Da one ya a fi grandpa

As a little youth, me run the place

Deh pon him face
A true me young, ever in a haste
Nonstop up and down the whole fing place

Everybody just a rush
Try know your fing pace

When you figure it out, a you them ago rate
Not tonight, nah lose mi sanity

Down to how she care me, when the energy fade
She seh listen me, each and every day
