A Persona Non Grata

Living Intelligently From Experience

A Path in the Lives and Experiences of People

as they affect many, taken from

lives past, lives now and lives that will be

A Persona Non Grata

A lotta people does mek de same mistake

 

Putting up wid violence ‘til we at dem wake

Especially de women wid insecurities

Rihanna, tell me, you ‘aint one of dese

Sure, you may never had known before

Or you may had wanted to tame de young gully-boar

Nah more, not even if you weren’t de one

A rap like dis, it’s time tuh be long gone

 

Nevah stick ‘roung any man who wud raise ‘e han’

On such a’ important night, it even harder to undahstan’

Nah Bajan cud accept anyone laying duh han’ pon you

 

Grammy night we all wanted to hear “Barbados this makes,” two

Robyn, do like a robin and pick up and fly

And none ah we wud question you, we all undahstan’ why

There is a brighter future still ahead wid a lotta happiniss

And none o’ dis is contingent pon a relationship wid Chris
