Lyrics:
On July 31st 1943 a bloody round in the battle for the Solomon Islands
Was being fought in the tangled jungle of the island of New Georgia
This is
In the fountains of the universe
(set time in accord)
Sits the boychild Solomon
(Ever turning round and round)
In the cities of the Southern
and bring the dollars in
Keep the models following wise as King Solomon
Come slow through the jungle like an animal
Invade any land I go like General
When I get small money mi self ko jahye o
Champagne and Hennessy
When I get more money mi self Go
Dorinda, yhemolee I see you
King Solomon, no fi do
A race of angels bound with one another
A dish of dollars laid out for all to see
A tower room at Eden Rock
His golf at noon for free
Brooklyn
A race of angels bound with one another
A dish of dollars laid out for all to see
A tower room at Eden Rock
His golf at noon for free
Brooklyn
Let me see your God damn face now!
It's about you! That's all it's ever been about
(Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday
Died on a Sunday, born
a hot tub
He’s got a spa
He’s got a jetpack
He’s got a guard
He’s got a beach house
He’s got a bar
He’s got an island
He’s got it all
Solomon
In a distant land, where the ocean waves crash
Where the Solomon Islands youth, seek to make a splash
We gather in faith, our hearts all aflame
Kinja
Still Kinja our Kinja
We're Kinja still Kinja
Our Kinja
(Senator Pullman, the island's big enchilada)
Now the Yankees, they come wid der dollars
a dollar do?
But in your streets, I have no credit rating
And it might not take a lot to be alone just like you.
Heading up and out now, from your rock
A race of angels
Bound with one another
A dish of dollars
Laid out for all to see
A tower room at Eden Rock
His golf at noon for free

We be earnin', dollars turnin', 'cah we mind deh pon we pay
More than gold and oil and diamonds, girls, we need dem everyday
Recognize it, we
island
More time yuh slip up, more time you gwan wrong
Hear me out, woman I beg you understand
Even the wisest man, the great King Solomon
Tek weh him
of Arizona still can't grow a
Thing in dirt, I'm hurt
You don't know Solomon Burke or
James Brown did work
Or the son of Bazerk, Ike turner beats
Before he got
concernin' what nobody wanna say
We be earnin' dollars turnin', 'cah we mind deh pon we pay
Some got gold and oil and diamonds, all we got is Mary J
the favorite tunes
And back by the bar playing cards looking hard
Was big bad Solomon Jones
And watching over his luck
Was the love of his life
Is the lady that
hollering and bring the dollars in
Keep the models following wise as King Solomon
Come slow through the jungle like an animal
Invade any land I go like
island
More time yuh slip up, more time you gwan wrong
Hear me out, woman I beg you understand
Even the wisest man, the great King Solomon
Tek weh him
where the rebels once roamed
We built homes, civilized our own
King Solomon Childs, beautiful as black this time
We will walk on water this time
We
where the rebels once roamed
We built homes, civilized our own
King Solomon Childs, beautiful as black this time
We will walk on water this time
We
Countries and capitals of Polynesia and Melanesia and Micronesia
MELANESIA
Solomon Islands, Honiara
Vanuatu, Port Vila
Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby
A woman came and said to me
She'd seen a lady sell her baby
For ten or twenty dollars maybe
And everybody thinks she's crazy
They're too
on this island, ayy
Shit boom like M80s on this island, ayy
It's a lot of trillionaires throwin' dollars
Causin' pure hell, wildin' out on this island
I
