Please don’t make me go

(Verse 1 – Punchy patois flow)
River run slow where di tall pines grow,
Cabin smoke curl in di winter blow.
Snow pile deep by di riverside bend,
Cold creep in through di coat an’ skin.
Plane lift up, clouds roll low,
Island breeze start whisper slow —
Please don’t make me go…

(Pre-Chorus – Rhythmic build)
Mountains pretty, yeah mi know,
But mi heart say island glow —
Please don’t make me go…

(Chorus – Energetic hook wit’ bounce)
Eh-eh, please don’t make me go,
Back to di frost an’ di frozen road.
Sun pon skin, let di warm wind blow,
Please don’t make me go.
No more boots in di slush an’ snow,
Let mi stay where di palm trees grow —
Please don’t make me go, no-no!

⸻

(Verse 2 – Smooth island sway)
Delaware shine when di summer near,
But January cold bring tear.
Firewood crackle, long night slow,
Still mi dream where di trade winds blow.
Reggae beat in mi head so low —
Waves keep sayin’,
Please don’t make me go…

(Chorus – Lift it bigger)
Eh-eh, please don’t make me go,
Back to di frost an’ di frozen road.
Barefoot sand, heart move slow,
Please don’t make me go.
Island sky got a golden glow,
Let mi stay where di blue seas flow —
Please don’t make me go, no-no!

⸻

(Bridge – Chant build, crowd style)
From pine tree shade to coconut grove,
Two worlds call but mi heart done know.
Snowfall whisper, “Home you know…”
But sunshine answer,
Please don’t make me go
