about

Papa Michigan, of the Michigan and Smiley fame, returns in top form riding the classic Gun Shot riddim. He started in the late 70s and over 30 years later, he can still deliver powerful lyrics over a classic riddim revamped by creative label Rub A Dub Mrkt who already produced him on top quality new rub a dub soundz.
His new release is about the current worlwide pandemic (COVID 19 crisis) and he sure can deliver !
Hopefully his new tune and his lyrical power will eradicate the virus forever !
Gwaan Michigan !

lyrics

Now the general general Papa Michi
Say big up the front line workers yeah
You a First Responders.
Heroes

Big up all the generals generals on the front line.
Fighting a battle risking hunno life.
COVID 19 one of the wickedest wickedest wickedest thing to Cripple mankind.
Shield and sword everyday them have fe Battle this unseen foe everyday them have to tackle
Men fall by the side but you'll never be forgotten
So me have to quarantine and stay out of trouble
Them say come off a the street and tan in a yuh yard.
If yuh bruck the curfew then you ago get charged.
Light a big head and lie down in a me bed
And mi say baby just give me a massage

You're looking good baby
Me and you in the house a self quarantine .
Good baby
If me never know your age me would a say a 18.
Good baby.
Population increase after covid-19 .
Good baby
Government lock we down but we still a have fun.

When last some of them thank Father God fe give them health and strength and say a prayer, me ask ?
When last hunno thank father God fe the Sun that shines and fe the rain that fall ?
When last nuff a hunno show hunno spouse love kill her with kisses and kill her with hugs ?
Well right yah now me and gal friend inna me big tub
and whey we a do we just a dance the rub a dub
Me say to her

CHORUS

Pon your laptop you a work from home
And when the weekend come and you still a get pay.
Me deh in the studio a write and sing plus a bag of Sound man say them want dub plate.

Dem lock me in a the house have me under curfew a just you and me in the house baby.
Cant go to Kingston or Ochi so what more to do or say, than say .

CHORUS
