Laba Laba

Morodo's song "Laba Laba" is a powerful declaration of authenticity and resilience within the dancehall music scene. The lyrics are a direct confrontation against those who attempt to undermine or disrespect the genre and its true practitioners. Morodo positions himself as a guardian of dancehall, watching as the 'cowards' who try to disrupt the scene ultimately fail. He emphasizes that their insincere and weak lyrics will decay, unable to withstand the test of time, unlike the genuine dancehall culture that he represents.

The song is filled with vivid imagery and metaphors that highlight the strength and authenticity of true dancehall artists. Morodo calls out those who pretend to be 'gangsta' or 'bad bwoy,' exposing their lack of real style and substance. He uses the metaphor of 'laba laba,' a term often used to describe someone who talks too much without substance, to criticize these pretenders. By stating that their words 'stink' and their long tongues should be cut short, Morodo underscores the emptiness of their bravado and the futility of their attempts to challenge the dancehall community.

Morodo's lyrics also celebrate the unity and resilience of the dancehall crew. He encourages his listeners to light up their ganja and enjoy the music, suggesting that the true spirit of dancehall is about joy, resistance, and community. The repeated refrain 'Donde no hay, no hay' (Where there is none, there is none) serves as a reminder that those who lack genuine talent and respect for the culture will never succeed. Through "Laba Laba," Morodo not only defends the integrity of dancehall but also inspires his audience to stay true to their roots and resist the pressures of inauthenticity.
