Bridgetown General / Kill The Elephant

I been up more than i been down

I been lost for a while finally i been found

And they can try but they cant take my crown

Cause when i say bridge everybody say town

My life a movie

Glory be to god cause i know hes working thru me

Still remember everything they try fi do me

How can i forget the pussy really try fi sue me

I kept it moving

I made that money back and put it on some jewelry

So fuck whoever try fi judge me like a jury

Pay dem no mind cause me know God watch over me

And me no need no prize money

Dont need no credit from the industry

Still a give them new style fi dem try copy

No matter how you try you still cant be like me

And me dont need no round of applause

I been through hell and them no know the half

Cant believe them try fi cancel me dawg

I been up more than i been down

I been lost for a while finally i been found

And they can try but they cant take my crown

Cause when i say bridge everybody say town

A which boy call me vulture?

Like dem no know me woulda die for the culture

From me say Obeah Me me lock up any function

Lagos to Kingston go straight back to London

Dem bwoy deh nah no structure

Close minded yute him need a brain fracture

I guess im too good for this evil world

Thats why my heart turn cold not even bullet cant puncture

So tell me why them hate me?

Somebody tell me why them hate me so

Me show love to everybody anywhere me go

Them must be tired hear me singing pon them radio

But ask your girl who her favourite is

If a nuh Dudu or me i dont know who it is

See them a plan fi see me fall down pon me knees

But if me ever stop sing then who go run the biz

Honestly

Who gon give you songs for more than 10 years

Who gon make you face all your deepest fears

Who go make you cry who gon make you shed tears

Imtoo advanced yah go catch it in a hundred years

Dont see nobody that could ever come and take my place

So when i die you better cut off your ears

I get it

We only hate what we nuh understand

Them never seen so much soul inside a white man

So fuck it, carry me go station

But god alone fi judge me me nuh answer to no man

We nuh answer to no yute

Brainwashed you cant tell lies from the truth

This a nuh lyrics a nuh money this is food

Guess i had to kil the elephant inna the room

Heavy on it's lonely at the top dawg

Heavy on the rum make sure you fill it up and don't be scared to put some more on top

I need a drink I'm gonna face my fears

I need to say some things that I've been holding back for more than 10 years

This industry in debt to me

Competition dead to me

Man all these artists come and go they get one song then rise and fall still end up looking up to me

I'm everything they mada wanted them to be

I said, put in the work i had to run so they could walk

Been counted out so many times but kept on coming back

Try sell me out so many times wish you could see the scars

Me nuh fall under pressure and we no bend fi no awards I

Born in Lisbon my dreams ain't got no residence

Them tell you be yourself but don't you ever dare be different

Gwaan like me a the problem somebody make that make some fucking sense

War over Gaza and they want jail me fi me accent

They don't like me but me necessary

They don't like it when you're fearless and you step outta the ordinary

I get it, pleasing everybody scary but only one of us is living life and we both going cemetery

We both haffi face the judgement when the time comes

Judge me by the fruits of all my labour when my time done

God i was hiding from my purpose but me stop run

I'm stretching out my hands to you im proud to say I'm God's son

Im proud i hit the studio when i was feeling down

Proud i took my time, put in work and kept my head down

I'm proud i never took my two feet off the ground

I'm proud of me I'm proud of all of you I'm proud to say I'm Bridgetown

Im proud they tried to buy my soul and i turned that offer down

Im proud i never dropped my head I'm proud i never let myself down

Me born a king and me nuh need no crown

And every door them try fi lock we ago kick that motherfucka down
