Carnival Contract
Style
April 14, 2024

Carnival Contract

Me and carnival have a contract

Every year we go hard like nail

I on the road with truck bigger than hump back whale

So take a thumb tack with calendar and just mark the date

Cuz when you see them two days come around

This time is my time to jump out

My time to run ‘bout

My time to get something and get on bad on this long route

Moving with my soldiers

We don’t move with no cub scouts

Winin’ on all dem gyal from east, west, north and south

Iz we day iz we day iz we day

Hey hey hey ah

Iz we day iz we day iz we day

 

yow

Jump when the day comes

Jump when the day

Jump when the day comes

Jump when the day

Jump when the day comes

Jump when the day

Jump when the day comes

Jump when the day

 

Bunji Garlin – Carnival Contract

Produced by Banx & Ranx

Co-produced by @DanaShayegan & @thekvg
