Lyrics
This a my holy skank
On the ground where the sorrow sank
Just the one-drop beat givin' thanks
[Verse 1]
Bare board underfoot where your carpet used to be
The speaker box tremble, talkin' right back up to me
Selector play a tune, mi nuh even know the name
Just feel a different heat risin' from an old flame
[Chorus]
This a my holy skank
On the ground where the sorrow sank
Just the one-drop beat givin' thanks
[Verse 2]
Used to tend your garden, fret 'bout every poison weed
Pulling up my future just to plant your selfish seed
Tonight the moon full up the window pane so bright
And mi cultivatin' my own small patch of light
[Bridge]
Some roots haffi burn fi mek the new shoot start
This ain't no victory, just a mending of the heart
[Chorus]
This a my holy skank
On the ground where the sorrow sank
Just the one-drop beat givin' thanks
[Outro]
A holy skank...
On the empty floor.
