Paroles de « Di Lawn Weh Turn To Building »

Verse

Dem build a six storey pon di old lawn
Where we did play from seventy-eight to two thousand
Fifteen hundred people fit inna dat lawn
Now it hold bout forty apartment an a parking
Mi walk past it last week an mi stop
Mi stand up pon di sidewalk like a fool
Trying fi work out exactly weh di stage did deh
Mi tink it was round by di second entrance

Chorus

Di lawn weh turn to building
Nutten wrong wid people needing house
Di lawn weh turn to building
But where di next one supposed to go
Di lawn weh turn to building
Dem never build a new lawn nowhere

Verse

Every empty space inna dis city gone now
Every lot, every yard, every corner
An everybody seh dat a progress, an it is
Mi nuh want nobody live inna bad house fi mi music
But nobody ever ask where di dance fi go
Dem just tek di space an dem move on
An den dem wonder why di young people vex
An why nobody know dem neighbour no more

Bridge

We move to di yard behind mi house inna two thousand
Half di size, half di crowd, but it fi we
Nobody can sell it cause mi own it
Dat a why mi never sell it when di price did good
Three time somebody offer mi real money
Money fi stop work, money fi rest
An every time mi tink bout di lawn, an mi seh no
Mi a go dead broke inna a yard weh have a gate, an dat fine

Nutten wrong wid people needing house
Di lawn weh turn to building
