[Verse 1 – Male Lead]
Male:
Truck pull up, speakers loud
Whole Savannah lost in sound
Flag in hand, I wave it proud
When she wine, she shut down town
Powder fly, sun beating down
But we movin’ like we don’t feel heat
When she turn and look back now
Man get weak in dem two feet
[Verse 2 – Female Response]
Female:
I don’t wine for show, I wine for soul
From de first beat, I lose control
Feather light but pressure strong
When I roll my waist, whole crowd gone
Paint on skin, glitter glow
Music tell me where to go
If yuh can’t keep up, move aside
’Cause I came to mash up de ride
[Pre-Chorus – Trade Lines]

We on de road, road, road!
Hands up high, let de riddim explode!
Wine down low, then bring it back slow—
This is Trinidad, lemme hear yuh roar!
We on de road, road, road!
From de truck to de last light glow!
When de bassline drop, everybody know—
Carnival time, we in control!
[Verse 3 – Back-and-Forth Energy]
