Sometimes you have to make the best out of a bad situation and find something to laugh about.

And sometimes a very serious tings afta Happen sometimes in order for one fi no one himself And even know his majesty
Sometimes serious events happen to make us learn more about ourselves and understand the power of His Majesty.

Mi a tell yuh seh de other night I was having a reasoning with a elder ras bredren of mine, Yuh know
The other night, I was talking to an older Rasta friend of mine and having a deep conversation.

Mi a tell rasta I love the water drop I suck it And I know the dat de gwine love too
I told my Rasta friend that I love the taste of water and I'm sure that nature loves it too.

De bredren a tell I say every week Him use to go to the barber fi haffi a hair cut
My friend told me that he used to go to the barber every week for a haircut.

And cutting him hair start to get scared Can hear de barber talk to himself and deh pon mi nah do it Mi seh mi nah do it sir Mi nuh business where mi seh mi nah do it
While getting his haircut, he suddenly became scared when he heard the barber talking to himself, saying he won't do something. The customer refused to do it and told the barber off.

Same same say to the barber say, barber where is the nah go Him say de barber reply and say to his bredren Cann no know seh de devil a tell I a boast chut like a goat
He asked the barber where he was going and the barber apparently replied that he doesn't know because the devil was tempting him to act like a foolish goat.

De man say him fly out the barber chair And speed and took up with high speed like a bullet And make a vow and to himself and his majesty And say never again will he mek a scissors come pon him head
The man got so scared that he flew out of the barber chair and vowed never to let scissors touch his head again.

Now a come and even a reason with him beard rasta Mi a tell I seh love de water drop I suck it rasta Mi a tell I say another ras bredren was there man Mi a tell I say the bredren love till Him bed a go look like a him out of ball The man a have a ball stick to him fly in a chuk nearly chuk him And that she did dung a mi a tell I say she intraveal of child Brought nearly the same place
I also talked to a bearded Rasta who loves water and another Rasta who had his bed so full of stuff that it looks like a ball. He had a ball stuck to him and nearly got hit by a woman who was carrying a baby.

De natty say who no can scare their love I give thanks in life Because it was the only the week after that I hear that the same barber boast some chut like a goat And at the body never get believe Mi give thanks and to his majesty Nah give thanks in life So I and I have much to give thanks fah
The Rasta said that no one can scare their love and that he's grateful to be alive because the next week, he heard that the same barber was acting foolish like a goat and nobody believed him. He gives thanks to His Majesty for keeping him safe.

Dem say that the barber was really a good man But what has really took place
They say that the barber was actually a good man but something terrible happened.

Dem say the barber came home early one evening to him house And pushing him bedroom do him sight a man With a big back and broad like a silver Ticks making love to heamp man And from that is like leaking him brain And drive him insane
They say that the barber came home early one evening and saw a man with a big, broad back making love to another man. This sight drove him insane and broke his mind.

Mi a tell you I say while get the barber talk to himself And deh pon Seh boss scared the man back broad Seh boss scared the man back broad Is like the broad back business leaking him brain And drive him insane rasta
I heard that the barber kept talking to himself and saying 'The boss scared the man with the broad back.' It was like the sight of the man's broad back leaking his brain and driving him insane.

Mi a tell you I say sometimes mi haffi take bad tings mek love And sometimes a very stranger And dangerous tings afta happen in order For one fi no one himself And even know his majesty
Sometimes we have to turn bad situations into a way to spread love. Sometimes strange and dangerous things happen to teach us more about ourselves and to understand the power of His Majesty.
