Recommended Posts

I remember those days when hell was my home

When, mi & mama bed was a big piece a foam

And mi never like bathe & ma hair never comb

When mama gone a work, me guh street guh roam

I remember when Danny dem tek mi snow cone

An mek him likkle bredda dem kick up Jerome

I remember when wi visit dem wid pure big stone

An di bwoy danny pop off sup'm weh full chrome

I remember when wi run, Fatta get him knee blown

An mi best frend Richie get 2 ina him dome

I remember a suh di avenue turn ina war zone

An Mikey madda fly him out caa she get a loan

But Mikey guh to foreign & guh turn Al Capone

Mek whole heap a money & sen een our own

Now a wi a lock di city & that is well known

Yesterday Mikey call mi pon mi phone, mi seh Mikey.

Chorus

Wi get di ting dem, dem outta luck now

Mi sqeeze seven & di whole a dem a duck now

Wi have whole heap a extra clip caa wi nuh bruk now

Raa, raa, raa, raa

Wi get di ting dem suh, dem afi rate wi

Caa wi a tek it dem wicked of lately

An now di whole comunity a live greatly

Raa, raa, raa, raa.

I remember bout eighty jamaica explode

When a trinity & tony hewitt dem a run road

Dat a long before Laing dem & even Bigga Ford

When Adams dem a corporal nuh know di roadcode

I remember when wi rob di Chiney shop down di road

An rumour have it seh di Chiney man have a sword

But, wi did have a one pop weh mek outta board

Suh yuh know di next day mama pot overload

I remember when wi stick di poll clerks

An dump di ballot box pon tivoli outskirts

An hold a plane ticket & guh chill over turks

When mi come back a still ina di hole mi a lerks

I remember those days when informer Derks

Get one ina him face & wi nuh get nuh perks

Caa di bigga heads dem are a couple of jerks

Caa a dem a get di money when a we mash di works (but)

Chorus

Jamaica get screwed true greed & glutton

Politics manipulate & push youths button

But wi rich now, suh dem caa tell man nutt'n

Caa a we a mek, mama nyam fish & mutton

Hey, over deh suh mek mi tell unu sup'm

True mi deh a foreign now I guy kill mi cousin

Yo mi hear seh T did deh deh but him seh him wasn't

Anytime mi fly down him a get bout dozen

(Caa)

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
