My Contribution to Calypso... (Joo-bai)

Some people ask me if I writing Calypso

How is my lyrics they hearing in the fiesta show

And how all of a sudden everybody saying

all the things that they know i used to be writing

I tell them no sah, eh eh, it wasn't me

And i need to say this to everyone categorically

and if all yuh think it so easy to write a song

then next year i coming hard and i  taking the crown

I go sing how Kamla wasting everybody time

and Warner accuse Sharma of tiefing she wine

And Ramlogan couldn't find a piano with a map

How he so duncy they should make him wear a cap

How Cornelis like she really mad for true

And Justice Herbert Volney have a screw loose too

And Ramma De Jamma only like to pose

This will be my contribution to calypso...

I would sing how they fool we with the exchange

and how de whole blasted bunch sounding deranged

how de country cyah take four more years

because in ten short months dey done have we in tears

How Ish and Ferguson still ent gone nowhere

And if Ramlogan had his way they staying right here

All this extradition talk is to fool you and me

the deal was made with Royal Castle money

I will sing how Anil Roberts really dotish fuh so

How he end he career with de stupid Nicky Minaj show

And that Sandy in the Parliament only marking time

his stint in Government is the real big ass crime

And Nizam get a bligh cuz he and Kamla chummy

A Canadian Commissioner think all ah we chupidy

And how de people think is time he pack his bags and go

That would be my contribution to calypso...

I will tell them Roodal Monilal is a blasted louse

One setta style yet up to now he ent build one house

and since they gave him that Ministry

he flammin' heself all over town for all to see

And how he learning to play benefactor

now that his wife is a big CEPEP contractor

I want to tell him this one for true

be careful what doh meet yuh doh pass yuh too

I want to sing about our modern day Ali Baba

Our teflon don, Austin Jack Warner

How I hear him tell Jennings he go spit on he

I fraid cause I ent want none of he nasty spit to fall on me

but when I hear he sharing contract like peas

and putting Barbie dolls to work wherever he please

I want to tell him clear so he will know

He is my real reason for writing calypso...

They say Phillip sing nah, sing it loud and true

how any topical thing under the sun will do

If I sing I want to sing against hypocrisy

and about what passing for patriotism in this country

how people who doh have no set a qualification

other than to put money in the UNC pan

all of a sudden they jump up and living like Lords

Getting fancy position to sit on State Boards

Tell them if and when I come I go be coming hard

And if I sing at all I singing for Trinidad

I want to call their names for everyone to see

all of the shirt and tie bandits who robbing we

I want to sing against the rabid Party supporters

who not even good enough for dog shit cleaners

who contribute to all the mess in sweet Trinbago

and make me have to come out and sing this calypso

Joo-bai...
