It's only once I've ever seen the man in person
Ah didn't even get to shake he hand
But in de sand, soil, salt, sun of these two islands
And in de echoe of all we steelpan
It's more than just a memory
It's more than just an honour
Cause is more than a thousand reason
We call you de Grandmaster
As a trini youth who doh know much 'bout we experienced history
I could only report from what I heard
But I've heard de songs that you've created Kitch
And man Ah love de melody and de words

So dis ditty is just my time to reflect on your offers
Things you gave and done few can come close
And is true what Keith Smith always writing 'bout yuh
But in my opinion you're one small step ahead of Sparrow
And you're one of the greatest music portrayers this world will ever see
and Ah not saying that cause Ah bias to my country
You're up there with de likes of Beethoven, Hendrix, Lennon, Morrison, Billie Holiday
You done your fair share and more and so may you rest peaceful-lay-lay-lay
(Your music live forever, Inspiring and making people better) 4x
