when a hear a lickle yout-man say

ah jusÃ?' livinÃ?' widout feelinÃ?'

still

kaw mi come af age
an mi want fi goh rave

I woz

wÃ?'en ah hear annadah yout-man say

him seh:

but wha, di police dem di stap it
an ah had woz to hap it

still

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:

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
