[Verse 1]
I typed one word, it blinked back green
“reggae” in a box with a shiny machine
Now I got palm trees in a place they’ve never been
And a bassline smiling like it knows where I’ve been
It heard one beach and forgot my spine
Turned my hard edge soft in record time
The prompt looked clean, the result got wild
Like a borrowed accent on a stubborn child
[Pre-Chorus]
It leans too easy
It swings too neat
You ask for a flame
It hands you heat
One little word
And the floor tilts slow
You say “reggae” once
And the whole thing glows
[Chorus]
Say reggae, and it bends
Say reggae, and it bends
It gives you the sway, then it starts to pretend
Say reggae, and it bends
You wanted truth
It gave you a grin
A sunny little echo
With the edges tucked in
Say reggae, and it bends
Say reggae, and it bends
[Verse 2]
It puts a grin on every heavy line
Turns bad news mellow like a sweet white wine
A warning label dressed in a holiday shirt
Makes a serious thought sound like it won’t get hurt
And the worst part, babe, is it can sound right
A soft little charm in the dead of night
Till you spot the seams in the painted cheer
The prompt got close, but the soul got weird
[Pre-Chorus]
It leans too easy
It swings too neat
You ask for a flame
It hands you heat
One little word
And the floor tilts slow
You say “reggae” once
And the whole thing glows
[Chorus]
Say reggae, and it bends
Say reggae, and it bends
It gives you the sway, then it starts to pretend
Say reggae, and it bends
You wanted truth
It gave you a grin
A sunny little echo
With the edges tucked in
Say reggae, and it bends
Say reggae, and it bends
[Bridge]
Be careful what you feed it
It learns your mask
A little too eager
A little too fast
If you want the real thing
You have to stay close
Don’t trust the postcard
Don’t fall for the gloss
[Final Chorus]
Say reggae, and it bends
Say reggae, and it bends
It gives you the sway, then it starts to pretend
Say reggae, and it bends
You wanted truth
It gave you a grin
A sunny little echo
With the edges tucked in
Say reggae, and it bends
Say reggae, and it bends
[Outro]
One word in, and the frame gets loose
One word in, and the truth gets used
Say reggae... and it bends
Say reggae... and it bends
