Greetings!
With the backative of a double timed drum line and a swift
synthesized riff, Romain Virgo
wastes no time getting to the message every youth must know: the system is not designed to make you
succeed, but so long as you have Jah, you’ll be fine.
In today’s Dancehall arena, artists and fans keep dwelling
on the ‘badmind’ element and the ‘fake friends’ element, but who’s reminding
the people about the traps and barriers designed to not allow us to succeed? Romain Virgo is! Listen to the artist: “some deh near / some come from far / waan
tek we life / want fih give we scar / waan see we head roll out pon tar / dem nuh
want the youths tun superstar / but ah Jah Jah over all tings / all tings / dih
enemy will never prevail….” KA-BOOM …
and you need to hear the rest of the lyrics!
Without apology, Romain Virgo gives it to us straight; they
don’t want us to turn Superstar. If an
award could be given for powerful lyrics in a chune, this would be the leading
candidate. For those of you who don’t
play Dancehall, this chune is your exception to that rule! I can’t say it enough … don’t sleep, pause or
blink on this chune and please don’t say I didn’t tell you!
