32 Barz

Nuff time mi did just want let this ting guh

Cah mi cya afford fi get caught in a di hype and ego

And now mi get fi ovastand really

How things guh!

The industry full a lie mi n dem cya sync up

On the radio is just garbage

Let mi talk it, let me talk it

Regardless, every tune weh mi drop it just a bloom like an orchid

N careful of your favorite artist

Cuz now a days dem sell dem souls to the trends of the market

And now a days respect based on the

Depths your pockets

From video sets to selling light deps in da market

From the stress of sellin these deps

While on these tours that we departed

More time mi feel fi give up on this journey

I departed

But den mi think a di fans n

Where it started

Performing for my first university party

That's when mi and university parted

Start fi move boxes in da parking

Fi pay for di studio recording

32 bars yes straight 16

A beat and a mic is really all need

Mi kno fi a fact some couldn't stomach these losses

And still find life's joys as time passes

We still made more than those label advances

Still found ways to make these songs reach the masses

Never sold masters to dese slave masters

Standing ovations, toasting we glasss

Living this life

Til this flesh turns to ashes

True happiness is when the family rejoices

A w artist learn the power of what a voice is

That's when they make the music no

Compromises

All sacrifices

Real recognizes

The real from the plastic

This time gets so drastic

Mi freedom mi risk it nuh chance it

Steam up mi tangie inna mi fresh mesh ganzie

Fresh bank no strap tight inna lastic

32 bars Selassie I live

32 bars yes yeh 16

A beat and mic is all I need
