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 !
