Real talk, soca Family... something smells in here. And no, it’s not West Indian KFC. It’s that stinking behavior that Patrice Roberts is calling out in her latest anthem, “Not Today.” This track is not merely a breakup anthem; it serves as a definitive statement of zero tolerance for foolishness, and we fully support it.

 

But let’s address the elephant in upcoming carnival fetes:That chorus? What does the word "funk" mean? Yeah... we know how the song is going down. Caribbean people possess a unique ability to improvise lyrics, and it's undeniable that "funk" is poised for a dramatic and very spicy as well as controversial transformation. Because when Patrice sings, “Get that funk away from me,” we are already hearing, “Get to fuck away from me!” ?

 

What's more, it works! Cussing is considered an art form in the Caribbean. Wait, wait, wait, no... Trinis like to cuss too damn much. But when you think about it, it just sweetens the conversation! It’s not just about being rude—it’s rhythm, it’s release, it’s realness. We cuss in style and with style to emphasize our points, express our feelings, and make them resonate more strongly—think of it as adding Morouga Scorpion pepper for extra flavor! But... we just like to cuss, right!?  Now that Patrice has released this track, don't be surprised if it transitions into an unofficial anthem for every disgruntled queen or king seeking to express their frustrations and restore their tranquility—adding a touch of lyrical spice.

 

Play it loud. Sing it proud. Substitute as needed. "Not Today" is more than just a song; it encompasses an entire atmosphere. And if you feel like cussing? Well... we're not judging. We vibing.
