lyrics

this is a
serious serious serious...
situation

him sweet her up wid him lyrics
den him poison her wid him seed

but end a month come and she still neva bleed

mi say she cyaan tell she modda
she granny a tun in har grave
“each generation ‘spose fi get betta”
a dat she granny would say

she did wan fi be a teacha
she did wan fi move to town
she did wan fi rent one one room
18 she a big ooman now

and you see nuff big ooman a do it
dem raise dem pickney all alone
she did wrong thought she could be different
but tell me which part god deh now?

she say fi "ease up", fi "slow down"
"nuh badda move too fast”
she say fi "ease up", fi "slow down"
"nuh badda move too fast”

deep deep inna she closet
right near di back
dere’s a white metal hanger
just a sit down pon di rack

and you see slowly she could a tek it
just tek her time and stretch it out
just make di hook a likkle smaller
and den well just tek it out

and mi say money fi go a clinic
tell me which part she a go find it?
use di hanger inna she closet
and den well just tek it out

she say fi "ease up", fi "slow down"
"nuh badda move too fast”
she say fi "ease up", fi "slow down"
"nuh badda move too

nuh badda move too fast
nuh badda move too fast
nuh badda move too fast fast fast
lawd, nuh badda move too fast"
