Trouble Start

You ever realise that wherever you go it always have a confusion maker
– a Mr. or Mrs. ‘Mauvais Langue’
You tell dem something for dey own good and dey run back an’ tell – ASS!
You see how ting does start.
Dem kind dar does twis’ roun’ everything an’ see an’ hear conveniently
Yes you know the kind
Dey does only play nice.
Tell dem someting an’ the whole story change – everybody watchin’ yuh cut-eye.
Trouble take yuh, yes.
Have everybody shoo shooing behind your back an’ infront yuh face.
Afterwards is your fault an’ everybody blame you.
Everybody vex an’ not talking to you
Why? Because you want to play nice an’ tell people ting
No, you name saviour, an’ look – yuh bury yerself now.
Is not to tell anybody anyting
Doh trus’ nobody
‘Cause is when yuh start to trus’ people is den trouble does start.
