SHADOW SON
By Sharlan Bailey

I do intend to raise hell. Hey!
Wha's mih name? Wait, well hear de jam now.

Lai dai lay dai, ah-boop skip lai dai
Lai dai lay dai, ah-boop skip lai dai
Lai dai lay dai, ah-boop skip lai dai
Lai dai lay dai, ah-boop skip lai dai

Sing it now!

Very soon they go fear it
But ah want dem to know dem who start it, yeah
Why you feel you could stress this one?
You ent seeing I is Shadow son?
Ah hard like banga, ah don't want you to wonder
Why you feel you could stress this one?
You ent seeing I is Shadow son?

Who am I? I'm Mister Bailey son
Every beat come together with precision
The father of all punks, tell the Pentagon
A walking pot of gold, tell the leprechauns
Is it mih blood line is the intention?
Or the fact ah doctor beats like a physician?
I want bass like a wave from a religion
Here comes another one like tradition.

Ah just can't fight it, ah got music falling off my eyelids
That's right, queen, I should be knighted or this journey is righted
I make yuh place go mad
Picking up points like a grocery card
And every way ah go, dey say this Rasta hard
Because I belong to the House of Music

And very soon they go fear it
But I want dem to know dem who start it, yeah.
Why you feel you could stress this one?
You ent seeing I is Shadow son?
Ah hard like banga, you don't have to wonder, I am telling you
Why you feel you could stress this one?
You ent seeing I is Shadow son?

Thanks for the support you gave to me
You love me like a roti shop on Divali
To all the haters, you are where you supposed to be
Googling, texting Who the hell is he?
Who the hell is me? ---- you know dam well
Mih flow like heaven and mih daddy is the king from hell
You know who I is since I touch the mike
Watch me good, I's what a genius looks like!

Some folks they get mad when they take dey pill
So they jump on a stage only talking kill
I'm ten percent human, ninety percent skill
And I possess the kind of talent you doh leave on will.
Some people riching, some people bitching
Some people kicksing, some artistes bitching
Some Road March fixing, some dj's mixing
I's the kind of artiste rock yuh block on a Cricks tin.

Lai dai lay dai, ah-boop skip lai dai
Lai dai lay dai, ah-boop skip lai dai
Lai dai lay dai, ah-boop skip lai dai
Lai dai lay dai, ah-boop skip lai dai

Ah very soon they go fear it
But I want dem to know dem who start it, yeah
Why you feel you could stress this one?
You ent seeing I is Shadow son?
I hard like banga, I doh want you to wonder
Why you feel you could stress this one?
You ent seeing I is Shadow son?

Up in mih ears and dey talking loud
Up in mih and dey talking proud
Only sending these chills up my spine
Never even hear dem compose one line
Never hear dem compose a melody
But they want to advise me?
I am musically sick
They used to beat me with music stick.

Ah very soon they go fear it
But I want dem to know dem who start it, yeah
Why you feel you could stress this one?
You ent seeing I is Shadow son?
Ah hard like banga, Ah don't want you to wonder
Why you feel you could stress this one?
You ent seeing I is Shadow son?
Ah very soon they go fear it
I want dem to know, I want dem to know
Why you feel you could stress this one?
You ent seeing I is Shadow son?
Ah hard like banga, Ah only come to remember
Why you feel you could stress this one
You ent seeing I is Shadow son?
