Dem Seh Black A Evil

(Patois)

Weh mek woklis niegah soh nahsi an dutty?
Dem bring dem dutty style wid dem ebryweh deng goh.

Black peeple too bad mine gyence wan anedda.
Wite peeple bring eehn lie, am black peeple bring eehn bad mine.

Di eedyat dem seh wite man trick black man,
But if black man neva dyam fool, wite man cuddn trick dem.

Mi granny use tu seh, “Niegah cyah stan a gud bellyful,” an a tru.
Di wos ting pan di lan a wah rich nahsi niegah.

Dutty niegah an dem pickney naave nuttn bout dem.
Di wolla dem shudda still a get di lashin pan di plantiayshan.

Unu noffi inna nuttn wid nahsi dunce niegah.
Noh tell dem yuh bizniz caw dem wi tekki cuss yuh.

Bad-mine black peeple noh wah nobaddi fi ave nuttn.
If dem si yuh a mek it, dem wi try fi kip yuh dung.

A wa du dem nahsi, dutty, tinkin, bad brok niegah ya?
Y luk laik seh di parasite dem did bawn fi kawz troble.

Dem teech wi seh black a evil, ah mi did tink nuttn noh goh soh,
But uol niegah a reeli di wickidis peeple inna di werl.
