Ten o'clock a Friday, di dance a warm up
An mi see a young woman a come through di gate
Baby pon her hip, maybe eight month old
She nah come fi complain, she come fi dance
Mi drop di bass six decibel, nobody notice
Except she notice, an she look up
An she nod one time, small nod, an gone
Dat a di whole transaction, nutten more
Turn it down fi di baby
Di dance nah go dead fi dat
Turn it down fi di baby
Six decibel nuh cost nutten
Turn it down fi di baby
An everybody stay
Plenty sound man a go seh mi soft
Seh yuh cyaa run a sound an care bout baby
Mi run dis sound longer dan dem alive
An di reason a because people can come
If only one kind a people can come out
Den yuh nuh have a dance, yuh have a club
An a club close down when di fashion change
A dance close down when di last one dead
Turn it down fi di baby
Di dance nah go dead fi dat
Turn it down fi di baby
Six decibel nuh cost nutten
Turn it down fi di baby
An everybody stay
Dat baby name Shanice, she twenty-two now
She come every Friday weh she deh a yard
She know di whole selection, every one
She a go tek over di sound when mi cyaa do it
She never know seh she was at her first dance
Before she coulda walk, pon her mother hip
Mi never tell her, mi a go tell her one day
Maybe when mi hand dem cyaa find di record
Turn it down fi di baby
Di dance nah go dead fi dat
Turn it down fi di baby
Six decibel nuh cost nutten
An everybody stay
An everybody stay
Everybody stay
