Soca Train

Maximus de gladiator
Hotter than a radiator
Representing Jah de creator
Whoa, whoa… whey we tell dem now

Me and the youth who love the reggae
And ah singing it night and day
But the people in the country
Doh wah meh to (x2)
Dey say we ain’t no Jamaican
You in the land of Kaiso and Pan
Sing the music of yuh nation
Ah tellin yuh (x2)
Dey want to wine, dey want to grind
Woman in front and man behind
If ah not doing that, then I wastin’ time
So ah tell them…

When I decide to jump on de Soca Train
Ride on the Soca Train
Ah gettin down on the Soca Train
See me how ah gettin down on the Soca Train
Ride on the Soca Train
Ah gettin down on the Soca Train

On the Train, ah meet a good friend
Who know meh from way back when
Introducing me once again
He tellin meh (x2)
Maximus be very careful of the bad mind and grudgeful
Cause dey know yuh well capable
Ah tellin yuh (x2)
Trust none of dem, dem ain’t yuh friend
Dem a pretend, look out for them
They want to put you inside the lion den
So ah tell dem…

Too much fighting up on the Soca Train
Yes on the Soca train
Fighting up on the Soca train
No more lovin up on the Soca Train
On the Soca Train
Fighting up on the Soca Train

Artists ah go behind yuh back
With promoter and a big shot
Want to know yuh price so dem could go
Lower than that (Lower than that, lower than that)
In the end, who makin’ money
Cyah be you and surely not me
Yuh bringing down the level of the
Industry (Industry, industry)
You’ll realise, if we despise
We cannot rise, open yuh eyes
Wise’n up for all of us to survive
So we tell dem…

Too much cuttin up on the Soca Train
On the Soca train
Dey cutting up on the Soca Train
See them how they crutchin’ up on the Soca Train
On the Soca Train, Soca Train

Some of them ah get a one hit
And feel they already make it
But the next year dem ain’t sure to be
In de mix up (in the mix up, in de mix up)
You got to be consistent
In order to be permanent
And to all of yuh fans yuh got to be
Excellent (excellent, excellent)
Doh let the fame go to your brain remain the same
Doh ever change, doh let yuh career go down the drain
So meh tell dem…

Too much hyping up on the Soca Train
On the Soca train
They hyping up on the Soca Train
Too much supastars on the Soca Train
On the soca Train, Soca Train
See me how I gettin down on the Soca train, ride on the Soca Train, I gettin down on the Soca Train
Everybody gettin down on the Soca Train, Soca Train, Soca Train
