Remember when de cellphone now came on de scene
De ting was big like a washing machine
Invented in 1973
It was a Motorola Dyna TAC
Well shrinking this giant that was de trick
De phone was so heavy that they called it a brick
just like Dick Tracey's wrist radio
De dream was to talk while on de go
A man from Chicago a big dreamer
Skillful engineer called Martin Cooper
he had noble intentions but didn't know
how de popularity of de cell would grow
Now movin' from analogue to android
his great invention created a void
pandemic like a viral disease
transforming its victims into one of these

Heading to town in a maxi de odder day
Ah say "good morning" but to my dismay
only one soul responded to my salute
De res' ah dem like dey put dey mouth on mute
Polite conversations used to be de norm
chatting has evolved into a different form
long ago we used to speak wid we mouth and lips
Nowadays we tongue is we fingertips
Well ah reach down in town just ah little late
as ah waiting to cross in front ah City Gate
like red ants on honey children gathered around
two school girls wrestlin' on de ground
De crowd standing by were in a frenzy
Cheerin' on de fighters like is UFC
Dem young paparazzis had to catch dis show
instead ah parting de fight dey makin' video

De next day I takin' dis girl on a date
Yuh boy ready early ah doh want to be late
Dressed up like a dan cause ah want to impress
girlfriend step out in she Sunday best
As we step in de place I mute mih cellphone
Full attention mus' be on she alone
Appetizer reach but before we devour
she whatsapp she friend for half an hour
After a while I eh take it no more
before she finish chat I headin' for de door
Ah say to mihself never me again
Dis cellphone addiction causin' me real pain
Is hard to believe but it eh no lie
Dis disease it nearly cause a woman to die
While chattin' on Facebook candidly
De woman walk off a pier and fall in de see

All yuh hear 'bout de woman on de US plane
She start to carry on like she goin' insane
From lady to jammette she tun into
passengers want to know wha's de hullabaloo
Well I say something have to be amiss
That makin' de woman behave like this
De bird ready to fly she say "Leave me alone
I for one eh takin' off my cellphone!"
Yuh tellin' yuhself " I is no cell junkie,
he singing 'bout dis hypothetically
Well here's my advice I'm not being mean
somedays put yuh cellphone in quarantine
While on vacation leave de smartphone on ice
De memories you make is worth de sacrifice
Have more conversations face to face
And cell addiction will be less commonplace
