wance upon a time

jus like inna nursery rime

before piggy tun swine

mi did wear

mi fear

pan mi face

like a shiel

like a mawsk

an evrybody tink mi cool an deadly



nottn yu coulda seh

woulda mek mi tek it awf

an if yu get mi nervos

ah voulda jus lawf it awf

an evrybody tink mi cool an deadly



but not soh long ago

ins like inna pitcha show

whey di hero get a blow

mi spirit get vex

an mi get soh ressless

dat mi get careless

an goh bare mi mawgah chess



mi newah indah tink seh

dat it mek outa glaas

dat di whole wide worl coulda si

rite dung to di vien inna mi awt

ow dem twis-up

ow dem tie-up

ow dem tite-up

o mi awt

ow it cut-up

ow it craw-up

ow it scar-up



( it is a aad awt fi mawstah yu noe

dis smilin an skinin yu teet

wen yu awt sweel-up soh till yu feel it a goh bus

wen yu cyaan fine di rime fi fit di beat

wen yu cyan fine di ansah fi di puzzle complete)



soh mi tek awf mi mawsk

an staat fi wear daak glaas

but eyry so awftin

mi haffi tek it awf

an evry nowanden

mi fine mi laas

oonu evah

si mi trial

si mi crawsiz ?
