(Intro - Dub Fade-in with Echo Effects)
No clothes this Sunday... no clothes, no clothes
Feel di skank, feel di bass, echo out across di road
No clothes this Sunday... say it again, echo: no clothes
(Verse 1)
Since di hurricane blow, we all try do good,
Collection lines long, folks drop weh dem could.
But some pack old clothes, put dem inna one bag,
Expect dem to pass clean, but tings stay frowzy an' ragged.
(Pre-Chorus)
Respect fi di people we a help, check yuh heart, check yuh act,
If it nah clean, if it nah fit, tek it back — dat's a fact.
(Chorus - Hook) (Echo on the end)
No clothes this Sunday — don’t bring no frowzy bag,
If it don’t fit or clean, yuh shouldn’t vex;
We not accepting clothes this Sunday —
Bring dem clean an' folded or tek dem back fi fix. (echo: tek dem back)
(Verse 2)
Volunteers at di table, light over every seam,
Hands quick, fingers gentle, sort out hope from dream.
One frowzy sleeve bust open — mildew hit di air,
People cough, step back, whole vibe drop; weh a gwaan there?
Fold di good, mark di sizes, label dem up right,
But dem dirty bag full a mold mek di whole night fight.
(Bridge - Dub Break with Low-End Drop)
(Leader) Who pack up di mess? (Echo)
(Crowd) Not we! We keep di culture, keep di class! (Echo)
(Leader) When dem bring frowzy bag, what we seh? (Echo)
(Crowd) Tek it back! Tek it back! (Drop, echo, reverb)
(Production note: low bass drop on the last "tek it back," sparse percussion, dub delay on vocals)
(Verse 3)
Big up di hands weh wash an' fold dem clothes, neat like new,
Woman, man, child — every piece get love an' truth.
They separate shirts, trousers, blankets soft an' warm,
They show di roots of care, keep di dignity from harm.
(Pre-Chorus)
Come wid heart, come wid care, bring what’s fit an' bright,
We lift up people, keep di scene clean inna di light.
(Chorus - Hook) (Echo layered)
No clothes this Sunday — don’t bring no frowzy bag,
If it don’t fit or clean, yuh shouldn’t vex;
We not accepting clothes this Sunday —
Bring dem clean an' folded or tek dem back fi fix. (echo: clean an' folded)
(Bridge - Call & Response over Dropbeat)
Leader: Who mek di mess? Who pack up di trash?
Crowd: Not we! We keep di culture, we keep di class!
Leader: When dem bring di frowzy bag, what we seh?
Crowd: Tek it back! Tek it back! (reverb, echo repeats)
(Verse 4 - Final Admonition)
Don't use dis time fi just dump off yuh load,
Remember human face under every fold.
If yuh wash an' fold, bless yuh — yuh do right,
If nah, tek it home, fix it up, bring it later clean an' tight.
(Final Chorus - Full Band, Dub Layers)
No clothes this Sunday — don’t bring no frowzy bag,
If it don’t fit or clean, yuh shouldn’t vex;
We not accepting clothes this Sunday —
Bring dem clean an' folded or tek dem back fi fix. (echo: bring dem clean)
(Outro - Dub Instrumental with Vocal Snippets)
Respect di roots, respect di people, keep it one love, keep it true.
No clothes this Sunday... take it back, take it back... (echo fades)
