MAN OVERBOARD, Seasick Sobers - KAISO ANCHOR

🎶 Intro (Spoken – Slow, dramatic) Ladies and gentlemen… When the ship of state set sail… Everybody must be on board… Or accept what happen when it reach port… ⸻ 🎶 Verse 1 In St Kitts by the seaside Leaders gatherin’ tight Big decisions on the table In caucus day and night Programme set and circulated Agenda clear and strong But when retreat time call them in One voice suddenly gone ⸻ 🎶[ Pre-Chorus] They say the boat was rockin’ Water taxi cross the bay But governance doh wait for nobody When decisions underway ⸻ 🎶 [CHORUS (MAIN HOOK] 🚨 Man overboard! Man overboard! Call the captain, sound de chord! When CARICOM set sail to decide Somebody stay on de shore outside! 🌊 Seasick Sobers! Seasick Sobers! Hold on tight or jump onboard! When the waves start roll and the work get thick We lose we voice to a lil seasick! ⸻ 🎶 Verse 2 He say he get invitation Yes, that much is true But crossing over water Was too much to do Say the ferry look shaky And the breeze start blow But regional integration Doh stop for fear, you know ⸻ 🎶 [Bridge (Spoken Kaiso Style] So leh we be clear now… Invitation was sent… Attendance? Optional… But consequences? Permanent! You cyah miss the meeting Then question the score When the vote done count And the ship reach shore! ⸻ 🎶 [CHORUS (REPEAT – BIGGER] 🚨 Man overboard! Man overboard! Meeting start but he miss de board! Invitation send but he fraid de ride Now he questioning what happen inside! 🌊 Seasick Sobers! Seasick Sobers! Boat sail off — no rewind cord! If yuh miss de tide when decisions stick Doh blame CARICOM for seasick! ⸻ 🎶 Verse 3 [THE ANALYSIS VERSE] Now the region in confusion Narratives flyin’ high Was it process? Was it politics? Or perception passing by? Journalists in the middle Tryin’ to find the truth Between platform bacchanal And official proof ⸻ 🎶 Verse 4 [FACT CHECK VERSE] Some say others get lock out But that doh quite align Some never reach the meeting Some leave before the time Absence is not exclusion Facts must lead the way In the fog of information Truth could drift away ⸻ 🎶 [BREAKDOWN CALL & RESPONSE – CROWD] Lead: Seasick Sobers! Crowd: Man overboard! Lead: Miss the meeting! Crowd: Miss the word! Lead: Who to blame? Crowd: Not the board! ⸻ 🎶 [FINAL CHORUS (FULL ENERGY] 🚨 Man overboard! Man overboard! Facts get lost when noise get loud! If you miss the room where decisions done Doh fight the tide when the ship move on! 🌊 Seasick Sobers! Seasick Sobers! Truth go sink if clarity ignore! When process blur and perception stick Even strong CARICOM look seasick! ⸻ 🎶 [FINAL VERSE (MESSAGE] So leh this be lesson For leaders far and near Integration serious business Not seasonal cheer You cyah skip the voyage Then question the map And expect the region To just fill the gap ⸻ 🎶 [OUTRO (Spoken – Classic Calypso Sting] Next time the ferry rockin’… And the waves get bold… Bring yuh sea-sick tablet… …but doh miss de gold. 🎤
