“Told You I Was Right” is a reflection on Alkaline’s life so far and many of the lessons he has learnt along the way.
Many of the things he had predicted for himself, his team, and his family are finally coming true; and he is thankful for it.
[Intro: Alkaline]
Portsmouth, only we know
Yo, come on, only we know
A fool is always the last to know
Dem nuh know yet (Only we know)
Still nuh know
[Chorus]
Told you I was right
So fucking right, she give me the pussy, she just did a hype
Told you I was right
Yea me did right, memba me tell yuh me neva feel dem vibes
Told you I was right (I knew it!)
Yea me did right, dem bwoy ya nuh bad, dem just a act like
Told you I was right
Yea me did right
Now look pon me life
[Verse 1]
We going harder than harder
We getting larger and larger
Is like we grown and tun we fada, fada
Time fly suh fast, nuff respect to the boss
Still nuh find nuh woman at all weh remind me a me mada
One time we did too young, we did haffi stay inna the yard
Couldn't wait fi grow up and move out and get we owna yard
Now we do whatever weh we want
Realize seh nuff a the things weh we did want a nuh weh we want
Now we do whatever weh we please
A 7' o'clock now, a news time and we still a watch MTV
Look like everything change up now
See the bwoy Andrew wha day him get deep voice and beard up now
Look like every dawg change up now
Kenny seh him soon breed Shaneika look like him brave up now
Couple years Miller a guh turn a Attorney at Law
As if my success already neva did a kill them off
Glad fi see seh tings a work out fi every dawg
One a dem day ya we a guh link up, gwan hold it off
[Chorus]
Ohh, tell yuh me right
Seh me did a guh mek it pass the fight
Told you I was right
Yea me did right, your bwoy deh, him get it weh night
Told you I was right
Yea me did right, seh the whole a dem just a look a hype
Told you I was right (I knew it!)
Yea me did right
Now look pon me life
[Verse 2]
Aye
Seen it all, sometime me feel me live this life before
Nothing nuh really surprise we or excite we nuh more
We head inna di clouds, we foot deh pon di floor
Although we grounded, there's a floor unda di floor
Wish me cudda tek back some fuck me a tell yuh
When me look pon me life now me pree me neva haffi guh deh suh
To them is a blessing. To me is a lesson
Cyah tek the bagga stalking, cyah tek the stressing
Still have the bite mark dem pon me finga
Dat happen when yuh too kind and always share yuh dinner
To them is a blessing
To me is a lesson
Cyah tek the bagga fake-ness, cyah tek the stressing
Cyah stop, now is another gear we inna
To me owna country me a foreigner
Rassclat now is a bimma Sash inna
And is a bimma dat frass inna
Lee Miller, we right
[Chorus]
Jah know, jah know we right
The things dem people ya will do fi get likes
Told you I was right
Yea me did right, your bwoy deh, him get it weh night
Told you I was right
Yea me did right, seh the whole a dem just a look a hype
Told you I was right
Yea me did right
Now look pan me life
