Sprinter Stayer Lyrics by Sugar Minott

0

[Intro]
When you take the lead, make sure you can maintain it
Woah gosh
Old Veteran
Sprinter stayer

[Chorus]
I am a sprinter stayer, long distant runner
So, boy no bother try test me
Sprinter stayer, long distant runner
So, no bother try test we

[Verse 1]
I can lead and hold on, or come from the middle of the pack
Or even if I move from the back
Like a champion horse bubbling on the track
I'm giving everything I've got
No make sense you jump around if you can't hold on
Nuff man coming from the back and dem kicking up a storm
Look over your shoulders, the crowd is on your heels
You're running out of stamina, it start to reveal
You shouldn't test the champion and now you're eating dirt
I'm gonna show you up for what you're really worth

[Chorus]
Catch the sprinter stayer, long distant runner
So, boy no bother try test we
Say, I'm a sprinter stayer, long distant runner
So, boy no bother try test we
Mi say the sprinter stayer, long distant runner
Can't test me, no way

[Interlude 1]
When you take the lead, make sure you can maintain it
Woah Gosh
Don't be an early deserter (Old veteran)
Or run out of stamina
Hey!

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I lead, sometimes I run on
All depends on how things a gwan
Some get left inna the gate, so you know dem haffi wait
Fi win this yah race, you can't start too late
If you try anything that looks kinda funny
You know they'll have to have an inquiry
Watch yah man, move out of mi way
When we reach da corner me ago show you how me stay

[Chorus]
I'm a sprinter stayer, long distant runner
Boy no bother try test me
I am a sprinter stayer, long distant runner
So, no bother try test we

[Verse 3]
Boy ago weep when dem watch the replay
The champion runner anuh romp up nor play
If a battery you a use, it just can't work
Bad ride you a bad ride, it just can't work
Dope up you dope up, that can't help you
Just surrender, I would advise you

[Chorus]
I'm a sprinter stayer, long distant runner
So, boy no bother try test me
Sprinter stayer, long distant runner
So, boy no bother try test we

[Verse 1]
I can lead and hold on, or come from the middle of the pack
Or even if I move from the back
Like a champion horse bubbling on the track
I'ma giving everything I've got

[Chorus]
I'm a sprinter stayer, long distant runner
So, boy no bother try test me
I am a sprinter stayer, long distant runner
So, no bother try test we

[Interlude 2]
When you take the lead, make sure you can maintain it
Woah gosh
Don't be like no early frontrunners
No, no
And don't you run out of stamina
Gotta be a sprinter stayer
A long distant runner
Woah gosh
Lord have mercy

[Chorus]
I am a sprinter stayer, long distant runner
Boy no bother try test me
I am a sprinter stayer, long distant runner
So, boy no bother try test we

[Outro]
No way
You can't test we, no way
Old horse
Hold the lead from with on yah
Lord have mercy
