Dat

Rasta Ozzie from up di hill
Decide fi check pon him grocery bill
An' when him add up di things him need
Di dunny done weh him save fi buy little weed
Him hand pon him jaw, Lord
Red him eye an' just meditate

So, I forward a market
An' sight di butcher bwoy by di gate

You waan goat?
No, I might a kill I queen
Try di beef nuh
I no check fi no grass weh green
Wha' 'bout fowl?
Watch yah now, it's time fi a change
Mi have fish
Got children outta dat range
How 'bout di steak?
Watch yah now, you no sight di rate
Try di tripe nuh
Bun mi belly when I pull mi pipe
Alright, 'ole di pork
Hush your mouth, mind mi bredrin hear
Sell I a pound a dat ting there

Den di butcher pull up a stool
Begin fi question Ozzie how him so fool
Wha' kinda supm' cook inna pot?
From him born, him never did hear 'bout dat
Well, watch yah now, master
Give I time, make I try explain
It's just like a flim show
Fi protect di humble, we change di name

You waan goat?

Rasta Jeremiah from down di street
"Guidance, mi bredrin
