Verse 1

There is a cause for concern
Protect the art form, or it crash and burn
It’s true that steel bands don’t play mas
That shouldn’t mean, you have to be second class
Those big trucks will push you out the way
And the DJs, they have all the say
Its carnival, pan also have it part to play
Remember you played a crucial role, since carnival begun
So come back out and let’s have some fun

Chorus

Let me see the flag waving
Let me see the crowd jumping
Men and women jam and wining
Got to be a steel band coming
The music so sweet
People chipping in the street
Why should it come as a big shock?
Why should I be chasing a big truck?
I ain’t running no race
Steel band got the perfect pace

Verse 2

The same thing happens every year
After panorama you disappear
I would really be amiss
If I just sit here, and say nothing about this
It’s frustrating, just to find a band
All over town you can’t hear no pan
I’m a pan lover, I hope you understand
Here is a very simple plan, a separate route for pan
If you agree with me, just raise your hand

Chorus

Verse 3

Look what a sailor band did
Took it to the top and knocked off the lid
All stars won band of the year
It already got, those mas men shaking with fear
Use this as a perfect example
Don’t be afraid to go and sample
Just play mas, don’t be second class
Display the national instrument, and light up the pavement
And make a musical statement

Outtro

A lil dosage of nostalgia, ain’t so bad
When you hearing, just sweet pan, you must feel glad
That’s why we need a pan ministry
To preserve, this precious, industry
