LYRICSChorus
Some boy go
lose their gyal tonight,
Somebody go touch it for you
(Somebody go touch it)
Some boy go lose their gyal tonight,
Somebody go touch it for you
(Touch it for you)
You could
hold she close if yuh want to
(Hold she close if yuh want to)
She go give it to who she want to
(Give it to who she want to)
You could
buy her drinks if yuh want to
(Buy she drinks if yuh want to)
She go give it to who she want to
(My youth, yuh doh own it)
Verse 1
Stop gwan
like you have a tagana,
Yuh not the only man in the market
With banana
Stop gwan like a superhero
Like the Black Panther in Wakanda
Doh care if a next man jam on her
Take example from yuh fadder, na
He never kill yuh stepfadder, na
(‘Cause he know that)
Pre Chorus
(No gyal doh
wan’ no owner,
No owner, no owner) x 2

So when a next man intervene
Yuh want to vex like yuh gettin’ mad
Now another man creeping
Up inna de yard
You ah’ run him down like a da- (Ha)

Dexter “Blaxx” Stewart
Dexter John Stewart, better known as “Blaxx” was born December 21st, 1962.
Dexter started his musical journey at the tender age age of thirteen, where his father Jerry Stewart who fielded his own band called “Jerry and New School” molded him into what we see today.
Dexter then joined a very popular band called “Fucceccion” where he became “Blaxx” after a ten-year span. He then went on to join many other bands like “Atlantic”, “Byron Lee and the Dragonaires” and “Blue Ventures.”
He transitioned into
his stage name,
“Blaxx”, after a
decade with his
first band – a
moniker that was
born from his dark
brown skintone that
had often been a
source of contention
for his progress and
success in the the
industry.
In 1999 when the legend himself, Mr. Roy Cape approached “Blaxx” and asked him to join his family of musicians (Roy Cape All Stars). Mr. Blaxx honourably accepted - and the rest is history....To say the least “Blaxx” is one of the most versatile artists in the Soca today.
Out of the spotlight, Blaxx is a loving, caring family man. With his wife, he is a father to 5 beautiful children, a beloved member of his community and a cherished son and brother of Trinbago soil.
