I woz

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 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
Are chap it wid mi hatchit

But mi haffi mek a raze
Kaw mi come af age
An mi want fi goh rave
