Somebody Great
[Intro]
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
[Chorus] (x2)
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus] (x2)
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
[Verse 2]
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 me madda
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
[Chorus] (x2)
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus] (x2)
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
[Outro]
Day and day me a lose offa humans, you know?
Jah know...
A pree fi guh move to a different planet or sumn
