Текст песни Liesense Fi Kill - Linton Kwesi Johnson

Somtime mi tink mi co-workah crazy
Di way Kristeen woodah gwaan jokey-jokey
Den a nex time now a no-nansense stance
Di way she wine-dung di place laas krismus dance
Di way she love fi taaak bout conspirahcy

Mi and Kristeen inna di canteen a taak
Bout di det a black people inna custidy
How nat a cat mek meow ar a dyam daag baak
How nohbady high-up inna society
Can awfah explaneashan nar remidy

Wen Kristeen nit-up her brow
Like seh a rhow shi agoh rhow
Screw-up her face
Like seh a trace shi agoh trace
Hear her now:

Yu tink a jus hem-high-five and James Bond
An polece an solja owevah nawt highalan wan
Wen it come to black people Winstan
Some polece inna Inglan gat liesense fi kill
Well notn Kristeen seh suprize mi still
But hear mi now:

Whe yu mean Kristeen
A-who tell yu dat
A mussi waan idiat
