Platinum Status Lyrics - The Dark 1/2 - Zulu

PLATINUM STATUS 

Yessir, sort of thinking Mr Man gone crazy with dem contract, contract dem attorney waving, 

but me na pressure, na sign until we get another zero pon de figure, a million sounds better 

Cause Granny inna hospital (what a shame) 

And dem say she'll never walk at all (stroke a blame) 

Me na trouble you with the personal (true me name) 

But business a business, you dig it ya'll 

And me na play conceited but me know seh you a make whole heap a money upon de 

Rastaman flow, me can't take your shorted check 

Original bad man come inna your place and just shoot you down 

CHORUS 

The ghetto youth we want Platinum Status 

With more money than we know how fi manage 

And any youth who no try large up, large up dem profile, 

Dem just a do themselves damage 

Can't take no handshake, why dem a pretend seh that you business well care for 

Can't take no man who tell you sign here blind, long time don youth well 

Prepared for, 

Now me say 

Joey is a singer (Him never stop) 

Him have de number one single (top of all de charts) 

Two Grammy and de record dem (frame inna back) 

But present day Joey's working the block 

And when de policeman catch you out 

Call your label and dem send the attorney come fi 

Talk to judge and bail you out 

But nothing comes free, you under contract another five years 

Sign here..F that. 

CHORUS 

See how they do you Wise man say you better 

Remember now when the mighty Zulu give you a warning 

The woman dem a wait backstage, and stand plenty 

And your limo is a Hyundai Excel drop top, on gold twenties, 

You must fi think seh that I am a sufferer, me mind inna de gutter 

I have the uzi with de verbal clip, 

I have de woman and we watch dem strip, 

I am de ni**a with de gangsta shit.
