The Charm

Protoje

(Oh mother, why are you crying, come to me)

Oh, you′ve been warnedAnd we're not playing ′round, the day is come
So sound the alarm
And yeah, we're breaking down, oh, yes, tearing down
So calm in the storm
And yeah, we're reigning now, it raining down
The third time′s the charm
Charm, ayy, ayy

Ayy, one of a kind style, you agree I
Dem have the R-E-D eye when dem a pree I
When dem sight, you destined fi heights
Dem get plenty idea weh dem use trick plenty guy
Mi rep fi JA, IO weh dem feel like
Mi a do di music from mi knee high
Used to listen Tosh and Free I
When pickney did a watch G.I Joe
Mi did a smoke di hydro
Deh pon ganja farm, a nuh no Old MacDonald E-I-O
Never learn physics or B-I-O
Yet a girl a give me chemistry, I see, I know
I used to invisible, I bet them see I now
Dem waan fi be I now
De Janeiro to the R-I-O
Ethiopia, then reach Cairo
Circle all across the globe, you see the seeds I sew
Lion ah roar, dis a nuh Me-I-Ow
Yuh best believe it

Oh, you′ve been warned
And we're not playing ′round, the day is come
So sound the alarm
And yeah, we're breaking down, oh, yes, tearing down
So calm in the storm
And yeah, we′re reigning now, it raining down
The third time's the charm
Charm, ayy

One of a kind stylee, you agree eh
Dem have di red E-Y-E when dem a pree mi
When she see the G63
Same words, different flow, yo, him gifted, eh
Back to the point at hand, dem have dem hand a point at me
Artist with no styles comin′ at me
Knowin' that they have to be joking
So these words have to be spoken
Open up your brain, make it soak in
Pens, pencils a mi utensils
When I eat up beats with lyrical heat
And they tend to not know what lyrical means
My rhyme stalks just grow from spiritual beans
And stalks of green help me supply miracles really
These songs are testaments to all the things that I feel
So if you with me, all I really ask is believe
That I would never let you down in your moment of need, yuh see mi

Oh, you've been warned
And we′re not playing ′round, the day is come
So sound the alarm
And yeah, we're breaking down, oh, yes, tearing down
So calm in the storm
And yeah, we′re reigning now, Jah Jah reigning, reigning
Third time's the charm
Charm, ayy
