‘Breakdown’

LYRICS

Verse 1
This year carnival
It go be real real Baccahnal
Everybody wants to win
East west north and south
Every steel band coming out
To see who is the best
Inside of this musical contest
But in this steel band land of mines
Yuh bound to wine and jam
Chipping to ah beat
Let the bass line move yuh feet

Chorus
We coming to breakdown
They come from all over town
We coming to jam down
Jump around and have fun
For carnival (breakdown)
Is baccahnal (breakdown)
On top the stage (breakdown)
People we go jump, jump, jump
And hear pan in ah rage
Breakdown, We coming to breakdown
We coming to jamdown
This music go break yuh down

Verse 2
This year on the stage
If yuh see people in ah rage
Everybody waiting for Pan
Breakdown the north stand
Now ah go mashup the Grand Stand
To capture the first place
Ma ma oye this is ah race
So when yuh feel like having fun
Come to this island in the sun
Loosen up yuh feet
Let yuh body feel the beat

Chorus

BRIDGE
Breakdown breakdown
Steelpan music break yuh down
On the stage in ah rage
If yuh cah play get off the stage
Breakdown breakdown
Steelpan music break yuh down
On the stage in ah rage
If yuh cah play get off the stage

Verse 3
This year for rama
Musical vengeance and thunder
Everybody now betting

To see what he would do
Or weather he go fall through
But in this steel band land of mines
Yuh have to wine and jam
Sweet pan is ah treat
Doh breakdown move yuh feet.
