Sean Paul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're charged with possess in other people property
Yes, your honor

Say she don't want a clown

And I would never ever lead her a stray.

In the first verse of Sean Paul's "She Wanna Be Down," he tells the story of being charged with possessing someone else's property. He is guilty but wants to tell a story anyway. The story is about a girl who wants to be with him all the time and demands no one gets in her way. She doesn't want a clown and follows his lead, trusting Sean Paul never to lead her astray. He sings about their relationship and his sexual prowess when he says, "Me give her the broke back, Me give her the style / make the neck get crockback / Broke up to the workshop / Mash up everything pon all the shelf and work-not." Despite their intense relationship, he reminds the listeners that he only plays the "road" that is his grind.
The rest of the song is peppered with patois and sexual innuendos that make little sense in typical English. In essence, the song is about a girl who likes Sean Paul, and despite his other obligations, she is the one he wants. He wants everyone to know that women are his life, and he sings about giving them pleasure, satisfaction, and attention. He plays his "road," which is his music, his job, and his life, and she is welcome to come along.
