Records Under Di House

Paroles de « Records Under Di House »

Verse

Seven thousand record under di house
Inna crate, inna box, inna plastic bag
Some of dem mi never play inna twenty year
Some of dem mi nuh even know mi have
When it rain hard mi go down deh wid a torch
Fi check if any water find a way in
An mi always end up sitting down two hour
Just reading label, just remembering

Chorus

Records under di house
Seven thousand quiet ting
Records under di house
Every one a somebody night
Records under di house
Dem wait pon mi, dem patient

Verse

Mi know weh mi buy every single one
Which shop, which year, how much mi pay
Mi know which one mi save up two month for
An which one mi find inna a pile fi ten dollar
Dem nuh worth money, most of dem
A collector would a tek maybe two hundred
Di rest a just record, scratch up, common
But di value nah inna di record, it inna di knowing

Chorus

Records under di house
Seven thousand quiet ting
Records under di house
Every one a somebody night
Records under di house
Dem wait pon mi, dem patient

Bridge

When mi dead somebody haffi deal wid dis
Seven thousand record an nobody know di order
But it have a order, it have a whole order
It inna mi head an it nah written nowhere
So mi start write it, two year now
A book, by hand, which crate, which shelf, which year
Mi reach bout two thousand three hundred
Mi a go dead before mi finish, but mi a write it

Chorus

Records under di house
Seven thousand quiet ting
Records under di house
Every one a somebody night
