Here we have lyrics to an old bajan dub song by the local comedian-music group Madd, I took the time and patience to decipher the 5 stanzas, err verses. Minus the chorus because it's pretty repetitive. It's comical lyrical tune with a very important underlying meaning. The thug-badboy-gangsta life does not end very well. Take a listen to some of the hardcore rhymes.
MADD - Last Saturday Night lyrics
down through de alley playing piece o romey
risking my coppers at a boy salary
cards hard, can't win a lil grantley
gamble out ma grandmother light bill money
brek like a bottle, mah pocket empty
wud like to check a fete but aint had nah currency
so I slide, glide home to granny old house
then rememba she did saying she sleeping by de men's house
gone in she apron first thing I see, sir grantley hundred dollar bill peepin at me
well I stash de cash, old girl ah sorry
you can't be borne, yuh can't miss this lil berry
beep beep beep-beep, outside car horn blow
my man Jon Bockey holla "come lewwe go"
so I rush in de yard, hold a cowboy quick
grab de keys and in de car hop in it
thick! was de smoke from de chronic
though he had a *carrot and i hit piece of rit
turn up de beenie man, run de rout'
"be careful ya hear" me old granny shout
relax old girl, "you know that i will"
[and I hope you rememba ta pay me light bill]
eerrrrrrrkx! we ease pon this set
to collect
a lil school girl friend of mine name Yvette
only 13, but she body correct. correct!
she come by de window in a bare brassiere
she mudda holler out "she ain't leffin in hay"
I say "woman shut ya face, somebody call you"
"Yvette run de rout' or wait, wah fah do"
["I figure u deaf or u play u can't hear
i say that Yvette aint leffin in hay"]
"wait Yvette uze a woman or a lil baby
you chilling wid you mudda or you touring wid me
cos I int no lil boy, don't play wid my brain
as you can't hang wit me, doan come round me again"
she ease from de window, put on she clothes quick
shove in she nose-ring, piece o lipstick
bore past she mudda in de verandah
sat on my lap and exchanged saliva
first *date crack, jack and we gone
lef she mudda cursing and carrying on
"ya lil school rat, ya aint got na shame
when de police got ya tail, doan call my name"
so we pull up by de fete, place correct
passed the gate man and we gon thru de door
one DJ Supa spinning hard tune galore pon de floor
women like sand, place ram
and Jon Bockey, got a little thing wukkin-up... pan
ort man
sudden so, a musty man wid he bad breath self
up in my face threatening my health
bout i mash he big toe
and dint tell he sorry, so he got 5 minds to chop up my anantomy
well you see dah talk, barely asking for trouble
I introduce he head to a sweet drink bottle
one lash in he mels' I know dat does hurt
and I draw my sword to give Two Son's some work
but lucky fuh he, George from de Baylan'
grabble me tight and hol' on pun my hand
cos George know that I sick
I does fight wid de best
I wuh make that boy mudda go and buy a black dress
he ease off de ground, hol' on pon he head
look in he hand, all he see was red
ease thru de door, look back and he say "you feel that it done, but it aint done dey"
fete done and I ready to go home
high, tired, drunk to de bone
gone behind de car to leh go lil wee wee
and a mind tell me look round and who shall I see
same bad breath man wid 3 otha men
dem wid shotguns and he wid a lens'
"dat dats daz de man dey, yuh feel ya cudda crack my head and get way"
BLAM BLAM shotgun shotty start to bark
I dive behind de car, no time to skylark
I reach in my hip for my nine milleme-ta
no retreat, no surren-da
BLAX! BLAX! and I start lick a shot
BADDAX BADDAX! and I dare not stop
till I see a boy fall and hol' he belly
well once there was 4 and now there are 3
same time Jon Bockey now step out de dance
see wha gine on and he each in he pants
for he mister tom feller wuh ya call magnum
but John Bockey aint get chance to use um
BUDDUNG BUDUUNG! shot gun in he chest
and Jon fell to his eternal rest
o Lord, my God he neva wudda live
they lef more holes in Jon that a sieve
Yvette holla "murda, call de police"
hear my de gun barking and just when it cease
she run cross de road to *memba ta hide
and I holla "no Yvette no go back inside"
but too late BLAM BLAM! shotgun in she head, and I watch my girlfriend how she fall down dead
and I panic and I get up and run to help she
BLAM BLAM! shotgun hit me right in me belly
and I look up and se de same bad breath man
smiling at me, wit a gun in he hand
so I rase up my weapon to get off a shot
but I felt so weak and fell pon de spot
and look round, see Jon Buckey bead, Yvette with a big hole in she head
BLAM BLAM! he pull de trigger again
and in my chest I felt a burning pain
in a split second it was over and done
I live by de sword and die by de gun
easy so my life out like a candle
in de darkness I saw de death angel
and cried "o Lord have mercy on ma soul"
I lost my life at fifteen years old.
* for some of the words I guessed.
I think the best part of this is the quick flow in the beginning of verse 3.
