Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana

King Liar: You hear lie? That is lie!

Old Kai’s favourite kaiso is ‘King Liar’! Lord Nelson sang about a ‘big lying competition’ and recently I heard that the AFC staged one. This is apparently the criterion they use to eventually elect their Presidential Candidate and these guys were just exercising, to ensure they stay fit for any eventuality. The characters and incidents have changed but Lord Nelson’s focus remains the same, ‘crowning the lying champion’.

I know some of you wouldn’t believe me,
But if I lie, ask meh good friend Marky
It was a big lying competition
To see who they would crown as lying champion
Liars from all parts of the AFC
Big shot liars including Stockfeeds
From a field about a thousand or so entry
In two days it boil down and leave just 3
I had meh eye on de “Liar Prak-a-lak”
Cause I know he does come with some good ones
But they had a younger fella named Badal
Come from some village there in Guyana
He seh he is Guyana’s best businessman
Pay 80 million with a wave of his magic wand
[chorus]
Yuh hear lie, Dat is lie
Lie, yuh hear lie
Teacher Percy say if yuh tell ah lie
You going to hell as soon as yuh die
De Liar Prak-a-lak, laugh till he sweat
He say Mr Badal yu ain’t see nothin yet
If you really want to hear bout business
Let me blow you mind, now listen to something
When you talking bout payment, yuh just hit de spot
I was hoping you did believe it or not
The payment yuh made, to you it was great,
But dat is small thing compared to what I does take,
Remember de couple that was handicapped or the hospital dat I stopped?
Prak-a-lak went ahead on points in de show
Completely eliminated Mr Badal
De next man to beat was “Nigel, The Outrageous”
He ask de judges if he could lie first
The judges asked Prak, and Prak-a-lak agreed
He say any topic Nigel pick is alright with me
He outrageous, I strong, let we meet head on
And when we done see who head fit to wear de crown

[chorus]

Yuh hear lie, Dat is lie
Lie , yuh hear lie
Teacher Percy say if yuh tell ah lie
You going to hell as soon as yuh die

Nigel De Outrageous say he knew Amalia, even before it was conceived,
Dat is how he know he is a mind reader.
He say he once went to space to prospect for gold and went to Mars to collect an award.

You know de crowd went wild, they couldn’t cool down
Ah say Prak-a-lak losing he crown,
Because when de judges brought de crowd back to order,
A remember Nigel and his friend the juror,
But Prak regained his composure just like a master,
Dust off his suit and began to preach but not like a pastor,
He say Outrageous is a mind reader and that is good,
But I have the ability to go back in time to change the future,
Just look how I took BM’s Soats 1970’s transport and converted land for de road,
Then I went straight to de court. Stall de wuk, because I was bold,
Then like an Angel I appear in Kaieteur.

[chorus]
Yuh hear lie, King liar
Teacher Percy say if yuh tell ah lie
You going to hell as soon as yuh die

Teacher Percy say if yuh tell ah lie
You going to hell as soon as yuh die
