Look Meh Band Coming !
By Mr. Riteous
Afropan is MY BAND !!!
I could stand up a say that seriously as man
You see, I’m not just not another fan of the steelpan
Who show up cause I’m trini and I supposed to love pan.
I am St. Lucian, Antiguan, Grenadian, Cayman, Bajan even Jamacian
Forsaking cultural practices, sleep, food, boyfriend and even woman
Just for the sweet pleasures of caressing my melodious steelpan
Even though them damm hooks always cutting up meh hand.
This is My Band! I say, This is My Band!
To take this away from me, you might as well chop off both meh hand
Cause the way I treat she, and caress my Do Do Darling Afropan
Does even make my wife say, that I horning she with pan
So you can’t expect me to stand around and bury meh head in the sand
If I see anything, or anyone, threatening the stability of my band
You must really underestimate my love and commitment to pan
If you think for a moment I will turn my back and walk away in frustration
Me! I could think of nothing better I’d rather do
When you see I come straight from wuk in my nice dan dan and 2 dollar shoe
Just for the pleasure of showing some love to my darling Do Do
By pounding out a chromatic run or two
You see; The rhythms does touch parts of my soul that no woman can
Cause it’s the lil piece I was missing to complete me as a man
So now you know how I feel you just have to understand
I will always speak up in support of My Band.
Recently someone pulled me up, and pointed out to me
That all while I saying she is my band I will never see
That YOU treat her with the same love and respect that I have for she
So from now on instead of My Band I resolve to say WE
And I also resolve that WE will protect her by any means necessary
So come, lets embrace Afropan give her a good hug for me
She’s deserving of all our love because this is not my band anymore
She belongs to All Ah We !!
