Love That Don't Change

Too Much Whiskey

This is for my music
Blessings for my music
It’s love for the music
Journey on my music

I’ve been doing this for seven years
I never make a dollar, never make a change I say
Naa go give up, naa go ever slow
You know say me a hold it down for seven more
I’ve been doing this for seven years
I never make a dollar, never make a change I say
Naa go give up, naa go ever slow
You know say me a hold it down for Evaflow

This is my seven year itch and then I’m coming home
My seven year itch and then I’m coming home
My seven year itch and then I’m coming home
My seven year itch, and now I’m coming home

Me mother send me go school for seventeen year
Me come out and turn DJ, it no seem fair
What you seeing here, this is a product
Of two college, one diploma, no degree
No know the meaning, out in this world and
Everything you learn inna the past 5 years, it naa go help you fi earn
nut’n
What’s the word cousin? You help your cousin
So every word that them heard me with worth sup’n
Every burden them hurl at me hurdle so flawless, dem naa listen
Mi a miss out pon lift up mi team
A watch Gong and Stephen Marley a live out the dream you know
But ‘Welcome to Jamrock’ did lift my feeling up
I listen it still, I listen it keen you know
Me decide say the music can meaningful
Take a look at my life and I clean it up
My herb customers calling me
But now my music demanding me
This is my Seven Year Itch

“Proto” to most, “Oje” to some
Call him “Diggy,” the only son, the sister young
Mommy legendary, ask around, ask fi a pound
And dem will tell you who did carry Macka a town
Ask Marshall, ask him, and if u get a glimpse a Sean Paul
Beg uunu ask him how it feel fi go three times plat
Then ask shaggy ‘cause him did move three times that
Me, no haffi feel like that
Just want retire to a seaside lot
Lef’ all the war and bring the peace right back
Never been in love until now, just just lost it wondering how
Mi woulda get through it, like customs with herb
And no mi no accustom to hurt but I got accustomed to her
And her, she accustom to me
Addicted to the thing weh addicted to she
Empress far and she calling me, but now my music demanding me
This is my Seven Year Itch

LYRICS:

Intro (Kabaka Pyramid):

Life is a journey you know?
And on this path I’n’I come to many realizations
the evolution of thought to creation, u know?

Verse 1:

I remember when mi first start to question life,
Age 7 ask questions why me de pon earth?
Is this my first or my second birth?
Or is it my third? Is that a number or is it a word?
Is life a noun or is it a verb?
Is there a god weh a listen every single word weh mi think?
And when mi see the color red is it the same to you?
Or maybe what you explain is blue to me
What you perceive is individually risen from the prison of the mind literally
And your senses form defenses against the entry of frequencies weh them sen fi
And the ones them weh out of them reach
You say dem doh exist but a dem one de mi seak, yea,
The preacher dem a preach, but in the end I teach myself to seek myself until the end of these
Dying days, I used to ask myself how?
But now I put the 'why' in place
Instead I cook the wheat I cook the rye in place
Fi put my third eye in place, yea

Chrous (Protoje):

And we've lost meaning
With all that's going on with the life we're leading
Cause all in all, great or small, this feeling
Knowing that we're blessed with the air we're breathing
Believe me

Verse 2 (Kabaka Pyramid):

I remember thinking if you born January how you one grade higher than someone weh born december before?
Dat nuh mek no sense when you check it out
The ones weh born december nuff nuh mek it out
The school system provide the tools fi true victims arrive while fixing the mind on rules
Three 6 a di sign dem choose
Chesse trix by design abuse the youths
Time a fly
Sometimes I feel I'm a fly, jus a
Pitch and a watch people sit on a clock from 9-5
Time just a fade away
till the day them family sing amazing grace
I heard that souls are made in space
Then them travel to earth
So the womb can unravel the birth
I search with a ravenous thirst, for someone to balance an merge with
But sometimes my manners desert me
Thoughts rambling example is this verse
But what the meaning?
As long as truth's been dispersed I'm cool with that
Some a burst oozies glocks, I choose fi Ras
Tunes keep the youths in tact
It's kinda funny, how I keep goin like the energizer bunny
Mi haffi memorize an study da verse ya
'Cause the message I'm delivering is truth
I confess with every synonym I use yea

Chorus (2x)

Outro (Kabaka Pyramid):

Yeah man, you know de time de when
You reflect pon life and wonder what’s the meaning…
So one a dem time…

Say them all have an argument
So I’m calm, I not harming them

And this girl is crying over me, dying over me, she wants me to know
This girl is holding on and she's bold enough to say she naa let me go
Next girl pree the scene and try intervene, what does she want me to do
Ex-girl keep sweating me, she naa set me free, she naa let me be

Me say me have a problem
Kinda no want fi have them
Yet mi kinda no want fi solve them
Woman I want fi have them in numbers, that’s plural
Whether uptown to rural
And not to say I can't settle down
Just trying to make u know I can’t settle now
I jussa make u know that I tried the monogamy
But I couldn’t take all a the naggin’ in ma noggin’ and

She say she kick sneakers off again
Her speakers on again
My CD is on again, gwaan again
Blunt no deh a yard again
You know she a order dem
No smoke with no other man other than
She say she better than all o’ dem
So me fi leff all o’ dem
and if me leff all o’ dem calling and
Coming over ma yard again and as it reach morning then
You know say dem gone again, argument

All have an argument
So I’m calm, I not harming them
Yet they all have an argument
