These are both interesting and fun to listen to. I'm going to have to watch them a couple of times to figure out all the lyrics...

It's ok. That wasn't a hint. He's actually pretty clear--it's just going to take a couple of listens.

kaw mi come af age
an mi want fi goh rave

I woz
waakin doun di road
annadah day
wÃ''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
wÃ''en ah hear annadah yout-man say

him seh:
mi haffi pick a packit
tek a wallit fram
Image

mi haffi dhu it real crabit
anÃ'' if a lackit mi haffi pap it
anÃ'' 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
