PORTMORE, JAMAICA - Incarcerated dancehall legend Vybz Kartel will soon drop his new single, Tasteless. We at Habanero managed to get a hold of the lyrics. In his new single he sings about how he would rather stay behind bars than risk exposure to Colombian food.
Here are lyrics obtained exclusively by Habanero:
(Verse 1) Woke up, bars dem surround, Mi hear sey Colombian food deh round. Gyal bring arepas, pon the tray so neat, Mi laugh and say, "Dis ting lack any heat!"
(Chorus) Locked up, mi savor every chew, Even basic grub tastes richer, it's true. No shade, but let mi vibes convey, Colombian food? Too bland, no way!
(Verse 2) Dem chat bout bandeja, they say it's elite, Mi rather mi jailhouse bread and meat. The rhythm, the rhyme, in this cell I dine, Why switch mi plate, when prison food's so fine?
(Chorus) Locked up, inna mi comfort zone, Colombian dish? Nah, leave me alone. Jail food got flavor, bold and new, While Colombian dish, taste like it's got no clue.
(Bridge) Some rate it high, a delicacy they claim, But mi jailhouse flavor, lights the flame. Maybe one day, mi might give it a chance, Till then, inna mi cell, mi got mi dance.
(Chorus) Locked up, mi stand mi ground, Between the two? Jail grub's renowned. For now, mi in mi lane, I deduce, Stick to what mi know, it's got the juice.
