Back on the island
When somebody dies and that body loses soul
That soul go flying up to Heaven
Or digging down to the bad place
There be good duppies and there be bad duppies
And them duppies, hm, they be a spirit
Who has no place to go
They can't go up and they can't go down
Some of them looked so bad
Until one little boy looked at one in the mirror
And that made the duppy mean and he frightened little boys
And he turned to a pillar of salt
And all the little animals lick him away until he was nothing
[Boy 1]
Wow
[Boy 2]
There ain't no such thing as ghosts
Besides, uh, I never heard of “duppy” before
[Woman]
There's lots of things little boys ain't heard of before
That's why they little boys
But bad little boys the duppies like best
And they be getting another place ready for the bad kids to become duppies too
So if I were you, I'd be saying me prayers
And doing what the elders tell me to do
Cause the bad duppies are bad moves, bad boys
[Sample]
I feel like greatness lives on the edge of destruction
