Just tell dem sey mi nah sucky ducky

CHORUS
The song "Sucky Ducky" by Mr Vegas is a bold declaration against superficiality and materialism. The chorus starts with a refusal to compromise one's personal values for the sake of brand names. The artist declares that they have to work hard for the money they spend and that they will not associate with those who only come around when they have money. The verse goes on to talk about the artist's responsibilities towards their family and their community, as they try to give back through charitable work.
The song is a commentary on the shallow nature of some relationships, where people are only interested in associating with others for their wealth or status. The artist is proud to maintain their integrity and not be swayed by these superficial people, who are described as being worse than low Jezebels. The lyrics emphasize the importance of hard work and dedication in achieving success, rather than relying on shortcuts or exploitative relationships.
Overall, "Sucky Ducky" is a powerful statement against the materialistic values that can corrode society, and a call for people to prioritize their relationships based on respect and mutual support rather than wealth or status.
