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! |
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 |
And I know you know what I’m talking about |
Girl see you in the crowd and act like she don’t know |
But me naa take no stylin', no punkin' or no joke |
