"Prime Time" lyrics
Yeah, it's after midnight
It's after midnight
You know how it goes
It's prime time in the party
Every man a running to find a space
Find a little woman to hold around the waist
Bartender better start praying
Selecta pull up and start playing
'Cause if rhythm like this goes all night
Promoter gonna think it's getting a big fight
Yes, 'cause there'll be no one at the bar
Except for those who are posing as the star
Hold on food cart, don't worry
You'll get your little thing
'Cause soon the church bell will ring
And they'll start rushing in
Sell off dumpling with anything
It's prime time, the party's kicking, yes
DJs and singers a ram up the room
Make sure dem hear dem tune
And if selecta take too long to play dem song
You know dem wrong
And it a go bring a lot of bam bam
I tell you why
People coming from all over
Some know the music have power
Check out to get the big forward
Tomorrow you're gonna hear how we chat is bad
Prime time, party's kicking, yes
Another big sound preparing to play
It's gonna go to the break of day
Security wan' bust another head
A little youth trying to make a bread
Just then, rude boy step in at the right time
Apologizing and saying
"Jah know me never know say a you a little youth that"
Ooh, a what is yah now, yes
Which crew this a come inna the place?
Screw faces and girls with laces
Jah know I was about to leave on ya
But my woman no left dem a drama
Prime time in the dancehall, yes
Gunshot a bust but Jamaican a no coward
If you never know gunshot mean forward
Every now and then, yeah, a little mistake
One gang a jail, one ride down a Nash
Yes, so you know the dance locked down
The policeman say it done
But wait until next week
When man get digi and start seek
Yes, prime time in the dancehall, yes
Every man a running to find a space
Find a little woman to hold around the waist
It's after midnight
And you know how it goes
You know how it goes, yeah
After midnight
It's after midnight
Midnight
It's after midnight
You know how it goes
It's prime time in the party
Every man a running to find a space
Find a little woman to hold around the waist
Bartender better start praying
Selecta pull up and start playing
'Cause if rhythm like this goes all night
Promoter gonna think it's getting a big fight
Yes, 'cause there'll be no one at the bar
Except for those who are posing as the star
Hold on food cart, don't worry
You'll get your little thing
'Cause soon the church bell will ring
And they'll start rushing in
Sell off dumpling with anything
It's prime time, the party's kicking, yes
DJs and singers a ram up the room
Make sure dem hear dem tune
And if selecta take too long to play dem song

And it a go bring a lot of bam bam
