Collie Buddz employs a style that is strongly rooted in 1990's era conscious and dancehall style reggae, using beats and vocal techniques reminiscent of the iconic stars of that day - including Sizzla, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer and Beenie Man. The singer has attributed the defining influences on his music to lyrical clashes (such as those between Beenie Man and Bounty Killer) and dubplates, particularly those of Kilimanjaro, that were core to the sound clash culture of the 90's.
Buddz is an avid fan of Buju Banton and cites that artist's "Mr. Mention" has one of his favorite albums.

Now she gone... (this way)
Gone, gone, gone (Don't you leave... me this way)
Now she gone...
Now she gone...
Boom, ey, yeah yeah
Weh mi seh?
No words cuda explain di pain
Dat mi feeling
You're forever on my brain
She got mi bleedin'
And di whole world to blame
Naturally tings could not remain di same
I hope you find a lot of nice things out there
Now the memory is all we share
I tell you again girl you know I care
You just let me know and I'll be there
Now it seems like only yesterday
Since you gone away
But den anotha day goes by
I neva meant to make you sad
Or ever treat you bad
I never wanted to see you cry
I should have been there for you
To see this through
The regrets always on my mind
Now it's too late for you
To turn around, oh girl
And see what you've left behind
Now she gone
No words cuda explain di pain
Dat mi feeling
You're forever on my brain
She got mi bleedin'
And di whole world to blame
Naturally tings could not remain di same
I hope you find a lot of nice things out there
Now the memory is all we share
I tell you again girl you know I care
You just let me know and I'll be there
If I could turn back the hands of time
I woulda say all the right things
Just to make sure you're mine
I'm blinded by the light
I couldn't see the sign
I took your love for granted
Thought we was fine
But now my mine is on you only
Oh it's so lonely
And now dat it's been so long
With no one to hold me
No one told me
Dat dis reality would hit soh strong
Now she gone
No words cuda explain di pain
Dat mi feeling
You're forever on my brain
She got mi bleedin'
And di whole world to blame
Naturally tings could not remain di same
I hope you find a lot of nice things out there
Now the memory is all we share
I tell you again girl you know I care
You just let me know and I'll be there
Now she gone
No words cuda explain di pain
Dat mi feeling
You're forever on my brain
She got mi bleedin'
And di whole world to blame
Naturally tings could not remain di same
I hope you find a lot of nice things out there
Now the memory is all we share

He starts off by mourning her departure and acknowledging the pain that he is feeling. He blames the whole world for the situation, implying that there is no one to blame but fate.

The chorus repeats, emphasizing the artist's pain and how it's hard for him to move on. He insists that he cares about her and that if she needs him, he will be there. In the second verse, he reminisces about the past and how he wishes that he had treated her better, hoping that he had said all the right things to keep her for himself. He admits that he was blinded by the light and took her love for granted, thinking that they were fine.
