Lyrics
I'm standing in my room
Looking out the window
When dad pulls op the lot
Him my aunt and uncle sat us down
Told us the news damn
A few hours later you were put in a bed
In the living room
Laying there until you were
But between those moments I remember clearly
It was you and me reminiscing daily
You told me 'bout the songs
And music and that you love
Doing everything for us
With blessing from up above
It took seven days where we had the nights
Looking back now it's reality bites
But it was moments like that
That I cherish forever
And the fact that you in peace resting in heaven
Soothes me amuses it makes me happy
Thankful for the fact you were moms and daddy
Two zero zero eight I remember the day
It taught me to be humble reminisce all the way
We arrived at the village
The village was as expected
Hidden in the woods dishonoured and disrespected
The people that were good were silently left neglected
We were bringing food and some books provide rest
The lives of these people who never received guests
Denied by officials who vision to be in debt
I was warned that these people were violently aggressive
But walked through to streets
And invited by these guesses
They showed us respect and that weren't for us all
They were building communities no longer involved
With all the negativity bestowed on them all
Atoned by the law they rose above all
Blessed are the people who taught me these live lessons
A tribute to y'all for teaching me what respect is
Ninety five was a moment I will never forget
Living in paradise on my island life was in check
My folks were away on vacay
To clear they head
Oblivious to the horrors that was up ahead
Heard it before hand on the news
That a storm was brewing
Two hundred nine KPM's winds gusting
The beach was coming
First made it's way northwards towards Bermuda
Mother nature's rising on the glory
When it hit Sint Martin powerlevel uncanny unbelievable
Emotions spinning like a rollercoaster
When I'm looking back in the past life not kosher
Everything that happened is like it's suppose to
Meant to defy the agony it's coming closer
Grandma and pa you saved me
Not unleashed the inner demons
Without you guys I would be a bottom feeder
But I'm close to unleash the beast
The demons in me please
Don't let it be I hope you proud of me
Without succes
Everything what you told me in the past
I finally understand now I see at last
Back to the beast it was insane like a unstable mind
Debris from fallen trees
And rooftops spread over the land
Roads blocked telephone communication on lock
No way to call out the the main land
Inhabitants looting for food
Cause there was none 2000 plus homeless damn
Death toll 19 rest in peace to the fallen ones
We stand strong in at times of struggle
We move on but like bottom feeders
We abuse our natural resources
Like parasites and locusts call us locusytes
Real talk relive the moments that you feel y'all
