Verse
1
Music is there, in
the atmosphere
It’s been there, since the dawn of time
Regal and bold or timid and cold
Or sweet like ah fine fine wine
It can get in your system,
It can get in your mind
Harmonies, melody or rhythm
It’s all there by design.
Chorus
But when steel talks,
every body listens
Let it saturate your brain
Ah know when yuh hear it,
You will know the deal
And you’ll know that my steel is real
You will be in trouble,
When dey start to grumble
When them basses rumble,
Right down to yah heel
But nothing will matter
You’ll dance creep or walk
But yah all move when yuh hear my steel
Jump when when yah hear my steel
Dance when yuh hear my steel talk
Verse
2
Brass, reeds and woodwinds,
Have been there forever
I’ll never diminish their worth
Steinways and harps,
I respect their
measure
NO derision, it’s not meant to hurt
But steel is the language I’m used to
I love the chatter, it’s talk
I’ve grown up with it from an infant
Even before ah could walk.
Chorus

Verse
3
It can roar like ah
lion,
As quiet as ah church mouse
It’s up to the panman you see
No limitation, no restrictions,
It will be here for the rest of eternity
So respect to all you panmen
Godspeed wherever you go
Remember its origin
TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO.
