About the Song: 'Back Seat Of Me Uber' emerged from my brief time driving for Uber, where the daily discoveries in my backseat became an unexpected source of inspiration. What began as a simple rideshare job transformed into a rolling museum of human experiences, with my Toyota becoming a temporary custodian of strangers' lives and memories. The reggae-fusion sound reflects both the cultural tapestry of my passengers and the meditative state of driving through the city, observing lives intersecting briefly before continuing on their separate journeys.

[Intro]
"Inna back seat of mi Uber… lies a museum of mishaps!"
[Verse 1]
Eggs inna de back seat—cold an’ cracked, yuh late-night snack?
(Whose breakfast dis?)
A Polaroid camera, a passport half-opened…
Yuh life inna grip of mi leather seat!
Mi snap a photo, text yuh “Come claim dis story!”
But yuh ghostin’ mi phone…
Is dis love… or just a mystery?
[Verse 2]
Burger grease stain, a wedding ring inna fries,
(Oh-oh-oh!)
A ukulele with two strings—yuh serenade de moon?
An’ a diary page: “Dear June… I miss her…”
Now mi heart inna chokehold—should mi read de next line?
Lawd, dis Uber’s a telenovela on four wheels!
[Chorus]
When mi find it… mi say…
Whoa-oh-oh!
Backseat fulla yuh secrets (Tell me more!)
Whoa-oh-oh!
Every lef’-behind’s a chorus (Sing it raw!)
Whoa-oh-oh!
Yuh life’s crumbs inna mi Toyota…
But mi crave de encore!
[Riddim Break]
[Hypnotic nyabinghi drums, whispered toasting]
“Eggs… ring… half-sung songs…
Yuh almost here, though yuh gone…
Dis ain’t lost ‘n’ found—dis a soul collage!”
[Verse 3]
Now yuh saxophone wailin’ ‘gainst mi rearview mirror,
(Honk! Screech!)
A wrestlin’ belt trophy—yuh champion of regrets?
*An’ a dried-up rose… signed “Forgive me, Jo…”
Mi start drivin’ slower—dis ain’t just fare, it’s fate…
Yuh lef’ pieces of yuh heart—should mi keep dem… or wait?
[Bridge – Toasting Style]
“Gal, yuh tings dem a chaos inna mi ride!
Eggs a curdle, but yuh smile inna de doll’s eyes…
Mi google yuh name—yuh a mural painter from Ocho…
Lawd, should mi find yuh… or let de mystery grow?
[Chorus]
When mi find it… mi say…
Whoa-oh-oh!
Backseat fulla yuh secrets (Heavy like gold!)
Whoa-oh-oh!
Every lef’-behind’s a question (Story untold!)
Whoa-oh-oh!
Yuh life’s crumbs inna mi Toyota…
But mi crave de encore!
[Outro]
“One day, yuh’ll call fi yuh sax… an’ mi’ll say ‘It’s gone…’
But till den—mi play yuh blues…
…Inna de backseat where yuh belong.”
[Guitar solo]
"Play dem blues'
[Outro]
"Inna back seat of mi Uber… lies a museum of mishaps!"
