Lyrics

[Intro] Yes I can hear them saying, boy stop living in the past Where can I find that energy, the raw raw magic that comes down from the grass-roots Yes ah from a place where soca the resounding power Yuh could feel anytime any hour, sunshine or shower Yuh will feel it any way you look AND IT READ LIKE A STORY BOOK [Chorus] I come from when ground used to carry it We used to carry it When the ground used to carry it We used to carry it When the ground used to carry it We used to carry it When the ground used to carry it We used to carry it [Post Chorus] When Arima had it Maturita had it Santa Rosa had it Down Arouca had it In Morvant had it In San Juan had it Siparia had it Look all over [Verse 1] Downtown fete was the vibes when West people leave from, link John John and Beetham To head to the playground And who they link inside Arima and Central, Tobago and Southside The traffic on insomnia morning Down dey by West mooring Have cars parking like garage Mi drinks bottle long like ruler in a cooler And we chipping down to mobs 2 from carenage [Chorus] Dem time dey The ground used to carry it We used to carry it When the ground used to carry it We used to carry it And the flag crew did carry it We used to carry it And the cooler crew did carry it We used to carry it [Post Chorus] When Central had it Coryal had it Cunupia had it Deep in Penal had it 500 had it And enterprise had it Couva had it Did full ah vibes [Verse 2] Downtown fete was a safe space 30,000 people of different background Converge on PSA grounds Shaking like a earthquake But everyone was fine It was when hot gyal wine We used to see the downtown massive and the uptown massive With no fences to separate And it was like of rite passage When yuh clothes get damage 'Cause yuh start feting by the gate [Chorus] Dem time dey The ground used to carry it We used to carry it Up and down we did carry it We used to carry it When the flag crew did carry it We used to carry it When the mad crew did carry it We used to carry it [Post Chorus] Marabella had it And Santa Cruz had it Pinto had it Palo Seco had it And Blanchisseuse had it Through La Fillette had it And Maracas had it And everywhere [Bridge] Hands in the air now Hand up the air, hand up in the air Hands in the air now Hand up the air, hand up in the air Hands in the air now Hand up the air, hand up in the air Hands in the air now Hand up the air, hand up in the air [Verse 3] Them time the lords of the ghetto did say Make sure nothing else echo but sound Big CEO and management team Used to leave work to make sure that they touch ground Big flag flapping all over like wing Chocolate baby jumping with light skin Them time a man drop a tune 2 weeks into carnival And take'way everything [Chorus] Dem time dey The ground used to carry it We used to carry it When the ground used to carry it We used to carry it 'Cause we strong when we carry it We used to carry it Up and down when we carry it Yea when we carry it [Post Chorus] When Wallerfield had it Cumuto had it Malabar had it La Horquetta had it Maloney had it Point Fortin had it Diego Martin had it A mad thing had it
