sine of the dub
May 4, 2010
Based on Prince’s Sign o’ The Times from 1987..
in france a skinny man
die of a big disease
w’a lickle name
by chance ‘im girlfriend
she find a needle
she end up the same way
backayard
17-years-old boy pickney
dem call themself The Disciples
high
an’ shootin’ a gun
hurricane annie rip out the ceiling
of the church
and kill
everybody
inside
turn on the TV
and all y’hear ’bout…
in september, my cousin buil’ up a big spliff
for the very first time
now he’s burning rocks - it’s june
an’ mi cyan un’erstand
when a rocket ship explode
yet everybody still wan’ fi fly
y’kno’ some people say
a man never truly ‘appy
unless a next man truly dies.
God me no kno’ why.
times, sir, it’s the times.
baby make a speech
star wars a-fly
neighbours just-a shine on
but if a night fall and a bomb falls
look ya,
nobody gonn’ see the dawn.
Times man, the times.
sign of the times
gonn’ mess with ya mind
better hurry before it’s too late
