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.
There I Go
Collie Buddz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going through my mind
Pull up every year and hits you different every time
Surfing through the faces, wasting memories, getting high
Living in the fast life
Aye, yow
Taking every moment and let it ride
Head up in the clouds like Lucy in the sky
I'm where I wanna be tonight
So if you ain't got plans in mind
Meet me at the Bowling Fire
And throw your hands up in the sky
We can let the good times roll
β²Cause there I go
Skankinβ² to the Sunrise
Leaving all the bad vibes
Slipping away
There I go
Guess we on the other side
Ready from our sad time
On my way
There I go
I'm leaving, gotta see me
Believe me, itβ²s easy
I got every reason to stay
There I go
Skankin' to the Sunrise
Leaving all the bad vibes
Slipping away
No more excuses
Yeah, we gonna do this
The moment at, we going up
Whoβ²s gonna go with
Blow it up and take it in
Blow it up, now let's begin
Keep the fire burninβ² and burnin' 'till we get in
Every moment, every verse and every line
When the music hit you, everything gonna be alright
So pass the Dutchie pon the left hand side
Collie Roots is where we at tonight
β²Cause there I go
Skankinβ² to the Sunrise
Leaving all the bad vibes
Slipping away
There I go
Guess we on the other side
Ready from our sad time
On my way
There I go
I'm leaving, gotta see me
Believe me, itβ²s easy
I got every reason to stay
There I go
Skankin' to the Sunrise
Leaving all the bad vibes
Slipping away
So if you ainβ²t got plans in mind
Meet me at the Bowling Fire
And throw your hands up in the sky
We can let the good times roll
'Cause there I go
Skankinβ² to the Sunrise
Leaving all the bad vibes
Slipping away
There I go

The lyrics of "There I Go" by Collie Buddz are about living in the fast life, trying to enjoy every moment, and leaving the bad vibes behind. The first verse describes the process of memories that come back every year but in different ways, surfing through different faces, wasting memories and getting high. However, the overall theme of the song is about leaving the negative parts of life behind and heading towards the good times. The chorus emphasizes how the singer is "skankin' to the sunrise, leaving all the bad vibes slip away," indicating an escape from the negative emotions that have been holding the singer down. The second verse reinforces this idea, talking about how there are "no more excuses" and how the singer is "leaving, gotta see me," as if saying that it's time to face reality and move forward.
Overall, the song is about pushing past the bad and enjoying the good in life. The lyrics are optimistic and emphasize the idea of taking control of your life and moving forward. The song invites listeners to join in and "meet at the Bowling Fire" to "let the good times roll." It's a celebration of life and a reminder to enjoy every moment.
