Agent Sasco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whole bar buy off
Bay cork a fly off
Promoter smile
So put yo cup inna the air
Lift dem up inna the air
Caw the liquor deh inna yo head a buss and you no care
Champagne a spill like wi a ring the new year
More time wi just a sip a bear
()
But some a dem cyaa hold dem liquor
Cyaa control dem liquor
How you fi drink a ban cup and it a turn you over
Man low the liquor thing and gwaan go sip a soda
Because yo cyaa hold yo liquor
Nuff a dem cyaa control dem liquor

Put on a rounds fi the drinker dem
A nuff seh dem a drinker tell dem think again
Because dem drink a one baba, an a walk, an a stagga
A move like a drunky and a keep up a bag a
Fally and dem start move loose
If dem drink a cork a sirock
Or a que a grey goose
But big up to the drinker dem weh hold dem boos
Have the Hennessy a hose like cranberry juice
Nuff seh dem a drinker but mi lose
Cause dem a walk like seh macka deh inna dem shoes

Caw dem a blame it pon the alcohol like Jamie Fox
And wi never yet si dem buy a box

Mi just cool and a relax
All a who a support the bar big up to the max
Nuff a dem naw go love it but a fox
(Repeat)
(Repeat 1)
(Repeat)
