Now if the hunter ever tell the story of the hunted
Then the hunted will be robbed of it's honour and glory
Soh I and I have to shape our own reality
Preserve our own dignity and identity

Now I write my poetry to rewrite history
Burn illusions and fantasy
Shape and create my own destiny
And create my own reality

Now at the College of Arts Science and Technology
I mix and match Rastafari philosophy with dub poetry
Only to disappoint mi friends and family
And same time my girlfriend Twiggy left me
Twiggy left me, Twiggy left me

Soh the summer holiday, mi goh home to mama
A speng inna mi walla-be gun-foot-trousers
Mi buckers and tam, buckers and tam, buckers and tam
Di neighbour dem start seh
But look 'pon sister Derrie good, good bwoy doh eeh!

When mi walk up to mama, mama seh
But look 'pon mi good, good pickiney bwoy, doh eeh!

'Y', fi yamm, like Saint Vincent, yellow yam and mosella
