INNA DE’PARK - 274

Yeah Man ... a’ tickie~tickie - macka-stick
by the rivers - parkways
round abouts and causeways
this god-forsaken land
I an’I sat’ta an’ weep
remembering where - where We’re from.

A’ho~o~o ... a’ Jam-Doung Wi born
scattered all ov’a
“Inner Cities” an’ - “Ghet~t~os”
in a little division - inna babylon’s land
livin’ ... in - a - sub-division
searchin’ for where ... We belong
a’ love an’ big-up Wi Black Livity
rockin’ to de’Rhythm ... whey soothes Wi
a’Wi a’de - a’ho~o~o … run-t’ings - Yardies ...

SAT~TA ... an’ there Wi a’fe scratch Wi ‘eads
an’ lick Wi sweat
as Wi mem’ba de’sweetness
Wi lef’ doung a Yard wo~o~o.

Yeah man - de’goat’ead soup an’ plantine smell ... dey tease Wi
