Listen closely to the lyrics

When you listen to music with earphones, it allows you to hear the words more clearly. When you listen, really listen closely to the lyrics, you will probably see how music can influence behaviour and life.

Everybody knows that Beenie Man is very anti-oral sex, even though the mother of his child, former Dancehall Queen Carlene (who needs to go back to the figure that she had then!) say is not true.....him did 'bow'.

So in his lyrics, the same beliefs are echoed through these words in "King of the Dancehall" from the BAck to Basics album which I bought....

Me stand up and dweet, nuh bow down and taste
and
She fi know di sex limit stop at 68

Then he is anti-gay, so we get these words....

Me nuh batman. After me nuh Robin ('s) guy

The classic though was this. After listening to this song a gazillion times, I finally really listened and understood what 'implement' he was talking about here....

She tell eveybody how she tear up di sheet
"yuh tink a toe nail?" (a guy asks him this question in the song)
A di sitten weh go 'skee skee skee skee skeet'

So listen closely to your favourite song and see what message it's sending out.

PS. IF I NEED TO EXPLAIN THE LYRICS QUOTED ABOVE, YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO BE READING THIS SITE.

IF YOU DIDN'T NEED ANY EXPLANATION THE FIRST TIME YOU HEARD THESE LYRICS, AND YOU ARE UNDER 21, THEN I NEED TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOUR MAMA!

Wow but what is the big deal with bowing? I don't get it.

It's a jamaican macho thing. Whereas I remember when I went to school with other Caribbean people, it was said that Trinidadian men are great bowers....I ent know whether dat is true or not!
