[Intro]
Feel di riddim, feel di bass — gyal tek di lead
Kingston lights, Portmore neat, midnight sweat — we speed
(Ad-libs: "Yah!" "Tek mi higher, higher")
[Verse 1]
Streetlight flick, bus a stop, concrete hot — we buss a plot
Tivoli corners, heartbeat pound, bassline heavy inna di block
Voice low, triplet flow — words like chalk on a wall
Double up di meaning — rock yuh world, nah watch it fall
Man dem lean, gyal dem swing, heels click, wine, repeat
Mi name echo inna di suite, riddim clean but wicked sweet
Punchline quick: me buss di tune, and me buss di vibe
Gyal a shell up di floor, feel how mi style collide
[Pre-Chorus]
One-two, stop — then gwaan again
Syncopate di breath, let di riddim win
Low-mid warmth, voice like timber
Pull yuh in, tek mi higher, simmer
[Chorus]
Bassline heartbeat — tek mi higher still
Up a level — higher, higher (short tag)
Drown out di world — feel di thrill
Bassline heartbeat — tek mi higher still
(Ad-libs/Response off-beat: "Higher!" "Yah!" "Wah!")
(Vocal tag after chorus: "Link up")
[Verse 2]
Smoke curl past di bar — neon name on di door
Club calle' “Gully Moon” — dancehall soldiers at di floor
Mi pitch low, subby tone, gritty like old vinyl scratch
Lines sharp, double-edge: mi buss yuh heart and watch
Mi stack rhythm like racks — money talk, gyal hush
Mi tongue a weapon — lyrical crush, hush
Specify di scene: Spanish Town roads, island breeze
We mash up di place, send dem home weak at di knees
[Pre-Chorus]
Snap back, let di snares breathe slow
Keep it low, let di bass lead, mek di heartbeat grow
Internal rhyme, quick-time, staccato spit
Pull mi deep — tek mi place, feel di grit
[Chorus — Variation]
Bassline thunder — tek mi higher still
Up a notch — buss di ceiling, thrill (Higher, higher)
Drown out di whispers — mek dem feel
Bassline thunder — tek mi higher till daylight steal
(Ad-libs: "Wah!" "Riddim!" "Yah!")
(Vocal tag after chorus: "Link up, link up")
[Half-Chorus / Call & Response]
Call: "Tek mi higher"
Response: "Higher!"
Call: "Tek mi higher"
Response: "Higher! (yah!)"
[Bridge — Sub-drop]
Strip di bass — just voice and snare, breath between the teeth
Whisper low, bold patois line — "Mi nuh love fi keep, mi love fi teach"
(Meaning flips: mi tek yuh up so when yuh fall, yuh know di reach)
(Sub-bass creeps: low rumble builds, heart like a drum beneath)
Drop back in — bass like thunder, we rebuild di heat
We rise up — pull each other — dancehall heartbeat repeat
[Chorus — Full Return]
Bassline heartbeat — tek mi higher still
Bass bury ground — vibez will kill (Higher, higher)
Bassline heartbeat — tek mi higher still
Drown out di world — tek mi higher till di morning spill
(Ad-libs layered off-beat: "Wah!" "Yeah!" "Riddim!" "Yah!")
(Vocal tag after chorus: "Link up — mi deh yah")
[Outro]
Feel di riddim, feel di bass — heartbeat lock inna place
Fade slow, hold di high — memory inna di space
Tek mi higher — short tag repeats, then hush
Inna di bassline we live, inna di bassline we trust
(End ad-libs: "
