Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some bwoy say dem a roll deep (fools)
Dem hol' deep (pain mi heart)
A me say down to the minute
Some bwoy say dem a roll high (yeah)
Been a stroll by (me worried)
A me a say, Don (yeah)
You know we rated as number one (easily)
Inna mi Karl Kani with a bottle of tall Canei
Tough a lie? Spliff a light spliff suh 'til me high
Cork a fly, crate a Guinness pile up inna the sky
Woman a watch me like a spy, Kartel no shy guy
Me nah go lie
Gyal dem say dem wan' mi bonafide
Dem get high, driving inna the 320i
Inna July, the pressure pon the pussy me apply
And inna April baby a cry
Tell dem
This a the new millennium, a different ting a gwan
Marshall and Kartel a go create a storm
And when you see us in the club or see us on the lawn
A just the pressure we apply, we a go turn it on
This a the new millennium, a different ting a gwan
Marshall and Kartel a go create a storm
And when you see us in the club or see us on the lawn
A just the pressure we apply, we a go turn it on
The man dem say cold Guinness or hot Guinness, but me no business
Weed me have wrap up like file paper inna Wrigley's
Souls a play, woman a stray, that a fi mi business
Gyal a brace fi sum'n 'til it big like the West Indies
Pelpa time, gyal a bruk out (wah?) Like diseases
She a do what she pleases, yo, a the vibes, the gyal a no leaches
If a batty man inna the dance, him a go buss inna twenty pieces
Cah me new releases a no fi man weh deh inna the feces
Tell dem
This a the new millennium, a different ting a gwan
Marshall and Kartel a go create a storm
And when you see us in the club or see us on the lawn
A just the pressure we apply, we a go turn it on
This a the new millennium, a different ting a gwan
Marshall and Kartel a go create a storm
And when you see us in the club or see us on the lawn
A just the pressure we apply, we a go turn it on (alright)
Five-o can't come lock it off
So if dance deh pon the road, block it off
If a weed, slap it off, if a gun, pop it off
Dem search and can't find, everybody laugh
Yo, liquor sell off, not a bottle with a cork
Promoter and him friend dem a laugh, how dem laugh?
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
How dem laugh?

The lyrics of "New Millenium" by Vybz Kartel and Wayne Marshall describe the lavish and carefree lifestyle of these two successful Jamaican musicians. They paint vivid images of themselves smoking weed and drinking alcohol, with crates of Guinness piling up in the sky. The chorus talks about how the new millennium is different, and how they are going to create a storm wherever they go. The references to pressure in the lyrics suggest that they apply pressure in everything they do, whether it's driving their 320i with the ladies or creating music that leaves an impact.
The ad-libs in Jamaican Creole are peppered throughout the song, adding a sense of authenticity to the lyrics by incorporating the colloquial language of Jamaica. Phrases like "so till mi high" and "Pelpa time" are unique to Jamaican Creole, bringing a local flavor to the song. The verses are filled with references to women, sex, and the luxurious lifestyle of two very successful musicians.
The song is a great representation of the dancehall genre, a style of music that originated in Jamaica in the late 1970s. It is characterized by its fast-paced, upbeat rhythms and lyrics that address social and political issues in Jamaica. Vybz Kartel and Wayne Marshall are two of the most popular dancehall artists, and "New Millenium" is a testament to their lyrical skills and ability to create catchy hooks and beats.
