Nahsi Niegah Naave Noh Ambishan

(Patois)

Mi noh nuo weh mek niegah peeple tan soh bad.
Dem jus cyah get di dutty wiez outa dem.

Ebryweh black peeple goh, deng cawz a wolleep a troble.
Dem neva lern fi daance a yawd, soh deng cyah daance abrawd.

Black peeple, weh mek unu soh dyam nahsi?
Weh mek niegah peeple soh woklis am bad-mine?

Niegah peeple, weh mek unu hawt soh wickid?
Weh mek black peeple laik fi fite gyence wan anedda?

Gud fi nuttn niegah peeple, unu too dyam faas.
Lef adda peeple bizniz aluon, uol niegah.

Black peeple, weh mek unu soh dyam foo-fool?
Unu mek wite man an chiney man tek unu fi fool.

Tap wok obeah fi kip dung wan anedda.
Niegah peeple, unu too nahsi, dutty, an tink.

Mi nuo seh unu noh wah fi ier di chuut,
But a black peeple gi dehnself bad niem.

Di nahsi, dutty niegah dem naave noh ambishan,
An a dat mek dem cyah reech nohweh inna life.
