Answer to Your Name |
| Like to tell you a story about a girl I know |
| Or should I say a girl I used to know |
| 1971 inna England |
| Fresh off the plane to my dame inna Brixton |
| No, she never ask 'bout flight |
| Two month now no telegram write |
| Hey, she send taxi fi I |
| She gone a some house party tonight |
| So call me artical like |
| Make a few call get a couple invite |
| Inna the place me gone |
| Never leff Yard from the day me born |
| Right up front who me staring pon |
| You can tell say a she by the way she gwaan |
| Christine, Christina, Crystal |
| Try all a dem and she still never respond |
| Understand, catch a pree from a distance |
| Man hand gone inna pants fi a six-pance |
| Whoa! |
| Tuff guys beside her |
| She naa reply when I say hi to her |
| So dem go try bring violence in the parr |
| Need I remind these kind that I nuh war |
| So me turn fi walk away |
| But a likkle voice in my head start talk to me |
| Tell me walk right pass her |
| To the sound, take the mic and ask her |
| Girl! |
| Why don’t you answer to your name? |
| Girl! |
| Why don’t you answer to your name? |
| And girl I know you see me |
| And you know I see you too |
| So what is it gonna be |
| Tell me what you wanna do |
| What’s with this great mystery |
| After all that we been through |
| Now you’re refusing to look my way, eh |
| My likkle darling |
| Know she stay so from morning |
| Where she grew was appalling |
| Want fi make it right so she take the flight |
| Heard the city lights calling |
| From the day she been crawling |
| All she hear bout is foreign |
| Say we a keep the link |
| Now wah me fi think see the plans dem sinking |
| Deep, new year reach |
| Accent gone pon all part a you speech |
| Don Gorgon dem u waa fi go meet |
| Like she be the real topanaris a street |
| Please, watch how me calmness a do it |
| Naa bat a lid, as a morning I leave |
| But how me fi walk right pass you miss |
| Haffi look inna you eye and ask you this |
| Girl! |
