What Is Slackness - Lady Saw

Want to know what slackness is?

I’ll be a witness to that, unu come offa mi back

A whole heap a things out there waan deal wid and unu nah see that

Watch me now

Mi seh

Society a blame Lady Saw fi di system dem create

When culture did a clap dem never let me through di gate, now

As me seh «sex» den waan fi jump pon mi case

But pick di beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi face

Slackness is when the road waan fi fix

Slackness, when government break dem promise

Slackness, when politician issue out guns

So di two party a shot dem one another down

A syndicate of man waan fi flop mi career, saying

«Lady Saw a lead di people dem astray»

What happen to the nude beach we have inna Mo' Bay

And we own Sunday show that is promoting gay?

Dem a blame Lady Saw fi di system dem create

When culture did a clap dem never let me through di gate, now

As mi seh «sex» dem waan fi jump pon mi case

Pick di beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi…

When you say «slack»

Don’t point yuh finger at me

Government seh «Education, it is always di key», but

Tell me now, how di hell could it be

When di poorer class of people cya find di school fee?

Light bill, dem waan raise it to a hundred percent

Mi poor grand-mamma, she cya pay har rent

Know mi a deejay fi help her situation

But to how dem a flex, dem waan stop mi from nyam

Dem a blame Lady Saw fi di system dem create

When culture did a clap dem never let me through di gate, now

As mi seh «sex» dem waan fi jump pon mi case

Pick di beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi face

Ban people?

Trust me, dem wrong

Di only ban mi can get must be my wedding ban'

Remember dis, I’m a born Jamaican

And no matta how dem try mi nuh lef mi island

Dem a blame Lady Saw fi di system dem create

When culture did a clap dem never let me through di gate, now

As mi seh «sex» dem waan fi jump pon mi case

Pick di beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi…

Dem seh mi slack, but it’s a double standard ting

Slackness mek nuff man gone a farrin

International, a green dollars dem a bring

But true mi nah bring enough dem tek set inna mi skin

Dem a blame Lady Saw fi di system dem create

When culture did a clap dem never let me through di gate, now

As mi seh «sex» dem waan fi jump pon mi case

But pick di beam out of your eye before you chat inna mi face

Slackness is when the road waan fi fix

Slackness, when government break dem promise

Slackness, when politician issue out guns
