Want Fi Goh Rave
I woz
Waakin doun di road road
Di addah day
When a hear a lickle yout-man say

Ah jus' livin' widout feelin'
Still mi haffi mek a raze
Kaw mi come af age
An mi want fi goh rave

Mi use to run a lickle rackit
But wha, di police dem di stap it
An ah had woz to hap it
Still mi haffi mek a raze
Kaw mi come af age
An mi want fi goh rave
I woz waakin doun di road
Yet annadah day
W'en ah hear annadah yout-man say

Tek a wallit fram a jackit
Mi haffi dhu it real crabit
An' if a lackit mi haffi pap it
An' if a safe mi haffi crack it
Ar chap it wid mi hatchit
But mi haffi mek a raze
Kaw mi come af age

Waakin doun di road road
Di addah day
When a hear a lickle yout-man say
Him seh

Mi seh mi life got no meanin'
Ah jus' livin' widout feelin'
Still mi haffi mek a raze
