about

Electric is a song about chemistry. The magic that catches our eye and gets us all in our feels. That spark. With a school yard chant disguised as a pop chorus filled with optimism and adoration, a Trini chant to “blaze up” and “raise up” and a whimsical rap verse by Michigan rapper/composer Jordan Hamilton, it crackles with fun. The heart of the song is John singing to his mysterious flame: “San Fernando girl, you are the one I’m dreaming of” while Jordan’s cello playing soars underneath. Like that moment when chemistry strikes and makes everything ELECTRIC.

lyrics

Saga Boy
Ina de brand new ting now
If I'm honest tell me you're the one that dey pon my mind
If I'm honest tell me you're the one that stay on my mind
If I'm honest tell me you're the one that drank all the wine
If I'm honest. Let's be honest...

You got that Electric. That Electricity I adore
You got that Elasticity. That thing that I want more
You got that Electric That Electricity I adore
You got that Elasticity. That thing that I want more

Johnny to my Apple seed.
Power to what life can be
Can we dream what love can see?
Can we dream what love?
I don't know about you but I'm not finna lose this
Knowing what to do. Yeah I'm not feeling clueless.
Showing how we run with the crew yeah we cool this.
So we can keep this vibe going all night, all day.

You got that Electric. That Electricity I adore
You got that Elasticity. That thing that I want more
You got that Electric That Electricity I adore
You got that Elasticity. That thing that I want more

Blaze up. Blaze Up. Blaze Up. Let the fire raise up.
Blaze another spliff raise up. Cook the curry goat. Braise up.
Sing the "all praise." Raise up. Blaze up. Let the fire raise up.

Praise up. Raise up. Blaze another spliff. Raise up.
San Fernando girl you are the one I'm dreaming of
San Fernando girl you are the one I'm dreaming of
San Fernando girl you are the one I'm dreaming of

You got that Electric. That Electricity I adore
You got that Elasticity. That thing that I want more
You got that Electric That Electricity I adore
You got that Elasticity. That thing that I want more
