lyrics

You hear them talkin‘ bout you...
chattin‘ all over the place
talkin‘ bout you...
but then dem smile ina yuh face
talkin‘ bout you...
they come and tell you seh yuh great
Talkin‘ bout you... but then dem mind it full a hate

Hear dem a chat, dem a chat wid dem mouth full a crap
and it come in like dem neva coulda stop
Seet deh she hot and him fat, ugly like a rat
bare stories dem a tell wid no plot
dis is not a bout facts - rumours dem a fire like shots
killin‘ di vibe like a hunter kill a fox
see dem a spread out and annoy like a swarm full a
wasps in search fi di money and di rocks - ey!
Mi affi wonder bout di people dem
whe spread lies morning to evening
it‘s the need for greed that is feeding dem
their personal advantage dem seeking then
lacking self confidence just beating dem
and if you deh pon top dem waan be yuh friend
but when you hold a proper reasoning
you gwaan seet then
dem fake like maggi seasoning

You hear them talkin‘ bout you...
chattin‘ all over the place
talkin‘ bout you...
but then dem smile ina yuh face
talkin‘ bout you...
they come and tell you seh yuh great
Talkin‘ bout you... but then dem mind it full a hate

I know you‘re just a soul crying for help
compensating it with the stories that you tell
but if you don‘t learn to keep things for yourself
people will realize and then make your life hell
So fyah man a blaze pon dem
music a mi weapon so mi affi fling
di treble and di bass pon dem
based on di way dem behave and whe dem seh
you coulda sure seh dem neva pass di age of ten
mi have a rage pon dem cah fi reach a certain stage
dem a play dem likkle play and keep di place haunted
don‘t you see what is going on?

You hear them talkin‘ bout you...
chattin‘ all over the place
talkin‘ bout you...
but then dem smile ina yuh face
talkin‘ bout you...
they come and tell you seh yuh great
Talkin‘ bout you... but then dem mind it full a hate

Your mouth ago put you ina problems
So tell mi how you ago solve dem?
You better be careful who you par wid...

about

Bassplate Records Bologna, Italy

Sound system and reggae fanatics from long time, we started Bassplate Records because we felt the need to try to leave some music that can pass the test of time, positive music that everybody can listen and dance to, music intended to be heard on sound system, as reggae music is meant to be.

Enjoy it loud!
