Verse
1
Pan limbo
calypso blossomed in Trinbago
With a recipe from we African
ancestry Instead of embracing we
start emulating All other rhythms
and we natural culture dying
Chorus
We slipping
things up hold your head up This
tempo can't drop is jamming non-stop
Culture fire burning keep we art
form growing We slipping things
up hold your head up From bottom
to top pick calypso up Keep the
future bright come from darkness
into the light
Verse
2
I want to
hear kaiso all over the radio
station to station with more love
and attention Yes I love meh soca
I have chutney fever For the tree
to fruit you must keep nurturing the
root
Chorus
Verse 3
I was just
observing how this ship was sailing
As we steered off course and
appreciation was lost 'cause this
new machinery don't respect we
history You would never know that
you're in the Mecca of calypso
Chorus
