Likkle Longa

[This chorus was inspired by Buju Banton’s Hush Baby Hush. Honestly, I wasn’t confident in the Patois, so I quietly released this one. It grows on you for sure. Speaking of which, both this song and Buju’s are somewhat connected to sexual prowess. I contain that theme to the chorus for Likkle Longa, but I thought the cultural connection was important to shout out.]

(oh won’t you stay)

(just a little bit longer)

[Basically, I’m saying that girls don’t want me to leave when I go to visit. They want me stay “Likkle Longa” as in “ A Little Longer.” The girls love me and I love them too ;) Furthermore! I’m a skinny dude, but (IYKYK) skinny dudes stay strapped with anacondas.]

woooy

See it now, take ya hands 

An raise

[I don’t speak Patois YET, but I intended for this to be like “Put ya hands in the air. Go on, I’ll wait…” as a sort of call to action.]

[For those who don’t know, let’s tell them what’s good.]

[I unite people with my music. Sometimes I’m a little dirty-minded, but I’m pure of heart.]

[I’m talking about my ex. Always judging smh.]

But me sekkle down fi mek a good ting last

[Sekkle = Settle, like how Likkle = Little. Heavy on the settle lol. I did settle from my hoeing ways to put effort into the relationship. I thought it was worth it at the time.]

No hard feelings babygirl, Me had a blast 

Maybe now yuh say ya can relax?

[Shorty said she was tense through the whole relationship but didn’t know how to bring it up without putting me off. I had no clue lol I thought I was killing it. Then it was my fault I wasn’t doing better. Idk dude, feedback coulda helped us both out but thems the breaks.]
