REAL TRINI
By Ozy Majic
Wey mih real Trinidadians, put yuh hands up in the air
Wey mih real Trinidadians, jump around like yuh just don't care
Wey mih real Trinibagonians, put yuh hands up, let me see
When yuh see we wave and we misbehave,
That's just the Trini in we!!
How do you know a true Trini?
He could tell you what’s a congoree
Stew and roti, betty goatie....
After 29 is 30
How yuh know a true Trinidadian?
Give we a dustbin, we making a steelpan
Flags, Stags, Caribs in we hand
A Trini plus a Trini is a ------ band....
Wey mih real Trinidadians, put yuh hands up in the air
Wey mih real Trinidadians, jump around like yuh just don't care
Wey mih real Trinibagonians, put yuh hands up, let me see
When yuh see we wave and we misbehave,
That's just the Trini in we!!
We does turn foreign to local
Anywhere we go we start a Carnival
Make a bacchanal...in any capital...
A Trini fete does make the others look like funeral
I am a Trinidad original
Eating pelau and I eating dahl
If yuh know that a Crix is vital
Two hands up like de dial!!
Wey mih real Trinidadians, put yuh hands up in the air
Wey mih real Trinidadians, jump around like yuh just don't care
Wey mih real Trinibagonians, put yuh hands up, let me see
When yuh see we wave and we misbehave,
That's just the Trini in we!!
From the T to the R to the I-N-I
Let me see de rags dem start to fly
From the B to the A to the go, go, go!
Let me see the rags them to and fro
From the east [east] to the west [west] from the north [north] to the south [south]
All about, all about, all about, all about, all about, all about!
Wey mih real Trinidadians, put yuh hands up in the air
Wey mih real Trinidadians, jump around like yuh just don't care
Wey mih real Trinibagonians, put yuh hands up, let me see
When yuh see we wave and we misbehave,
That's just the Trini in we!!
Some come by boat, some leave by plane
Some call Trinidad name in vain
Some come down once in a while like rain
Some say they never setting foot here again
In we twin island, a combination
I say dey they have no appreciation
This is the land of my creation
Where hurricane does change direction!!
Wey mih real Trinidadians, put yuh hands up in the air
Wey mih real Trinidadians, jump around like yuh just don't care
Wey mih real Trinibagonians, put yuh hands up, let me see
When yuh see we wave and we misbehave,
That's just the Trini in we!!...
