[Intro] [Sparse, dry low-pass bass only] Yuh seh it one time. Mi memba. [Verse 1] [Full 90s digital riddim drops in] Sleeve pull dung ova mi hand, Still yuh notice di mark dem. Yuh neva ask mi fi explain, Neva tell mi seh all a go change. Yuh look pon mi an seh, "Yuh nuh haffi stay." Den yuh just gwaan bout yuh day. [Instrumental stop] Mi foot dem couldn't move. [Pre-Chorus] [Rhythmic density increases, bass opens up] Some tings stay wid yuh. Some tings fade away. Mi forget di sound a yuh footsteps, But mi hear dem words till today. [Chorus] [Maximum energy, syncopated groove, aggressive stabs] Yuh seh it once, Mi seh it years later. Different room, Different stranger. Same few words, Come outta mi mouth. Yuh neva deh deh, But look weh happen now. [Instrumental Hook – Muted Horns, Guitar and Bass Response] [Verse 2] [Drums pull back slightly, moody atmospheric synth-pads] Hospital light, plastic chair, Somebody sit dung, eyes nowhere. Mi know dat silence, Mi been deh before. Mi neva have di answer, Neva know weh fi say. So mi gi dem di same few words— "Yuh nuh haffi stay." [Pre-Chorus] Some tings stay wid yuh. Some tings fade away. Mi cyaan memba weh yuh did wear, But mi hear dem words till today. [Chorus] [Full groove, maximum low-end weight] Yuh seh it once, Mi seh it years later. Different room, Different stranger. Same few words, Come outta mi mouth. Yuh neva deh deh, But look weh happen now. [Instrumental Break – Dub Bass, Syncopated Horns] [Bridge] [Tempo accelerates, intense percussive breakdown, high energy] Yuh neva stay fi see di rest, Mi neva know weh come next. No big speech, No promise made. Just one sentence Weh refuse fi fade. Years pass, Different place. Same few words, Different face. Mi hear miself a seh Weh yuh did seh to me. [Breakdown] [Bass guitar and gritty echoing guitar response only, vocal whisper] A nuh mi words. Not mine alone. Different voice. Another door. [Final Chorus] [Explosive final groove, maximum volume and aggression] Yuh seh it once, Mi seh it years later. Different room, Different stranger. Same few words, Come outta mi mouth. Yuh neva deh deh, But look weh happen now. [Outro] [All instruments suddenly mute, completely dry voice] Mi neva know yuh name. Mi wonder if yuh memba mine. Yuh seh it one time. [Single heavy sub-bass note hits and rings out] Mi still a seh it.
