Lyrics
That line on my knuckle come from a zinc fence off Spanish Town Road.
Was a Tuesday night, '09, watchin' how your waistline load.
Di bassline from the speaker box did shake the concrete yard,
And the edge of that sharp metal felt like a promise held too hard.
[Chorus]
And this scar, just a blueprint fade
For a house of a life we never made.
Just a one-drop memory, playin' on delay,
Di foundation gone, but di feeling, it stay.
[Verse 2]
Mama see the blood next morning, "'A wah do yuh hand?' she sigh."
I just seh "work," couldn't tell her 'bout the light I see in your eye.
Now, some walls stand tall and true, some mortar turn to dust,
And that hope I build inside me start to show a little rust.
[Chorus]
And this scar, just a blueprint fade
For a house of a life we never made.
Just a one-drop memory, playin' on delay,
Di foundation gone, but di feeling, it stay.
[Bridge]
Mi try set mi soul straight, find di spirit level,
But di bubble just tremble, sittin' on di bevel.
Is this feeling just a ghost I keep on payroll?
[Outro]
Yeah, di foundation gone...
But di feelin' it stay...
(PAUSE)
[Coda]
Just a hairline crack... 'pon my hand.
