Rain Pon Di Speaker Box

Paroles de « Rain Pon Di Speaker Box »

Verse

August rain come sudden inna dis place
One minute dry, next minute river inna di street
Mi have eight tarpaulin roll up under di table
An six man weh know exactly weh fi run
Fifteen second, di whole stack cover
We practise it more dan we practise di music
Cause water an amp nah friend at all
An a two year wages inna dem box deh

Chorus

Rain pon di speaker box
Cover it quick, cover it quick
Rain pon di speaker box
Di dance nuh done, just wait
Rain pon di speaker box
We nah run, we a wait

Verse

Di crowd never run inna ninety-one
Four hundred people stand up inna di rain
Soaking wet, laughing, waiting fi we
An when we tek off di tarpaulin dem shout
Dat a when mi know dis nuh belong to mi
Mi just a hold di key fi somebody else house
If dem willing fi stand inna rain fi it
Den a fi dem, an mi just a work

Chorus

Rain pon di speaker box
Cover it quick, cover it quick
Rain pon di speaker box
Di dance nuh done, just wait
Rain pon di speaker box
We nah run, we a wait

Bridge

Mi lose one amp inna two thousand an four
Big storm, di tarpaulin lift, water get in
Smoke come out, smell like burn hair
An mi sit down inna di mud an mi cry, true
Next morning, twelve people come a mi gate
Wid money inna dem hand, nobody call dem
Mi never even did seh nutten to nobody
Dat a di only time mi tek money from di dance

Chorus

Rain pon di speaker box
Cover it quick, cover it quick
Rain pon di speaker box
Di dance nuh done, just wait
