Vybz Kartel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Up to di sky, I told 'em it's Kartel (easily)
Don't drink and drive (why?)
Smoke and fly (huh, why not?)
Round 'til di hour, Cellblock (eeh)
I told 'em I never went to highschool (why you do that?)
But I went to school high (okay)
Timeless (you know)

First thing me do when me wake up
Bun high grade fi mi nerves first
Straight from West pon a town bus
Me haffi smoke a pound first
Send, send, send, send, send, send on
Send on and never hang on (send on)
Send, send, send, send, send, send on
Send on and never hang on

Me get high like a pedestal, heavenly and celestial
Extraterrestrial when me smoking up di cess-mial
Look it a sexy gyal, celebrate it like festival
Mix it like a cereal, sew it like material
Me deal with it like chicken, hot and spicy and original
Or barbecue, becah di crew a ganja man professional
Len-lenky get higher than di martians on Mars
Milky Way, galaxy stars, that's why you only get eight bars

First thing me do when me wake up
Bun high grade fi mi nerves first
Straight from West pon a town bus
Me haffi smoke a pound first
Send, send, send, send, send, send on
Send on and never hang on (send on)
Send, send, send, send, send, send on
Send on and never hang on

Me frass so 'til me use di green paper marked ten paper left
A no joke, yo, me smoke, yo, 'til vapor left
To how me high, when me look down a skyscraper deh
And don't try that at home 'cause you might break a neck
Feds wan' me and bug me phone, two way connect
Me change me number (to wah?), 1-800-collect
So when you see Cellblock inna di street smoking up di highest
A Gucci chain deh 'round di chest

First thing me do when me wake up
Bun high grade fi mi nerves first
Straight from West pon a town bus
Me haffi smoke a pound first
Send, send, send, send, send, send on
Send on and never hang on (send on)
Send, send, send, send, send, send on
Send on and never hang on

Singa Blinga say, "Kartel, a what time?"
Up 2 Di Time, me hear Singa talk, but me no matter time
Cah me have mi weed and me a look seven dollar coin
One fi buy di rizzla, six fi buy di cigarette
(Wah kind?) Craven A
But no bodda smoke it like di last time
Build yuh weed and blow it like when rev whistle fi half-time
Man deh pon di ends 'til 'bout twenty-seven past nine
And when me look up inna di sky, me see di sun a shine

First thing me do when me wake up
Bun high grade fi mi nerves first
Straight from West pon a town bus
Me haffi smoke a pound first
Send, send, send, send, send, send on
Send on and never hang on (send on)
Send, send, send, send, send, send on
Send on and never hang on

First thing me do when me wake up
Bun high grade fi mi nerves first
Straight from West pon a town bus
Me haffi smoke a pound first
Send, send, send, send, send, send on
Send on and never hang on (send on)
Send, send, send, send, send, send on
