Linton Kwesi Johnson - Want Fi Goh Rave lyrics

rate me

I woz

waakin doun di road road

di addah day

when a hear a lickle yout-man say

him seh:

y´u noh si mi situation

mi don´t have noh accamadaeshan

mi haffi sign aan at di station

at six in di evenin´

mi seh mi life got no meanin´

ah jus´ livin´ widout feelin´

still

mi haffi mek a raze

kaw mi come af age

an mi want fi goh rave

I woz

waakin doun di road

annadah day

w´en ah hear annadah yout-man say

him seh:

mi naw wok fi noh pittance

mi naw draw dem assistance

mi use to run a lickle rackit

but wha, di police dem di stap it

an ah had woz to hap it

still

mi haffi mek a raze

kaw mi come af age

an mi want fi goh rave

I woz waakin doun di road

yet annadah day

w´en ah hear annadah yout-man say

him seh:

mi haffi pick a packit

tek a wallit fram a jackit

mi haffi dhu it real crabit

an´ if a lackit mi haffi pap it

an´ if a safe mi haffi crack it

ar chap it wid mi hatchit

but

mi haffi mek a raze

kaw mi come af age

an mi want fi goh rave
