In Dana We Trustby Dana · Sophie's 40th
0:000:00

Aye! Dana in the place, music mogul on the scene,

Sophie kicked me in the balls—you know what I mean!

Val laughing hard, I had it coming, it's true,

This one's for Sophie—forty years of you!

Only person ever kicked me in the balls, no lie,

Beach party in Tobago, drink in hand, liming sky high.

I was moaning 'bout something, Sophie gave a warning clear,

I ignored it like a fool—then BAM! The pain, the fear!

Drink went flying, shock in my eyes, Val roaring with laughter,

Guess I deserved it, karma came right after.

But that's Sophie for you, fearless to the core,

Cross the line, she'll let you know—can't ignore!

James and I got board meetings, girls find it ambiguous,

We retreat to our offices—substances? Ridiculous! (Maybe...)

Trust in Dana! When it all goes wrong,

Trust in Dana! It was the plan all along!

Sophie rolling eyes with Val by her side,

Listening to our schemes with Caribbean pride!

Carnival Contract played a thousand times,

Big speakers in your house, testing all my rhymes!

Sorry for the road rage, sorry for the stress,

Carnival time madness—Dana's a hot mess!

I'm a music mogul, soca records on the rise,

Carnival time hits dropping—Trinidad's surprise!

But every day I'm at your house, testing every change,

Big speakers blasting Bunji Garlin on your range!

Sophie heard "Carnival Contract" more than anyone alive,

A thousand plays at least, but the music must survive!

Comp fête tickets in return, I try to make it right,

Bringing you to all the parties, every carnival night!

We bring Pee over, swimming in your pool,

Give Val a break, super mum needs to stay cool.

Couple friends for life, visited you in Barbados land,

Board meetings by myself on your mirrored table—understand?

Sophie never gives me a break, always takes Val's side,

Relationship complaints, she's got my wife's ear—can't hide!

But I love it, that's the bond, that's the friendship real,

Sophie keeps me honest, that's the deal!

Carnival time stress, I get angry, road rage too,

Verbalizing frustration 'bout Trinidad—it's true!

Sorry for the madness, sorry for the heat,

But when it all works out, trust in Dana's beat!

Val and Sophie rolling eyes when James and I convene,

Another hairbrain scheme—you know the scene!

Trust in Dana! When it all goes wrong,

Trust in Dana! It was the plan all along!

Sophie, you're the realest, kicked me when I deserved,

Val laughing hard—that moment preserved!

Carnival Contract on repeat, big speakers shake the floor,

Comp tickets, pool days, we couldn't ask for more!

Sorry for the stress, the rage, the Trini frustration,

But trust in Dana—it's alloration!

Now I'm in California, far from Trinidad and Val,

Miss the limes, the fêtes, the carnival bacchanal.

Sophie, happy 40th from the West Coast scene,

Trust in Dana—you're the carnival queen!

Big up Val, big up James, big up little Pee,

Sophie, you're a legend—this one's for your forty!

Trust in Dana! Trust in Dana!

Carnival forever—viva Sophie! Aye!
