kill the Elephant]
Ye
Heavy on it's lonely at the top dawg
Heavy on the rum shake
Make sure you fill it up and don't be scared to put some more on top
I need a drink I'm gonna face my fears
I need to say some things that I've been holding back for more than ten years
This industry in debt to me, competition dead to me
Man all these artists come and go
They get one song then rise and fall still end up looking up to me, ye
I'm everything they made wanted them to be I said
Put in the work I had to run so they could walk
Been counted out so many times but kept on coming back
Try sell me out so many times wish you could see the scars
Me nuh fall under pressure and we no bend fi no awards, I
Born in Lisbon but my dreams ain't got no residence
Them tell you be yourself but don't you ever dare be different
Gwaan like me a the problem somebody make that make some fucking sense
War over Gaza and they want jail me fi me accent
They don't like me but me necessary
They don't like it when you're fearless and you step outta the ordinary
I get it, pleasing everybody scary
But only one of us is living life and we both going cemetery
We both haffi face the judgement when the time comes
Judge me by the fruits of all my labour when my time done
God, I was hiding from my purpose but me stop run
I'm stretching out my hands to you I'm proud to say I'm God‘s son
I'm proud I hit the studio when I was feeling down
Proud I took my time put in work and kept my head down
I'm proud I never took my two feet off the ground
I'm proud of me, I'm proud of all of you
I'm proud to say I'm Bridgetown
I'm proud they tried to buy my soul and I turned that offer down
I'm proud I never dropped my head, I'm proud I never let myself down
Me born a king and me nuh need no crown
And every door them try fi lock we ago kick that motherfucka down
Music is universal, music belongs to no one
Music belongs to God
And so, as the business is becoming the way it's becoming today
It seems that there seems to be a coming together all over the world of music
And it's gonna come to a point where there will probably be no more categories
After a while, music will simply be music
