Brixton Prison[00:00:30]

Jeb Avenue[00:00:32]

London South West Two[00:00:34]

Inglan[00:00:37]

Dear Mama[00:00:42]

Good day[00:00:44]

I hope that when these few lines reach you[00:00:46]

Me an Jim stand up waitin pon a bus[00:01:29]

Not causing no fuss[00:01:33]

When all of a sudden a police van pull up[00:01:35]

Out jump tree policeman[00:01:39]

All a dem carryin baton[00:01:43]

Dem walk straight up to me and Jim[00:01:46]
