Wine Pon You – English Lyrics

• By: Doja Cat, Konshens

Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in a new culture, and "Wine Pon You" offers a great opportunity to explore Jamaican Patois. The song's title and Konshens' verse are in this vibrant creole language. By listening to and understanding these lyrics, you can get a feel for the rhythm and slang of Jamaican dancehall culture. The song is special because it's an early example of Doja Cat's genre-blending style and a celebration of confident self-expression.

If there's no room, boy, we squeeze in the corner

Way that he talking, you'd think that he know her

Hold up

See baby, this for the night, I won't see you tomorrow

Yeah, but when I dance here, boy you better man up

Be like a museum, got you looking, boy you can't touch

Yeah, I got him speaking, got him geeking, tie them hands up

Tappin' to the beat, you wanna freak her 'cause she random

Know you got your girl here, looking for your ass

Run, faking that you loyal, boy, you playing with her passion

Even when the beat slow, I shake a lil' faster

Twerking on the speaker, know you need her in your fan club
