Somebody Great - Alkaline

Day and day me a lose offa humans, you know?

No, big man thing

Me a pree fi go move to a different planet or sumn

Big man thing, mee lose offa Earth, straight

Them nuh… them nuh make people like them use to

Me a tell yuh

They don’t love me now like they use to do

And we don’t really talk like we use to do

They don’t love me now

Like they use to do, like they use to do, like they use to do

Jump out a bed in a whole different place

Price yuh affi pay fi be somebody great

Everybody waan sumn, complaints pon complaints

Price yuh affi pay fi be somebody great

Have me big house a yard and live out a suitcase

Price yuh affi pay fi be somebody great

Haffi laugh up wid some people weh me nuh rate

Price yuh affi pay fi be somebody great

They don’t love me now like they use to do

And we don’t really talk like we use to do

They don’t love me now

Like they use to do, like they use to do, like they use to do

Just chat to Shabba seh him love how me a deal wid the place

Seh a said way dem use to fight him inna '87, '88

Him seh gwan do yuh thing youth and nuh listen weh nobody seh straight

If yuh neva mek the sound, dem a hear.

Gwan dweet

Dancehall is a heavy weight

Suppose me neva buss, some artist still woulda have dem space

Them wouldn’t a complain.

Them wouldn’t have time fi hate

Some a them wouldn’t even have time fi go party every night straight

Wouldn’t a cuss and seh them get unda rate

Wouldn’t haffi bleach pan panta fi dub plate

Me might retire a likkle late

Every man waan be the man, man just waan be great

Me see tour dates a get shorter

Me see egos a get smaller

(Ha) Neva see smoke without fire

Everybody a beg friend, a look strength from each other

Cyah tell when last me see mi mada

Long fi reason wid fada

Them back to back flight ya, every week a get to me now

Cyah tell when last me see me yard

They don’t love me now like they use to do

And we don’t really talk like we use to do

They don’t love me now

Like they use to do, like they use to do, like they use to do

Jump out a bed in a whole different time

Left Jamaica afta 12, land inna Europe afta 9

The time of badmind

The time of hypocrites, yuh get fraid fi speak yuh mind

The time, the time

When loyality is just fi a time

When mankind bad and naive

All a them Rolex ya and me still feel like me nah no time

Me start stay more to mi self now

Me stop tek care a me health now

Who else me a go help now?

Who me a go gi a strength to, who a guh remind me why me me nuh gi no strength

now?

(Hmph) Honestly, me nuh too trust people so much

(Hmph) Honestly, them get comfortable dem feel them know you too much

No honestly, me feel me too real

Honest too much

Them gi we five minutes of fame, that was too much

Come in by the teaspoon, come out wid a cup full up

They don’t love me now like they use to do

And we don’t really talk like we use to do

They don’t love me now

Like they use to do, like they use to do, like they use to do

Day and day me a lose offa humans, you know?

Jah know…

A pree fi guh move to a different planet or sumn
