Written by：Linton Kwesi Johnson[00:00:08]

Galang dada[00:00:16]

Galang gwwaan yaw sah[00:00:18]

Yu nevvah ad noh life fi live[00:00:21]

Jus di wan life fi give[00:00:23]

Yu did yu time pan ert[00:00:26]

Yu nevvah get yu jus dizert[00:00:28]

Galang goh smile inna di sun[00:00:30]

Galang goh satta inna di palace af peace[00:00:33]

O di waatah[00:00:38]

It soh deep[00:00:39]

Di waatah[00:00:40]

It soh daak[00:00:41]

An it full a hawbah shaak[00:00:41]

Di lan is like a rack[00:00:44]

Slowly shattahrin to san[00:00:45]

Sinkin in a sesa af calamity[00:00:47]

Where fear breed shadows[00:00:51]

Dat lurks in di daak[00:00:53]

Where people fraid fi waak[00:00:55]

Fraid fi tink fraid fi taak[00:00:56]

Where di present is haunted by di pass[00:00:59]

A deh soh mi bawn[00:01:03]

Get fi know bout staam[00:01:05]

Learn fi cling to di dawn[00:01:06]

An wen mi hear mi daddy sick[00:01:08]

Wen mi reach[00:01:18]

Jus people a live in shack[00:01:19]

People livin back to back[00:01:21]

Mongst cackroach an rat[00:01:22]

Mongst dirt an dizeez[00:01:24]

Subjek to terrorist attack[00:01:25]

Political intrigue[00:01:27]

Kanstant grief[00:01:29]

An noh sign af relief[00:01:30]

O di grass[00:01:34]

Turn brown[00:01:34]

Soh many trees[00:01:35]

Cut doun[00:01:36]

An di lan is ovahgrown[00:01:37]

Fram country to toun[00:01:39]

Inna di woun a di poor[00:01:42]

Di pain nite an day[00:01:47]

Di stench af decay[00:01:48]

Di clarin sights[00:01:50]

Di guarded affluence[00:01:51]

Di arrogant vices[00:01:54]

Cole eyes af kantemp[00:01:55]

Di mackin symbals af independence[00:01:57]

A deh soh mi bawn[00:02:03]

Get fi know 'bout staam[00:02:05]
