My first single featuring some of my favorite musicians from Trinidad and Tobago. Daron Roberts on Drums| Charles MJ Ryan on Keyboards|, Theron Shaw on Guitar| and Joshua Richardson on Bass. This composition features Caribbean rhythmic influences fused with contemporary harmonic layers. I firmly believe in storytelling and it remains a part of my composition and arranging style.

Caribbean Man
composed by Leroy Calliste (Black Stalin)
 
You try with a federation,
The whole thing end in confusion
CARICOM and then CARIFTA
But somehow I smelling disaster
Mr West Indian politician, I mean you went to big institution
And how come you can’t unite seven million?
When a West Indian unity 
I know is very easy
If you only rap to your people and tell them like me

Dem is one race
From the same place
That make the same trip
On the same ship
So we must push one common intention
For a better life in the region
For we women and we children 
That must be the ambition of the Caribbean man
The Caribbean man, the Caribbean man  
 
You say that we federation
was imported quite from England
And now you going and form a CARIFTA
With a true West Indian flavour
But since CARIFTA started running
Morning, noon and night all I hearing
Is just money speech dem prime minister giving
But I say no set o’ money could form a unity
First of all your people need
their identity
 
Like one race
from the same place
That take the same trip
on the same ship
So we must push one common intention
For a better life in the region
For we woman and we children 
That must be the ambition of the Caribbean man
The Caribbean man, the Caribbean man
 
CARICOM is wasting time
The whole Caribbean gone blind
If we don’t know from where we coming
Then we can’t plan where we going
That’s why some want to be communists
Brother some want to be socialists
And one set of religions to add to the foolishness
Look a man who don’t know his history
Can’t form no unity
How could a man who don’t know his roots
Form his own ideology
 
That is one race
from the same place
that make the same trip
on the same ship
So we must push one common intention
For a better life in the region
For we women, and we children 
That must be the ambition of the Caribbean man
The Caribbean man, the Caribbean man
 
The Federation done dead
And CARIFTA going to bed
But the cult of the Rastafarian
Is spreading through the Caribbean
It have rastas now in Grenada
It have rastas now in St. Lucia
But to run CARIFTA yes, you getting pressure
 If the Rastafari movement spreading
And CARIFTA dying slow
Then is something that Rastas on
That the politicians don’t know
 
That’s there’s one race
 from the same place
that make the same trip
on the same ship
So they pushing one common intention
For a better life in the region
For they women, and they children 
That must be the ambition of the Caribbean man
The Caribbean man, the Caribbean man

Wait Dorothy Wait
composed by Leroy Calliste (Black Stalin)

1983 me fans beg for a favor
I decide to help them 
So I  write de soca
Last year dey come back
With a different story
They say they want something smutty
About Jean or Dorothy
Now on your fans you know your future depends
So i sit down to write this smut only to please them
But as i take up me pen
And meh piece of paper
And I write out the first verse
Listen what i remember
 
Oil money come, oil money go
Poor people remain on the pavement and ghetto
When Mr. Divider start to divide the bread equally
Ah goin’ and finish de whole damn calypso ‘bout Dorothy

How ah jam she, how she jam me
How we back back, and we roll back
But once my people keep fighting for an equal share of de cake
Wait Dorothy wait Dorothy wait

I take up de challenge just to prove to de lot
I decide to show dem I Stalin could write a smut
Bout this Dorothy woman who come down to de island
And wha happen in we bachee when we come out de steel band
Look I done hired two girls to put on some short ting
Was to come on stage and show how Dorothy winin’
But is a wrong thing ah doin’
So when I strike up de first note
Suppose Jah Jah punish me with a stroke in me one throat

Because de Ku Klux Klan office still in Alabama
And in Brixton, England my people still under pressure
Any time I see that South Africans are free
Ah goin’ and finish de whole damn calypso ‘bout Dorothy

How ah jam she, and she jam me
How we back back, and we roll back
But once my people keep fighting with so many children life at stake
Wait Dorothy wait Dorothy wait

Pass in to London, and you’re sure to hear it
Dey does call kaiso music rum music
Dey say all entertainers should be using their culture
To help the people plan for a better future
In this world today of nuclear and revolution 
De kaiso man still singing ‘bout rum and woman
But I just making sure that when dey running their big mouth
It ain’t Black Stalin music that they talking ‘bout

Because dem politicians still can’t form a federation
So much meeting dey holdin’, Caribbean people still suffering
Any time I see a true West Indian unity
Yes ah goin’ and finish de whole damn calypso ‘bout Dorothy

How she jam me, and ah jam she
How we back back, and we roll back
But once my people keep suffering with so many children life at stake
Wait Dorothy wait Dorothy wait

Four verse and chorus is too much ah lyrics
To sit down and write smut in this moment of crisis
Me head sayin’ ‘yes!’ but me heart sayin’ ‘no’
And I does follow me heart when it comes to writing kaiso
Now to all meh fans who want smut I’m very sorry
But me pleasure does always come second to me duty
And me duty is to make sure that my people life happy
And any time that happen we gonna jam down Dorothy

Because so much ah famine in Ethiopia
Assassinations have been going on in India
Any time ah doh have to live with dem frightful things around me
Yes ah goin’ and finish de whole damn calypso ‘bout Dorothy

How she jam me, and ah jam she 
How we back back, and we roll back
But once my people keep suffering for an equal share of de cake
Wait Dorothy wait Dorothy wait
