Ludi
Dream Warriors Lyrics

1 2 3 and..
The song is starting with a count to set the pace

Come come come again
Invitation to play and enjoy Ludi again

Ludi
Title of the song and the board game that could be played in any culture

Ludi oooh ludi
Rejoice moment in playing the game that brings people together

Hop me come on jah!
Trying to cheer and energize the team to continue playing well

My mother wanted me to make another song
The inspiration and motivation to create the song came from the artist's mother

Something brand new so she could dance to, too
A dedication to the artist's mother by presenting a new song that even she might dance to

So this one's dedicated to no other than my mother
Acknowledgment and tribute to the artist's mother who inspired him to produce this song

My father my sisters and my brother
A shout-out to the artist's immediate family members

Or you could say the families or better yet the families
Extending his tribute and addressing it to no particular family but to all the families who played Ludi

Or what a sec, what the heck, this one's for Jamaica
Greeting and appreciation for the origin of the Ludi game played in Jamaica

Africa
Mentioning the origin and roots of most Jamaican culture and festivities

Dominique
Countries or cultures where Ludi might have been influenced and integrated

Trindad and Tobago
Other Caribbean Islands where Ludi might have spread

St. Kitts, Bermuda

Antigua, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, and do not forget Muts land
Other Caribbean Islands where Ludi might have spread

Aruba, Grenada, Guyana and Cuba
Other Caribbean and South American countries where Ludi might have spread

St. Vincent, Angola, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Domincan Repoublic and Rio
Other islands and countries where Ludi might be known and enjoyed

Martinque and Guadalupe, and Virgin Islands, truly
Other Caribbean Islands where Ludi might have spread

Now that means to take you back to the top to start up again
Explaining the meaning of Rewind! in the context of restarting the song

And me and you are now friends
Establishing better rapport and friendship with the listeners

And my partner says I am very bombastic
Commenting on his style of music that he thinks is authentic and distinct

In rap but ask me I don't know what it means
A self-deprecating comment on the artist's lack of verbal communication or vocabulary

Well I don't communicate because the generation gap
Revealing that the artist thinks his age and lack of satisfaction with modern communication causes his inability to convey his thoughts

So mommy yuletide see! I'm just playin' ludi
Stating that rather than get involved in a debate or misunderstanding, he'd prefer playing Ludi with his mother

Hey are there other places than islands that play ludi?
Asking the listener about other countries or regions where Ludi could be played

Why dont you run it down for me. Alright
Requesting to be informed and clarifying it's okay to repeat it once again.

In Canada they playin' ludi
Acknowledgement that Ludi is being played in Canada too

In UK they playin' ludi
Acknowledgement that Ludi is being played in the UK too

Even up in New York they playin' ludi
Showing that Ludi is played in different cities and countries around the world

I say the USA they playin' ludi
Identifying that the USA is also one of the countries where Ludi is played

Even on broadway they playin' ludi
Highlighting Ludi's universal quality and inclusivity

The beatfactory, they playin' ludi
Mentioning another Ludi fanbase called The Beatfactory
