I want to tell you a story.

And this story na about my own very very self

When I be want to leave my parents

Na music go be my work."

My papa tell me "no, my pikin. Music i no good."

He say "musicians they no deh get better money."

He say "musicians, they no deh marry."

He say "when musicians get small mony, women go tchop'am all."

Na'im I say "ah ah. This women they deh force musicians ? Or they say musicians no marry ? It is surprise me."

The next thing when I do be say I run !

I go join musicians.

After three months, I send my papa

Big big mony !

Ahaaa. They deh wonder.

After one year, I go home

I tell my papa seh "papa, I want to marry."
