Damian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dem ah ready fi come pull down mi Karl Kani
Oh, come on now tell me how can I
Love ah, one dat really don't deserve me?
Natural fi keep and natural preserve me
Me is ah boy, could get a whole heep ah girl, ya heard me
Many are called but only few deemed worthy
Spiritually balanced fi clean and purge me
Mentally advanced fi always urge me
Read couple books and challenge the clergy
Read a couple psalms up inna the morning early
Could you be so kind then show me a sign
I've been searching and it's so hard to find
Decent values with a decent wine
Decent jubee running it down the line
Maybe it's my mind, maybe I'm blind
Maybe it's the way that I've been spending my time
I'm still searching for a fine peace of mind
Decent jubee running it down the line
A little child has grown and he's got love on his mind
But what he'll never know a virtuous woman is hard to find
And dat's when she said she feels the pain
And she'll never fall in love again
So if you is a gal with whole heep of value
What a valuable nice and decent gal you
When I get you I'll be glad I got you
Then stand firmly inna your life like statue
Seen some old tings seen some young tings
Seen some little silly go and come tings
Seen some one night just for fun tings
What a indecent piece ah, some ting
Be so kind den show me a sign
I've been searching and it's so hard to find
Decent values with a decent wine
Decent jubee running it down the line
Maybe it's my mind, maybe I'm blind
Maybe it's the way that I've been spending my time
I'm still searching for a fine peace of mind
Decent jubee running it down the line
Some say that love is blind
But he keep saying, not this time
So all he need is love to keep his heart in line
But dat's when she said, "Lord I feel the pain"
And she'll never fall in love again
You have some gal ah, come 'pon man premises
And ah, fling up the ting that's between di knees
And ah, full up man head with false promises
Oh, dutty bungle please, couldn't want to run that
So fast wid ease been there dun that my main
Squeeze is natural, simply natural
Could you be so kind then show me a sign
I've been searching and it's so hard to find
Decent values with a decent wine
Decent jubee running it down the line
Maybe it's my mind, maybe I'm blind
Maybe it's the way that I've been spending my time
I'm still searching for a fine peace of mind
Decent jubee running it down the line
A little child has grown and he's got love on his mind
But what he'll never know a virtuous woman is hard to find
'Cause that's when she said she's feeling pain
It seems they have fallen in love again
That's when she said, "Lord I feel the pain"
And now they're standing in love again
So tell me ah, when price tag gone pon annany
Gal ah, love man for Benz and Ferrari
Little one eyed brethren weh name Omari
Couldn't get no loving since him start sell stary
Some girl in the twinkling of an eye
Dem ah ready fi come pull down mi Karl Kani
Oh, come on now tell me how can I
Love ah, one dat really don't deserve me?
In Damian Jr. Gong Marley's "Still Searching", the lyrics express the struggle of searching for true love and decency in a partner. The song highlights the singer's frustration with getting involved with girls who are not worthy of him, and his longing to find someone who is natural, spiritually balanced, mentally advanced, and respectable. Throughout the song, the singer talks about his desire for a virtuous woman who he can stand firmly with in his life.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's search for a decent jubee or partner who possesses genuine values, and is not just looking for materialistic things such as cars and money. The lyrics also express the difficulties of finding someone who truly loves and understands you. The feelings of pain and heartbreak are also referenced in the song as the singer acknowledges that sometimes love is blind and it can be hard to find a partner who is true.

But I refuse to settle for someone who doesn't meet my standards or values
So all he need is love to keep his heart in line
I just need a meaningful and genuine connection with a partner
And dat's when she said, "Lord I feel the pain"
However, with the wrong partner, I can still experience emotional pain
And now they're standing in love again
But with the right partner, I can experience true love and happiness
Tell me ah, when price tag gone pon annany
Can you truly love someone beyond their material possessions or status?
Gal ah, love man for Benz and Ferrari
Some women only love men for their cars or wealth
Little one eyed brethren weh name Omari

Couldn't get no loving since him start sell stary
But some people would only love him when he is successful or has fame

This song's badass and I love it. The Marley's are musically gifted. No surprise since Bob Marley's the greatest to ever perform and make music.
