Mi Father Sound

Paroles de « Mi Father Sound »

Verse

Mi father did have a sound before mi
Two box an a turntable weh skip
Him play inna di same yard, same gate
From nineteen sixty-two till him dead
Mi was eleven when mi start carry wire fi him
Just wire, nutten else, dat was di job
Three year of wire before him mek mi touch a record
An mi never understand it till mi have mi own yout

Chorus

Mi father sound, mi father sound
Mi just a carry it likkle further
Mi father sound, mi father sound
Di gate did deh deh before mi
Mi father sound
Mi nuh start nutten, mi continue

Verse

Him dead inna eighty-four, October
Heart, at di gate, setting up, five o'clock
Di dance never happen dat night, first time inna years
Di people dem come anyway an dem stand up
Nobody play no music, dem just stand up inna di yard
Four hour, den dem go home, no word
Next Friday mi set up di box dem miself
Mi did twenty-three, mi hand dem shake

Chorus

Mi father sound, mi father sound
Mi just a carry it likkle further
Mi father sound, mi father sound
Di gate did deh deh before mi
Mi father sound
Mi nuh start nutten, mi continue

Bridge

Mi keep him first record inna a box under di house
It mash up, it cyaa play, it warp from heat
But it deh deh, an mi know exactly weh
Every couple year mi tek it out an look pon it
Mi never play it, not even when it did play
Him never play it neither, last twenty year of him life
Some ting yuh keep fi keep, not fi use
Every house have one, everybody know which one

Chorus

Mi father sound, mi father sound
Mi just a carry it likkle further
Mi father sound, mi father sound
Di gate did deh deh before mi

Outro

Mi nuh start nutten
