Drop Di Baggage
Drop the weight. Lightly, lightly. A reggae-dub mantra for the soul that grips too tight.
Lyrics
[Intro] Lightly… lightly… (…lightly… lightly…) Too much weight pon di soul, yeah… Bananasutra vibration… drift now… [Verse 1] Step weh yuh take, yeah it sink inna sand Quicksand mind, try fi pull yuh down man Grip too tight, now yuh lose command Life get cold when yuh overstand Ease up now, no fight di breeze Universe move inna slow degrees Yuh nah alone inna dem unease Just let go… exhale… release… [Pre-Chorus] Why yuh hold so hard, my friend? When di river just a twist and bend… Feel it deep but don’t pretend— Every weight got time fi end… [Chorus] It’s dark ‘cause yuh try too much (too much… too much…) Loosen up, don’t grip so clutch Lightly now, no rush, no rush Drop di baggage—float and touch Sky open when yuh step so light Echo fade inna velvet night Darling breathe, it all alright Drift… drift… into di light… [Verse 2] Feel it deep but glide pon top Heartbeat sync wid di dub bass drop World spin wild but yuh don’t stop Float like smoke from a rooftop Inna di moment, no control Let it pass through body and soul Wind nah show but it play its role Invisible hands make broken whole [Bridge] Dem fears? Yeah, dem whisper low… (whisper low… whisper low…) Try fi drag yuh down below… But walk like air beneath yuh feet No resistance, just retreat From di noise to something sweet, Where surrender and rhythm meet… [Chorus] It’s dark ‘cause yuh try too much (try too much… try too much…) Ease yuh grip, don’t hold so clutch Lightly now, no rush, no rush Let it fall with a gentle touch Sky open when yuh step so light Echo fade inna velvet night Darling breathe, it all alright Drift… drift… into di light… [Outro] Lightly… my darling… lightly… (…lightly… lightly…) Throw it down… no carry… No fear… no worry… Walk so light… you barely there… Just a whisper inna di air… Bananasutra… everywhere… Float… float… disappear…
