WEY YUH THINK?
By Chucky Gordon

Wey yuh think? Wey yuh think?
Wey yuh think? Wey yuh think?

Allyuh really don't know what it is to be a Prime Minister
Pressure for so, is pressure for so!
Always on the go, trying to keep things together
Is pressure for so, is pressure or so!
Allyuh feel this thing is a big, big joke
In getting a coalition to work
And you know when we people under stress and strain
You doh see we crying in the rain
But we would call some friends together and bring out a flask
So why allyuh say we PM can't knock a glass?

'Cause everyday she have to hear something gone wrong
Why you must say she can't have anything strong?
Always on call, with plenty papers to go through
Man, after all, the lady PM is folks too.
Is several meetings she skips as around the world she zips
With plenty overseas trips, you would think she deserves some sips?
Wey yuh think?

Wey yuh think with she government on the brink, the Partnership ready to sink?
I think she deserves a drink
Wey yuh think? Hah! Wey yuh think? Hey! Wey yuh think?
Oh, you tell me?
Wey yuh think?
I wanna know, I wanna know [Wey yuh think?]

A set of wayward men she have to keep in a straight line
Is pressure for so, is pressure for so!
Most of them done bend but she smiling as if all is fine
Pressure for so, is pressure for so!
And when the COP faction start to vent
She does get really frighten for she government
So when tension rise up, tell me which Trini
Does run and calm he nerves with a cup of tea?
Day and night we Prime Minister find sheself under the gun
So you ent think she entitled to fire one?

'Cause everyday she have to hear something gone wrong
Why you must say she can't have anything strong?
Always on call, with plenty papers to go through
Man, after all, the lady PM is folks too.
Every Monday she have to face the AG looking to fight some case
Going off on a wild goose chase
You would think she deserves a taste?
Wey yuh think?

Wey yuh think when in she armour there is a kink
Them Range Rovers causing a stink?
I think she deserves a drink
Wey yuh think? Bacchanal!

Wey yuh think?
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know now
Wey yuh think? Tell me nah!
Wey yuh think? Ah! Wey yuh think? Kaiso!

Four elections she lost and the people calling for fresh mandate
Pressure for so, is pressure for so!
Her ship like an albatross as she struggling to navigate
Pressure for so, is pressure for so!
Say look, David take off he MSJ and and he gone
But when Jack leave it feel worse than a horn
So to keep this coalition from falling apart
This lady PM for sure has the art
After local government night, our lady PM real boast
So why to her success she can't lift a toast?

'Cause everyday she have to hear something gone wrong
So why you must say she can't have anything strong?
Always on call with plenty papers to go through
Man, after all, the lady PM is folks too.
She really deserve some support, look how many battles she fought
Even bring Panday to nought
Why they must hide 'way she petit quart?
Wey yuh think?

Wey yuh think, with she support starting to shrink
The people no longer hoodwinked?
I think she deserves a drink.

Wey yuh think? Ah! Madam Prime Minister, I really hope they understand you know. After all you are a Trini, right?

Ha! Wey yuh think?

Pressure for so, is pressure for so!
Pressure for so, is pressure for so!

 A Note From The Gull

Exarrrkly! Thank you, Chucky Gordon.  Whether you are judged to be a success or a failure at it, being a PM is one lonely, punishing wuk that I would never dream of seeking or accepting. So I hesitate to point fingers at those who do when they need to reach out for comfort/courage from whatever source.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
