Chat a bag a things, chat a bag a things
Love chat
Chat a bag a things, chat a bag a things
Bad-mind
Chat a bag a things, chat a bag a things
Cyaa hold me down
Chat a bag a things, chat a bag a things
Love chat
Chat a bag a things, chat a bag a things
Bad-mind
Chat a bag a things, chat a bag a things
Cyaa hold me down

Mi go tek unuh pon a likkle bus ride
First stop, oh gosh!
Wi deh a the plaza
True mi do suh wid Jahmiel dem seh mi nuh rate teacher
Rate Gully, Vendetta, Unruly and Gaza
None nuh bigger than music
Gyal go suck unuh mother
Next stop wid the sound a mi tracks
Seh mi using auto tone
You ever hear mi voice crack
Wait deh, a matter a fact
Unuh fi a write like how a hot song unuh a lock

Chat a bag a things, chat a bag a things

Let off a next one fresher than spring water pon the land
It take time fi the perfection
And mi craft young woman soon turn 21
Suh nuh come treat mi like mi deh yah as a veteran

Overall Meaning

The song "Chatterbox" by Shenseea is a bold self-expression against the negative voices that surround her. The lyrics suggest that people talk a lot of things about her - both good and bad, and she is not affected by them. She goes on to describe some of the rumours people have been spreading about her in public. The first line is perhaps a metaphor for this - she likens people's constant chatter to being taken on a bus ride. However, regardless of what they say or how much they talk, she won't be held down or silenced. The last verse speaks out against the issue of colorism, as she reminds listeners that there is no difference between people's worth based on their skin color.


The song signifies the artist's self-confidence, independence and determination to succeed in the music industry, regardless of the negative voices that surround her. Shenseea makes a bold statement that it doesn't matter what people say about her, as her self-worth is not measured by it. The song celebrates the freedom to express oneself while disregarding societal prejudices and negativity.
