Spilt milk

Laid, showered wid guilt

Blocked in wid snow by mi own realizations

No longer di likkle gal I was
Mi lose mi track 👣

Nuh more footprints fi mi follow

Mi just deh yere

Duh wah mi use fi duh

Now mi out a luck cuz mi make a mistake

Nuh like mi coulda duh betta

Mi nuh know di price fi an accident

But ah pay it with the debt of knowing

ah played mah cards and end up wid nun but hope

Hope dat mi is forgiven

Hope I don't live being sorry fah what I duh

Cause by wah hapm
Naturally ah blame mi self

Is always mi after all
I is disappointment,

I is unruly

I mek no good come wid di morning roosta

I duh bad before I see di cow jump ova di moon

As always dem seh nuh cry over spilled milk

But as di carton hit di floor
Ah find mi self crying ova slipt milk

Nwoh mi no cry
Mi bawl out mi yeye
