LYRICS

Verse 1

Sixteen long years ah move to another shore
Away from friends and family
I couldn’t take de rat race an hour more
I had to chart ah new destiny

Naysayers say that one day
I will live to regret
Meh decision to make ah move
But at that age
I jes wanted to make ah change
Now de music and me
Living life all happy and free

Chorus

Everybody say dat I am ah madman
When I hearing pan I jes cannot stay calm
De music in meh head is it an addiction
Meh body and meh soul it bazodee
Tru de Caribbean it’s ah vibration
De culture ah you and me
Don’t take the side
Come join the ride
And jump with me coz
This is carnival

Chorus

Verse 2

In life we know there are always challenges
Life is just not a fantasy
Trials and tribulations will come your way
Confront and conquer in victory

Naysayers say that one day
I will live to regret
De decision to make ah move
But at that age
I jes wanted to rant and rave
Now de music and me
Living life all happy and free

Chorus

Verse 3

Now is de time for me to come out and play
Singin’ ah sweet pan melody
All dem long years I was in de wilderness
Ah planning ah long road to victory

Naysayers say that one day
I will live to regret
Meh decision to make ah move
But at that age
I jes wanted to sing and play
Now de music and me
Living life all happy and free

Chorus
